Join 150+ automotive businesses with streamlined operations and 25% faster turnaround times
The "Fragmented Workflow" Problem
Endless manual entry for collision repair estimates across disconnected apps like CCC ONE and Mitchell, leading to data silos in body shop workflows
Delayed parts ordering for OEM components like fenders and quarter panels, causing weeks of stalled vehicle repairs in already congested bays
Inaccurate inventory tracking for paint supplies and frame straighteners, leading to overstocked bays and cash flow drains from idle capital
Chaotic customer scheduling for PDR (paintless dent repair) and full panel replacements, frustrating clients waiting for dent fixes amid fluctuating repair times
Error-prone insurance claim processing for DRP (Direct Repair Program) submissions, eating into profit margins from denied supplement requests
Team burnout from juggling vendor portals for LKQ recycled parts and real-time shop floor updates on alignment and refinish stages

With a proven track record in automotive integrations, we've empowered over 150 shops to ditch off-the-shelf limitations for custom systems that scale with their repair volumes.
Why Choose Us
Like upgrading from a stock engine to a high-performance rebuild, our custom AI workflows transform your auto body operations. We start by mapping your unique challenges— from estimating frame damage to coordinating with parts suppliers—and build a unified system that integrates seamlessly with your existing tools like QuickBooks or Shop-Ware. No more brittle Zapier zaps that break under pressure. Instead, you get flexible, owned automation that adapts to fluctuating repair demands, ensuring every job flows smoothly from intake to invoice.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Industry-Leading Results
Boost Repair Throughput by 35%
Boost Repair Throughput by 35%: Our custom AI eliminates scheduling bottlenecks for frame pulls and dent repairs, allowing your team to handle 35% more vehicles per week without adding staff—achieving this in under 3 months. Imagine bays turning over faster with integrated I-CAR workflow standards, customers driving away satisfied, and your shop hitting benchmarks that outpace competitors stuck with rigid Make.com templates.
Cut Parts Costs by 25%
Cut Parts Costs by 25%: AI forecasting analyzes past collision trends for high-demand items like headlights and rocker panels to predict demand accurately, reducing excess inventory that ties up capital. Shops using our systems report 25% savings on OEM parts within the first quarter, freeing cash for equipment upgrades like new spray booths while avoiding the downtime of rushed vendor orders during hail season peaks.
Error-Free Claims Processing
Error-Free Claims Processing: Automated AI reviews repair photos of structural damage and estimates against insurance guidelines like those from Allstate or Geico DRPs, slashing claim denials by 40%. This means quicker reimbursements in 7-10 days and higher net profits, as your team focuses on wrench-turning rather than paperwork battles over line-item supplements.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried in spreadsheets for every fender bender estimate using CCC ONE—it took our foreman two hours per job, especially with frame damage assessments. Now, the custom system pulls in damage data from our lifts and spits out quotes in 15 minutes. We've bumped our monthly repairs from 45 to 62 without hiring extra hands, all while maintaining I-CAR gold status."
Mike Rodriguez
Shop Foreman, Precision Auto Body in Denver, CO
"Parts delays were killing us during peak hail season; we'd lose a week waiting on bumper and quarter panel shipments from OEM suppliers. Their AI integration with our LKQ and dealer portals cut that to same-day alerts for just-in-time ordering. Last quarter, we saved $8,000 on overorders of body fillers and kept all eight bays full, boosting our cycle time by 20%."
Sarah Jenkins
Operations Lead, Elite Collision Center in Atlanta, GA
"Insurance claims used to drag on for days with manual reviews of paint and labor codes under DRP guidelines. AIQ's setup automates the whole thing, matching repairs like unibody realignments to policy details flawlessly via photo uploads. We got paid 20% faster on average—down from 30 days to 24—and our error rate on supplement approvals dropped to zero in the first month, adding $15K to our bottom line."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom system differ from using Make.com for my shop's automations?
Make.com excels at quick, one-off zaps, but it falters in the dynamic world of auto body repairs where workflows involve variable damage assessments and supplier variances. Our custom AI builds a robust, owned system that integrates deeply with your shop tools, predicting needs like parts for a multi-car pileup. Shops switching report 40% less downtime, as our solutions scale without the integration breaks common in no-code platforms. Plus, you own it outright—no monthly fees eating into your margins. We tailor everything to your exact processes, from estimating dents to tracking paint jobs, ensuring efficiency that off-the-shelf can't match.
What kind of time savings can an auto body shop expect from your AI workflows?
Based on our deployments, shops typically shave 20-30 hours per week off manual tasks like scheduling repairs and chasing parts. For instance, automating estimate generation from damage photos cuts a two-hour process to 10 minutes, while AI-driven inventory alerts prevent the hour-long vendor hunts that plague busy days. This isn't guesswork—our clients hit industry benchmarks, with 85% reporting faster vehicle turnarounds. We focus on your unique bottlenecks, like coordinating with insurance adjusters, to deliver measurable gains that boost throughput without adding overhead.
Is the system secure for handling customer vehicle data and insurance details?
Absolutely. We prioritize security in every build, using enterprise-grade encryption and compliance with standards like GDPR and automotive-specific regs for sensitive info. Unlike rented platforms where data flows through third-party servers, your custom system stays on your infrastructure, minimizing breach risks. We've integrated role-based access so only estimators see claim details, and techs get bay updates. In one deployment, a shop avoided a potential data snag during an audit, thanks to our audited code. Regular updates keep it fortified against evolving threats, giving you peace of mind in a litigious industry.
How long does it take to implement a custom AI solution for my auto body shop?
Implementation varies by complexity, but most shops see a fully operational system in 6-8 weeks. We kick off with a two-week discovery to map your repair pipelines, followed by four weeks of building and testing against real scenarios like frame alignments. The final two weeks cover training and go-live, with your team handling live jobs seamlessly. This phased approach ensures minimal disruption—many clients run parallel during rollout. Post-launch, we provide tweaks for any curveballs, like new supplier APIs, so your efficiency ramps up quickly without halting operations.
Can your solution integrate with my existing shop management software?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like Shop-Ware, Tekmetric, or even legacy systems. Our engineers create custom APIs that pull repair data in real-time, syncing estimates to inventory without manual exports. For example, when a job status changes, it auto-updates customer portals and triggers parts orders. This eliminates the silos that cause errors in 70% of shops using disconnected apps. We've handled everything from QuickBooks ties for invoicing to OEM catalogs for accurate pricing, ensuring your workflow feels unified and efficient from the first day.
What if my shop's needs change, like adding more service bays?
Our systems are designed for flexibility and growth, not rigidity. Built on scalable frameworks, they adapt as your shop expands—whether adding bays or new services like detailing. We embed modular AI that learns from usage, so forecasting adjusts to higher volumes without rebuilds. Clients who've scaled from 5 to 15 bays report no performance lags, unlike subscription tools that charge extra for capacity. With ownership, you control updates, and our support team assists with expansions, keeping your investment future-proof in an industry where demands shift with market trends.
