Why Choose Us
Like upgrading from a clunky old lift to a precision robotic arm, our custom AI replaces your patchwork of apps with a unified system. We analyze your shop's unique flow—from dent detection to final polish—and build scalable automations that grow with you. No more wrestling with generic software that ignores the nuances of frame straightening or paint matching. Instead, expect a bespoke engine room powering every bay.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Drives Real Results
Faster Repair Cycles
Faster Repair Cycles: Our AI automates damage assessments using photo uploads of vehicle exteriors and undercarriages, slashing estimate times from 45 minutes to 5 for common fender benders. Shops see a 35% increase in daily jobs completed, turning around sedans and SUVs before customers start calling, with full integration into existing paint booth schedules.
Optimized Parts Management
Optimized Parts Management: Predict shortages for high-demand items like aluminum bumper covers and ADAS sensors with 92% accuracy, based on local accident trends from DOT data and supplier lead times. This prevents 80% of mid-job halts on hybrid models, keeping your alignment racks and lift bays humming and cash flow steady during peak seasons.
Streamlined Customer Interactions
Streamlined Customer Interactions: Unified dashboards track everything from initial tow truck arrivals to post-repair warranty claims on airbag deployments, reducing follow-up calls by 60%. Owners report higher satisfaction scores from seamless loaner car coordination, with repeat business jumping 25% in the first quarter for oil change and alignment services.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were buried in Excel sheets for collision estimates and tracking OEM brake pads—jobs backed up for days on fleet vans. Now, our AI flags parts issues instantly during frame straightening, and we've cut turnaround from 7 days to 3 for standard repairs. Revenue's up 22% without adding staff, even during winter accident surges."
Mike Rodriguez
Owner, Precision Auto Body Shop, Denver CO
"Integrating our old scheduling software was a nightmare; double-bookings on diagnostic bays cost us thousands in lost productivity. Their custom system syncs everything flawlessly, from tire rotations to full engine diagnostics, and our techs love the mobile alerts for incoming tows. Fixed our biggest headache in just three weeks."
Sarah Jenkins
Operations Manager, Elite Collision Repairs, Atlanta GA
"We handle mostly corporate fleet work on delivery trucks, so compliance with ASE certifications is key. AIQ built a records system that auto-generates reports for I-CAR audits, including weld inspections and paint thickness logs, saving us hours each month. No more scrambling during DOT inspections—it's been a game-changer for scaling our 24/7 operations."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle the variability in auto body repairs?
Variability is the heart of our approach. We train models on your shop's historical data—think fender benders versus full frame restores—factoring in vehicle makes, regional accident patterns, and even weather impacts on paint jobs. Unlike generic tools, this custom build adapts to your specialties, like luxury imports or heavy-duty trucks. Implementation starts with a two-week audit to capture your nuances, ensuring the AI outputs precise estimates and timelines. Shops typically see a 30% drop in rework from better upfront planning. It's not plug-and-play; it's precision-engineered for your bays.
What integrations do you support for existing shop management software?
We specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations with platforms like CCC Pathways, Audatex, and Shopmonkey, plus accounting ties to QuickBooks or Xero. For inventory, we connect to Solomon or WorldPac APIs for real-time stock checks. Our engineers use secure, custom APIs to avoid brittle middleware, ensuring data flows seamlessly from intake to payout. In one recent project, we unified a shop's fragmented setup, cutting data entry errors by 85%. If your tool isn't listed, we'll build the bridge—our track record includes obscure OEM systems without a hitch.
How long does it take to see ROI from your scaling solutions?
Most auto body shops hit positive ROI within 3-6 months. Take efficiency gains: Automating estimates alone saves 20 hours weekly per estimator, at $50/hour that's $4,000 monthly recouped. Add inventory savings—preventing just 10% overstock on $100K annual parts spend—and you're ahead. We benchmark against industry standards, like the 28% productivity lift reported by Collision Services. Post-launch, we track metrics like job throughput and provide monthly optimizations to accelerate returns. One client broke even in 10 weeks by doubling their daily repairs.
Can your system scale if we add more locations or bays?
Absolutely—scalability is core. Our architecture uses modular cloud infrastructure that expands effortlessly, from a single-bay startup to a 20-location chain. We design with growth in mind, incorporating multi-site dashboards for centralized inventory and cross-shop scheduling. For instance, a Midwest chain we built for went from 5 to 15 shops without downtime, maintaining 99.9% uptime during peak hail season. Features like federated data syncing ensure local autonomy while enabling enterprise oversight, all without performance dips.
How do you ensure data security for sensitive repair and customer info?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where VINs and insurance details are gold. We employ enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) for all data at rest and in transit, compliant with SOC 2 and GDPR standards. Access controls limit views to roles—like techs seeing only job specs, not billing. Regular audits and AI anomaly detection flag breaches instantly. In a recent deployment, we integrated HIPAA-level protections for fleet medical transports. Your data stays in fortified U.S. servers, with ownership fully yours—no third-party access unless you approve.
What support do you provide after deployment?
Our partnership doesn't end at go-live. We offer 24/7 monitoring via a dedicated ops team, with SLAs guaranteeing 4-hour response for issues. Monthly performance reviews tweak the AI based on your evolving needs, like new vehicle models or supplier changes. Training includes on-site sessions for techs and ongoing webinars. Clients get a private portal for tickets and updates. One shop praised our rapid fix for a post-upgrade glitch, restoring full ops in hours. This hands-on model ensures your system remains a competitive edge, not a forgotten tool.
