What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Drives Your Shop Forward
Accelerate Repair Turnaround
Accelerate Repair Turnaround: Our custom AI reduces vehicle downtime from days to hours by automating workflow handoffs between diagnostics and parts ordering. Shops using our systems report 35% faster service completion on complex jobs like engine rebuilds, meaning happier customers, more bays turning over daily, and up to $15,000 extra annual revenue per technician from increased throughput.
Slash Operational Costs
Slash Operational Costs: Eliminate subscription sprawl and manual errors in tracking parts like alternators and spark plugs that drain 20-30% of shop profits. With full ownership, you avoid ongoing fees while our flexible system adapts to fluctuating workloads, like peak summer AC repair surges, saving an average of $12,000 annually on emergency sourcing and overtime labor.
Enhance Customer Loyalty
Enhance Customer Loyalty: Personalized follow-ups and accurate service records on vehicle maintenance histories build trust. Integrated AI sends targeted reminders for oil changes, tire rotations, or annual inspections, increasing repeat visits by 28% within six months—transforming one-time collision repairs into lifelong client relationships without the hassle of disconnected CRM apps.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our shop relied on fragile Zapier integrations that crashed during peak transmission season, costing us two full days of lost productivity each month on delayed parts for fleet vehicles. Their custom system integrated our Tekmetric scheduling with AutoZone inventory flawlessly—now we handle 20% more cars without adding staff, and our parts error rate dropped to near zero in just two months."
Mike Rodriguez
Owner, Precision Auto Repair in Dallas, TX
"We tried HubSpot for customer tracking, but it didn't sync with our Mitchell repair logs, leading to constant mix-ups on warranty claims for brake and suspension work. AIQ's tailored workflow fixed that in weeks; last quarter alone, we recovered $4,500 in missed upsell opportunities from better data flow on tire services and alignments."
Sarah Jenkins
Service Manager, Gearhead Garage in Seattle, WA
"Manual invoicing was killing us—disputes over labor hours for exhaust and diagnostic jobs ate up hours weekly. The AIQ solution automated everything from work order approval to QuickBooks posting for multi-bay operations. In the first three months, our billing accuracy hit 99%, and we cut admin time by 15 hours a week, freeing staff for more collision repairs."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this differ from Zapier for my auto shop?
Zapier relies on pre-built connectors that often break under the volume of a busy repair shop, leading to failed automations during peak hours. Our custom AI system is engineered specifically for automotive workflows, integrating deeply with tools like your shop management software and parts databases. It's built to handle unlimited tasks without subscriptions, giving you full ownership and adaptability—no more wrestling with limits that cap at 100 zaps monthly. Shops see 50% less downtime in operations right away.
What kind of integrations can you build for inventory management?
We create tailored AI models that connect your inventory system to repair orders, supplier APIs, and sales data for predictive stocking. For instance, if your shop frequently services imports, the system forecasts demand based on seasonal trends and past jobs, preventing overstock of rarely used filters. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, ours includes two-way syncing to auto-update stock levels post-repair, cutting manual checks and saving 10-15 hours weekly. It's flexible for your exact suppliers, ensuring no disruptions.
How long does it take to implement for a small repair shop?
For most shops with 5-20 bays, we complete discovery and build in 4-6 weeks, with a soft launch to test under real conditions. This includes mapping your current pains—like scheduling overlaps—and deploying a phased rollout to minimize impact. Post-launch, optimization takes another 2 weeks based on your feedback. We've accelerated this for urgent needs, getting core automations live in under a month, all while training your team to avoid any learning curve disruptions.
Will this system scale if my shop expands to multiple locations?
Absolutely—our architecture is designed for growth, supporting multi-site data syncing without performance lags. We build centralized dashboards that aggregate metrics from all locations, like total parts usage or cross-shop scheduling. As you add bays or sites, the system flexes seamlessly, unlike rigid platforms that require pricey upgrades. One client expanded from one to three shops and integrated everything without downtime, maintaining efficiency across the board.
What about data security for customer repair records?
Security is paramount in automotive, where records include sensitive VINs and payment info. We use enterprise-grade encryption and compliance with standards like GDPR and auto industry regs, building in role-based access so only authorized staff see details. Unlike cloud-dependent tools prone to breaches, our owned system lets you host on secure servers, with audit trails for every access. We've fortified systems for shops handling high-value repairs, ensuring zero incidents in our deployments.
Can it handle custom needs like warranty tracking?
Yes, we specialize in bespoke features like AI-powered warranty management that tracks claims across manufacturers, auto-flagging expirations and integrating with your service history. This prevents costly disputes by pulling exact repair data into reports. For a shop dealing with fleet services, we customized it to batch-process warranties, saving hours on paperwork. It's all built to your specs, evolving with changes in auto regs or supplier requirements.
