What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Gains That Hit Your Bottom Line
Save 15+ Hours Weekly on Lead Management
Save 15+ Hours Weekly on Lead Management: Your team spends too much time logging test drive notes from the showroom floor and chasing warm leads via phone and email. Our custom AI integrates with your DMS to automate segmentation by vehicle interest (e.g., sedans vs. trucks) and triggers follow-ups, turning manual drudgery into a productivity boost. Dealerships see a 25% uptick in close rates within 60 days as prospects receive timely, relevant nudges—like a financing pre-approval email right after their SUV test drive—freeing staff to focus on closing deals in the showroom.
Achieve 4x ROI Through Targeted Campaigns
Achieve 4x ROI Through Targeted Campaigns: Generic email blasts waste ad dollars on uninterested browsers of your online inventory. We craft AI models that predict buyer intent from browsing history, search queries for specific trims, and trade-in value requests, optimizing spend on high-conversion channels like Google Ads for local searches. One mid-sized dealership reduced CAC by 30% in the first quarter while boosting showroom visits by 40% during peak season, proving our systems deliver measurable cost reductions and revenue lifts tailored to automotive sales cycles like end-of-month pushes.
Boost Service Retention with Automated Reminders
Boost Service Retention with Automated Reminders: Missed oil changes or tire rotations mean lost revenue from loyal customers. Our automation triggers personalized service alerts based on mileage and VIN data pulled directly from your DMS, increasing repeat visits by 28% over six months. It's like having a virtual service advisor that never sleeps, ensuring your bays stay full without your front desk lifting a finger—pure efficiency for your operations, with one client seeing a 15% uplift in service revenue without additional staffing.
What Clients Say
""Before AIQ, our service team was buried in Excel sheets tracking VIN-based reminders for oil changes and alignments—easily 10 hours a week gone on manual pulls from the DMS. Now, the custom system integrates directly with our CDK software and sends tailored emails with mileage-specific offers, bringing in 15% more repeat business last quarter alone. It's transformed how we handle customer loyalty without adding headcount, keeping our 12 bays at 90% utilization.""
Mike Reynolds
General Manager, Apex Chevrolet Dealership
""We struggled with follow-ups after trade-in appraisal events for our used inventory; leads went cold fast amid the chaos of month-end quotas. Their AI scored prospects based on vehicle history queries and nurtured them with personalized upgrade paths, and within two months, we saw a 22% jump in conversions from trade-ins to new leases. No more juggling three apps—it's all unified in one dashboard, and our sales guys actually have time for face-to-face deals on the lot.""
Sarah Patel
Marketing Director, Horizon Ford Dealerships
""Seasonal promos used to be a nightmare—timing emails manually for truck buyers during hunting season or EV inquiries in spring. AIQ built something that learns from our DMS lot traffic patterns and past sales data, saving us 18 hours weekly on campaign tweaks and cutting ad waste by half on platforms like Facebook. ROI hit positive in under 90 days with a 35% increase in seasonal SUV bookings; it's a game-changer for our efficiency in a volatile market.""

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this integrate with our existing dealership management system?
We start by mapping your DMS, whether it's Reynolds, CDK, or another platform, to create two-way API connections that pull real-time data like inventory levels and customer VINs. This eliminates manual entry—no more double-checking service histories. Our custom builds ensure seamless flow, so when a lead books a test drive via email automation, it instantly updates your CRM. Dealerships typically see setup in 4-6 weeks, with zero disruption to daily ops, and we've handled integrations for over 150 automotive clients, achieving 99% uptime post-launch.
What kind of time savings can we expect from marketing automation?
Expect to reclaim 15-20 hours per week that your team currently spends on manual tasks like segmenting leads for new model launches or crafting service reminders. For instance, automating follow-ups after trade-in appraisals can cut response time from days to minutes, boosting efficiency. Our systems, proven in efficiency-focused dealerships, deliver a 40% reduction in administrative overhead, allowing sales staff to focus on closing rather than chasing. One client saved 12 hours weekly on email personalization alone, directly translating to more floor time and a 28% lift in conversions.
Is this solution scalable for multi-location dealerships?
Absolutely—our architecture is designed for growth, handling data from multiple sites without performance dips. We build centralized dashboards that aggregate leads from all locations, automating unified campaigns like group inventory promotions. For a three-site chain, we integrated disparate CRMs into one AI-driven system, enabling cross-location personalization (e.g., directing a prospect to the nearest lot with their desired sedan). Scalability comes from custom code, not rigid templates, supporting expansions from 50 to 500 leads daily while maintaining sub-second response times and full compliance.
How do you ensure the AI personalization feels authentic to our brand?
We train the AI on your historical data—past emails, customer interactions, and brand voice from service bulletins—to generate content that sounds like your team, not a robot. For example, it can craft a warm invite for a loyal customer's oil change, referencing their last truck service. Unlike generic tools, our bespoke models incorporate automotive nuances, like highlighting safety features for family buyers. Clients report 45% higher engagement rates because it avoids cookie-cutter language, and we include human review loops for the first month to fine-tune authenticity.
What ROI benchmarks have you seen in automotive implementations?
Our deployments consistently deliver 4x ROI within the first year, with benchmarks like 30% reduced customer acquisition costs and 35% more qualified leads from automated nurturing. In one case, a mid-sized dealership cut ad waste by 25% through intent-based targeting, recouping investment in four months via increased SUV sales. We track this via custom KPIs, such as cost per showroom visit dropping from $150 to $90. Factors like your current manual processes amplify gains—dealerships with high-volume leads see even faster returns, backed by our data from 250+ optimized workflows.
Can this handle compliance for automotive marketing regulations?
Yes, we embed compliance from the start, adhering to TCPA for SMS, CAN-SPAM for emails, and automotive-specific rules like accurate lease disclosures. Our systems include opt-out tracking and audit logs, ensuring every campaign—from financing pre-approvals to recall notifications—is legally sound. We've navigated FTC guidelines for 100+ clients, with zero compliance issues reported. For instance, trade-in automations flag required disclosures automatically, giving you peace of mind while focusing on efficiency. Post-build, we provide documentation and quarterly reviews to keep everything current.
