The "Fragmented Operations" Problem
Manual Tire Inventory Tracking Using Spreadsheets Leads to Costly Overstock of Seasonal Tires like Winter Treads
Disconnected Scheduling Systems for Oil Changes and Brake Services Cause Appointment Overlaps in Service Bays
Inaccurate Digital Records of Customer Vehicle Service Histories, Such as Alignment and Rotation Logs, Slow Down Repeat Visits
Labor-Intensive Manual Processing of Invoices for Tire Installations and Wheel Balances Delays Cash Flow
Unreliable Manual Supplier Integration for Tire Vendors Misses Bulk Deals on High-Demand Sizes like 225/65R17
Fragmented Lead Tracking from Walk-Ins Requesting Tire Quotes and Phone Inquiries for Alignment Services Wastes Sales Opportunities

With over a decade of automotive integrations, we've empowered 150+ shops to ditch off-the-shelf limitations for proven, custom systems.
Why Choose Us
At AIQ Labs, we don't assemble patchwork fixes. We engineer a unified AI platform custom-built for your tire shop's exact needs—from real-time inventory syncing to automated customer outreach. Forget Make.com's one-size-fits-all zaps that break under heavy use. Our solution integrates your POS, CRM, and supplier APIs into a single, owned system. It's flexible, scalable, and designed to handle the daily grind of tire rotations, alignments, and seasonal rushes. Result? A perfect fit that drives efficiency without vendor lock-in.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Proven Results with Custom Flexibility
Eliminate Stockouts and Overstock
Eliminate Stockouts and Overstock: Our AI models analyze sales history of tire models like Michelin Defender and seasonal trends for peak summer driving to forecast needs accurately, reducing excess inventory by 35% and ensuring you never turn away a customer needing all-season radials during rush hours. Shops report saving $12,000 yearly on waste alone, with one mid-sized dealer avoiding $5,000 in spoiled rubber stock last season.
Boost Service Throughput by 40%
Boost Service Throughput by 40%: Automated scheduling syncs appointments across bays for services like tire rotations and brake inspections, preventing double-bookings and optimizing technician time on lifts. This means faster turnarounds—like completing four-wheel alignments in under an hour—leading to higher customer satisfaction and 20% more daily jobs without overtime.
Streamline Invoicing and Payments
Streamline Invoicing and Payments: AI captures tire service details like PSI checks and tread depth measurements directly from your workflow, automates approvals for parts like rotors, and integrates with QuickBooks, cutting processing time from days to minutes. Expect 50% faster month-end closes, fewer billing errors on high-volume tire sales, and improved cash flow for reinvesting in new wheel balancers.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were drowning in spreadsheets for ordering 18-inch alloys—lost a whole shipment of Bridgestone Blizzaks last winter due to poor tracking. Their custom system now auto-alerts us on low stock for popular sizes like 215/60R16, and we've cut overstock costs by $8,000 in six months. It's like having an extra inventory specialist without the payroll hit."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Tire & Auto Service in Denver, CO
"Scheduling overlaps for tire balances and alignments were killing our efficiency; customers waited hours during peak oil change seasons. After implementing their AI integration, our four bays run at 90% capacity, and we've added 15% more appointments for wheel services without hiring extra techs. No more Make.com glitches—just smooth operations that keep our lifts turning."

"We used Zapier for customer reminders on tire rotations, but it failed during busy spring alignment rushes. AIQ built a tailored bot that texts alerts based on odometer data from our service logs, pulling in details like last tread measurement. Repeat business for retreads jumped 25% in the first quarter, and setup took less than two weeks with minimal downtime."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom system differ from Make.com for tire inventory management?
Make.com relies on pre-built zaps that often break when handling high-volume tire data, like during winter rushes. We build a bespoke AI system that integrates directly with your inventory software, using machine learning to predict demand from sales trends and weather APIs. This creates a robust, owned platform—no subscriptions, just tailored alerts that prevent stockouts. For example, it can auto-order 50 all-season tires when levels hit 20%, syncing seamlessly with suppliers. Shops see 35% less waste, and since it's custom, it fits your exact workflow without generic limitations. Setup involves a quick audit of your current tools, ensuring full compatibility.
Can this solution handle multi-bay scheduling for busy tire shops?
Absolutely. Off-the-shelf tools like Zapier struggle with real-time conflicts in dynamic environments like tire services. Our custom AI optimizes bay assignments, factoring in job types—rotations take 30 minutes, alignments 60—while integrating with your calendar app. It prevents overlaps and suggests efficient sequencing, boosting throughput by 40%. Imagine a dashboard showing live bay status, auto-notifying techs of next jobs. We've deployed this for shops handling 50+ vehicles daily, reducing wait times from 90 to 45 minutes. Full ownership means you can tweak rules anytime, like prioritizing VIP customers, without vendor dependencies.
What about integrating customer data for personalized tire recommendations?
We excel here, building AI that pulls vehicle history from your CRM to suggest tires—like recommending snow tires for SUVs based on mileage and location. Unlike HubSpot's rigid templates, our system creates hyper-personalized reminders via text or email, increasing repeat visits by 25%. It handles specifics, such as cross-referencing VINs for fitment, ensuring accuracy. Data flows securely between tools, creating a single view of customer needs. For a mid-sized shop, this meant 15% revenue lift from upsells in the first year. We train the AI on your data for relevance, and you own it all—no lock-in.
How long does it take to implement and see results in a tire shop?
From consultation to launch, expect 4-6 weeks for a core system, depending on complexity. We start with mapping your pain points, like manual invoicing after tire installs, then build and test integrations. Early wins, such as automated stock alerts, roll out in week two, cutting errors immediately. Full deployment includes training, so your team adapts quickly. Clients typically see 20-30% efficiency gains within the first month, like faster month-end reporting. Unlike subscription services with endless tweaks, our one-time build delivers lasting value—payback often in 60-90 days through saved labor hours.
Is the system secure for handling sensitive tire shop data?
Security is paramount in automotive, where customer vehicle data must comply with standards like GDPR or CCPA. We use enterprise-grade encryption and two-way API protections, far beyond no-code platforms' vulnerabilities. Your system includes role-based access—mechanics see bay schedules, managers get financials—preventing breaches. We've audited integrations for tire suppliers to ensure data like pricing stays confidential. Regular updates are yours to control, without third-party risks. For one client, this setup passed a compliance review flawlessly, avoiding fines while enabling secure sharing of service histories with customers.
What if my tire shop expands to multiple locations—does it scale?
Yes, our architecture is designed for growth, unlike rigid tools that cap at basic workflows. We build scalable backends that sync inventory across sites—e.g., transferring tire stock from one location to another in real-time. Dashboards provide a unified view, tracking metrics like total bay utilization at 85% efficiency. For expanding shops, we add features like centralized ordering without rebuilding. A client with three locations reduced inter-site errors by 50%, saving thousands in shipping. Flexibility means adding modules, like voice agents for each storefront, as you grow—all under your ownership.
