What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time and Revenue Gains Proven for Auto Shops
Save 15 Hours Weekly on Manual Outreach
Save 15 Hours Weekly on Manual Outreach: Imagine your front desk no longer chasing down follow-up emails for brake jobs or wheel alignments. Our system automates nurture sequences, sending targeted reminders based on odometer readings and service history from your DMS, reclaiming hours for direct customer service and boosting productivity by 35%, per industry benchmarks from the Automotive Service Association.
Achieve 4x ROI Through Precision Targeting
Achieve 4x ROI Through Precision Targeting: Shops using our custom automations see a 4x return within six months, with campaigns that reference specific repairs—like a customer's recent transmission fluid flush or timing belt replacement—driving 50% higher open rates than generic blasts. This isn't guesswork; it's data-backed efficiency reducing wasted ad spend on low-intent leads, especially for high-margin services like alignments.
Boost Repeat Visits by 30% with Automated Loyalty Flows
Boost Repeat Visits by 30% with Automated Loyalty Flows: Like a well-tuned engine, our system keeps customers coming back with timed promotions for synthetic oil changes or annual safety inspections. Expect 30% more repeat business, as seen in our deployments, by automating loyalty rewards tied to your shop's recommended service intervals (e.g., every 5,000 miles), cutting manual tracking and enhancing customer retention during off-peak months.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were buried in spreadsheets tracking customer VINs and service histories for email blasts on oil changes. Now, automated campaigns for seasonal tune-ups have cut our manual work by 12 hours a week, and we've seen a 25% uptick in winter bookings for heater core flushes without hiring extra staff."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Auto Repair in Denver, CO
"Implementing their custom system integrated our bay logs and DMS data directly into marketing flows. Last quarter, automated recall notifications via VIN pulls went out flawlessly, bringing in 15 extra wheel alignments we would've missed during the holiday rush. It's like having an extra technician focused on revenue growth."
Sarah Patel
Service Manager, Patel's Precision Garage in Atlanta, GA
"We struggled with fragmented customer data from repair orders leading to missed tire promotions. AIQ built a tailored automation that pulls VIN details and odometer info to send personalized offers for rotations every 6,000 miles—resulting in 40% more appointments scheduled in the first month. No more subscription headaches either, and our ad spend is now laser-focused on high-mileage fleets."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this integrate with my existing shop management software?
We start by mapping your tools, whether it's Shop-Ware, Tekmetric, or another platform, then build deep, two-way API connections. This pulls in data like service histories and customer VINs automatically, eliminating manual exports. For a typical auto repair shop, setup takes 4-6 weeks, with full automation of follow-ups like oil change reminders. We've done this for over 50 shops, ensuring no disruptions to your daily bays operations and achieving 95% data accuracy from the start. Your team gets a unified view, reducing errors in targeted campaigns.
What kind of time savings can I expect for my marketing team?
Busy auto shops often lose 15-20 hours weekly on manual tasks like compiling customer lists for promotions. Our custom system automates this entirely, from segmenting by vehicle type to sending personalized tire rotation alerts. Clients report reclaiming 12-18 hours per week, redirecting staff to core services like diagnostics. Based on Automotive Aftermarket Association benchmarks, this leads to a 25% productivity boost. We tailor it to your workflow, so if your shop handles fleet maintenance, it prioritizes those high-volume campaigns for maximum impact.
Is the system compliant with automotive data privacy regulations?
Absolutely. We build in compliance from the ground up, adhering to TCPA for SMS marketing, CAN-SPAM for emails, and data protection standards for handling sensitive info like VINs and repair histories. For recalls, it integrates manufacturer guidelines to avoid fines. In our deployments, we've helped shops navigate state-specific rules without issues. The system includes opt-out tracking and audit logs, giving you peace of mind. Unlike generic tools, ours is customized to automotive nuances, ensuring secure, efficient outreach that builds trust with customers.
How do you measure ROI for marketing automation in auto repair?
We track tangible metrics like increased appointment bookings from campaigns—expect 30-50% uplift in repeat visits for services like alignments. ROI is calculated via cost per acquisition versus lifetime value, often hitting 4x within months. For example, automated oil change reminders can recover $5,000 in lost revenue quarterly. Our dashboard provides real-time insights, such as open rates and conversion from promotions. We baseline your current performance pre-launch, then optimize based on shop-specific data, ensuring every dollar spent on marketing drives measurable shop growth.
Can this scale if my shop expands to multiple locations?
Yes, our architecture is designed for scalability, handling multi-site data like centralized customer profiles across locations. If you're adding a second bay in another town, we extend the system to unify campaigns, such as fleet-wide tire promotions. It supports up to 50,000 contacts with zero lag, drawing from our experience with growing chains. Setup includes location-based segmentation, so promotions are relevant—local weather alerts for winter prep, for instance. Clients scaling from one to three shops saw seamless transitions, maintaining efficiency and 20% YoY revenue growth from automated marketing.
What if I already use marketing tools—will this replace them?
We don't just replace; we unify. If you're on Mailchimp or constant contact, we migrate and enhance with custom AI, integrating shop data for smarter automations like service-triggered emails. This ends the chaos of disconnected subscriptions, consolidating into one owned system. Shops switching report 60% cost savings and better personalization, such as auto-suggested offers based on past repairs. The transition is phased over 4 weeks, with full support, ensuring no downtime in your customer outreach during peak seasons.
