What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, I'd spend evenings re-entering ABS brake job details and torque values from my grease-stained notebook into the app—easily 10 hours a week on just VIN-linked logs. Now, the voice AI captures it all during the roadside service, and it's synced to QuickBooks before I drive off. Saved me enough time to add two extra alignments daily; revenue's up 25% this quarter with 15% fewer rework calls."

Mike Reynolds

Lead Diagnostic Technician, RoadRunner Mobile Fleet Services

"Our team was drowning in scanned receipts for OEM filters and belts that didn't match VIN-tracked inventory—led to overordering parts twice last year, costing $4K in excess stock for engine overhauls. AIQ built this custom VIN scanner that auto-tags everything by supplier and DTC code. No more mismatches, and we're closing suspension tickets 40% faster across our 12-unit fleet. It's like having an extra ASE-certified tech without the payroll hit."

Sarah Patel

Fleet Operations Director, FleetFix Mobile Maintenance

"As a one-man shop, chasing OBD-II diagnostic codes and odometer readings from paper to digital was killing my schedule after full-day exhaust repairs. Their automation syncs it all to my Shop-Ware account on the spot via mobile hotspot. Cut my admin time from 15 hours to 3 per week—finally got weekends back for personal vehicle mods, and my error rate on transmission warranty claims dropped to zero in two months, saving $2K in denied payouts."

Common Questions

How does this automation handle poor handwriting or smudged notes from oily hands?

Our AI uses advanced OCR tuned for automotive docs—think faded carbon copies or grease-smeared tickets. It doesn't just recognize text; it contextualizes it, like linking 'brake pad' to the VIN's model year. We've trained it on thousands of real mechanic notes, achieving 95% accuracy even in low light. For voice input, it filters road noise and mechanic slang, turning 'replace rotors on the F-150' into structured data. Setup includes a quick calibration to your handwriting style, ensuring it fits your workflow from day one. No more retyping that rushed scribble after a flat tire call.

Will this integrate with my existing shop management software like QuickBooks or Shop-Ware?

Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations tailored to automotive tools. For QuickBooks, our AI pulls invoice templates and pushes repair data directly, auto-categorizing labor vs. parts. With Shop-Ware, it syncs job cards in real-time, updating customer portals without manual uploads. We've connected to over 20 platforms, handling API quirks like rate limits during peak hours. The result? A unified system where data flows seamlessly, cutting integration errors that plague 60% of mobile setups. We map it to your exact fields—no generic exports that need cleanup.

What if I'm a solo mobile mechanic without fancy tech—can I still use this?

Yes, designed for the lone wolf on the road. We start with basic inputs like your phone's camera for scans or voice memos—no need for high-end hardware. The AI runs lightweight on a standard tablet or even your smartphone, processing data offline if you're in a service dead zone. One client, a solo operator with just a basic Android, went from 12 hours of weekly entry to under 2, adding $6K in monthly jobs. We customize the interface for quick taps during a 30-minute oil change, keeping it simple yet powerful. Training is one-on-one, ensuring you own it without tech headaches.

How secure is the data, especially with customer VINs and personal info?

Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where VIN leaks can lead to identity theft or recall scams. We build with enterprise-grade encryption—AES-256 for data at rest and in transit—complying with GDPR and CCPA standards. Access is role-based, so only you see sensitive repair histories. Our systems include audit logs for every entry, vital for insurance claims. Unlike cloud-only tools, you own the backend, hosted on your choice of secure providers like AWS with multi-factor auth. We've audited zero breaches in five years, even with fleets handling 500+ VINs daily. Peace of mind for your mobile ops.

What's the timeline for building and deploying this custom automation?

From kickoff to live, expect 4-6 weeks for a tailored setup—faster than rebuilding your whole digital life. Week 1: We audit your current process, like how you log a transmission flush. Weeks 2-3: Prototype and test on sample jobs, iterating based on your feedback. Week 4: Full integration and dry runs in your van. Deployment includes a buffer for tweaks, like adjusting for your regional slang. Post-launch, we monitor for 14 days to hit 99% uptime. One mobile shop was billing automated jobs within 5 weeks, reclaiming 18 hours immediately. It's efficient because we focus on your priorities, not a rigid timeline.

Can this scale if I add more mechanics or expand my service area?

Built to grow with you. Our architecture uses modular AI agents that adapt—add a new tech, and the system auto-assigns data flows without recoding. For expansion, like covering new counties, we integrate GPS triggers for location-specific compliance, such as state emissions logs. A client fleet grew from 3 to 8 vans; scaling took just one week of config, boosting their efficiency 50% without added admin. No performance dips, thanks to cloud-optimized processing that handles 1,000+ daily entries. It's future-proof, turning your solo rig into a networked operation seamlessly.
