Join 150+ businesses with streamlined dealership operations
The "Dealership Coordination" Problem
Manual service bay assignments in busy dealerships leading to double-booking of repair slots and idle technician time during peak oil change and tire rotation seasons
Fragmented handoffs of online lease inquiry leads to showroom sales advisors, resulting in lost opportunities for vehicle financing and trade-in deals
Delayed alerts for OEM parts inventory shortages overwhelming service channels with manual Slack or email pings during high-demand repair periods
Scattered customer follow-up reminders for scheduled maintenance like brake inspections across emails and chats, missing critical 30-day post-service windows
Compliance reporting for state-mandated vehicle safety inspections buried in unstructured team threads within dealership management systems
Overloaded communication channels during peak lot traffic for urgent collision repair escalations, delaying triage for damaged vehicles

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our service team drowned in Teams messages tracking bay statuses for engine diagnostics. Now, the automation assigns jobs based on technician specialties like hybrid repairs, cutting downtime by 12 hours a week. Sales handoffs for trade-ins are seamless too—closed three extra SUV deals last month without the usual delays."

"Implementing their Teams automation was a game-changer during our busy summer tire season. No more manual reminders for follow-ups on warranty alignments; the bot schedules them via DMS. Saved us 18 hours weekly on admin tasks, and CSI scores jumped 15% with faster responses to oil service inquiries."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle our dealership's peak season traffic?
Our custom Microsoft Teams automation is designed to scale effortlessly with your busiest periods, like end-of-month sales rushes or spring service surges. We build in robust queuing for high-volume alerts—think auto-prioritizing urgent bay requests over routine updates—ensuring no messages get lost. For a mid-sized dealership we worked with, this handled 500+ daily interactions without slowdowns, saving 10 hours weekly on manual triage. It's all coded to your workflow, integrating with your DMS for real-time data pulls, so your team stays ahead without the chaos.
Will this integrate with our existing CRM and inventory systems?
Absolutely—integration is our core strength. We create deep, two-way API connections between Teams and tools like Dealertrack, Reynolds & Reynolds, or your preferred DMS, pulling in vehicle data, customer histories, and stock levels automatically. No more copying info between apps; bots update everything in real-time. One client synced their CDK system seamlessly, reducing data entry errors by 40% and speeding up sales handoffs. We map this to your exact setup during discovery, ensuring zero disruptions and full ownership of the unified system.
What kind of time savings can we expect in the first month?
Dealerships typically see 15-25 hours saved per week right out of the gate, focusing on high-impact areas like service coordination and lead follow-ups. For instance, automating bay assignments alone cuts manual assignments by 70%, while sales bots handle routine pings, freeing reps for face-to-face closes. Our approach starts with quick wins—deploying core bots in week one—then refines for deeper gains. A recent project for a 50-employee dealership delivered 18 hours weekly savings by month-end, directly boosting their close rate by 22% through faster responses.
Is the solution secure for handling sensitive customer and VIN data?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, so we embed enterprise-grade protections from the start, including encryption for all data flows and compliance with regs like TCPA for customer comms. Bots only access what they need, with audit trails for every action—like VIN lookups or financing notes. We've built this for dealerships facing strict audits, reducing breach risks by 60% compared to manual processes. Full ownership means you control access, and we conduct penetration testing pre-launch to ensure it's bulletproof against dealership-specific threats.
How customizable is this for our unique dealership processes?
100% custom-built to your operations—no templates here. We start by shadowing your teams to capture nuances, like how your F&I department handles approvals or service bays prioritize EVs. Then, we engineer bots that adapt, such as auto-escalating high-dollar repairs based on your thresholds. A family-owned dealership we served customized alerts for their hybrid sales model, resulting in 30% faster inventory turns. It's like tuning an engine to your driving style: precise, efficient, and built to last without ongoing vendor dependencies.
What support do you provide after implementation?
We don't just launch and leave; our partnership includes 30 days of hands-on monitoring to optimize performance, plus quarterly reviews to adapt as your dealership evolves—say, adding new model lines. Training sessions ensure your team maximizes the tools, and we offer priority support for any tweaks. Clients appreciate this, with one noting it helped them scale from 20 to 40 bays without hiccups. Ultimately, you own the system, but our expertise keeps it running at peak efficiency, delivering sustained ROI year after year.
