The "Stripe Chaos" Problem
Manual entry of Stripe payments for PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) jobs into QuickBooks or Shop-Ware eats up 2-3 end-of-day hours per tech
Disputed charges from customers over repair estimates lead to back-and-forth emails and delayed reimbursements
Tracking partial payments for multi-stage frame straightening and panel replacement jobs creates error-prone Excel spreadsheets that estimators distrust
Insurance claim billing mismatches cause payment holds, stalling your shop's cash flow during peak seasons
Forgotten follow-ups on overdue invoices for custom chrome plating and airbrushing jobs result in $2K+ write-offs and lost repeat business from enthusiasts
Seasonal surges in hail damage dent repair payments, with 50+ jobs weekly, overwhelm estimators, leading to 10-15% errors in Stripe reconciliation against I-CAR estimates

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd lose half a day every Friday manually entering Stripe payments for hail dent pulls into our Shopmonkey software. Now, it's fully automated—last quarter, we saved 18 hours and accelerated payment on a 15-vehicle fleet collision job that cleared $12K two weeks faster than our usual 30-day cycle."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Collision & Bodyworks
"The custom integration they built synced Stripe invoices directly to our CCC ONE job tickets for insurance direct billing on aluminum panel repairs. No more chasing partial payments mid-frame alignment. Over six months, our cash flow jumped 25% from quicker reimbursements, and estimators now wrap up by 5 PM consistently."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Precision Auto Body & Frame
"During last summer's hail storm, we handled 150+ PDR jobs with split Stripe payments for mobile services—manual entry was chaos at 25 hours weekly. Their automation synced everything to our Alldata estimates flawlessly, dropping admin to under 5 hours and avoiding $3K in errors on high-volume claims."

What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle split payments for long-term repair jobs?
Our custom system tracks multi-stage payments automatically, linking Stripe transactions to specific milestones in your job workflow—like initial dent assessment, frame straightening, and final paint. For a typical fender bender job spanning two weeks, it generates partial invoices on completion of each phase, notifies customers via integrated email, and reconciles everything in your shop software. This eliminates manual tracking, reducing errors by 85% based on our deployments. We tailor it to your exact process, ensuring no payment slips through during busy seasons. Setup includes testing with your real job data for accuracy.
Will this integrate with my existing shop management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep API integrations with tools like Shopmonkey, Tekmetric, or even legacy systems common in auto body shops. The automation pulls payment data from Stripe and pushes it directly into your job tickets, updating statuses like 'payment pending' to 'cleared' in real-time. For example, after a customer pays for parts via Stripe, it auto-adjusts your inventory and labor logs. We've done this for over 100 automotive clients, achieving 99% sync reliability. During discovery, we map your setup to avoid any disruptions to ongoing repairs.
What kind of time savings can an auto body shop expect?
Shops typically save 15-25 hours per week on payment admin alone. Think of it: instead of your office manager manually entering Stripe data after a day of collision work, the system does it instantly. One client, handling 150 repairs monthly, cut their billing time from 20 hours to 4, allowing focus on customer follow-ups and upselling alignments. ROI hits 300% in year one through faster cash flow—insurance reimbursements process 20-30% quicker. We benchmark against your shop's volume to project exact gains during consultation.
Is the system secure for handling customer payment data?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive payments, especially with insurance details involved. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, full PCI DSS compliance, and role-based access so only authorized staff see sensitive info. Stripe's secure gateway handles all transactions, while our AI layer processes data without storing card details. For auto body shops, this means safe handling of high-value claims without breach risks. We've audited systems for compliance in regulated industries, ensuring your setup withstands audits. Regular updates keep it protected against evolving threats.
How much does custom Stripe automation cost for my shop?
Costs vary by your shop's scale— for a mid-sized auto body operation with 10-20 bays, expect $8,000-$15,000 for full build and integration, with ongoing maintenance under $500/month. This replaces multiple subscriptions, netting savings of $2,000+ annually. We focus on ROI: one shop recouped investment in four months via reduced admin and faster payouts on 200+ jobs. No upfront fees beyond consultation; we provide a detailed quote after mapping your workflow, including projections for time saved on repair billing.
Can this automation scale if my shop expands?
Yes, our production-ready architecture is designed for growth. Starting with your current 100 repairs monthly, it handles surges to 500 without performance dips—think seasonal hail damage rushes. We use scalable cloud frameworks that auto-adjust resources, integrating new bays or services seamlessly. A client expanded from two locations to four; we upgraded their system in weeks, maintaining 99.9% uptime. Unlike rigid no-code tools, ours evolves with your business, from adding voice payment confirmations to multi-shop dashboards.
