What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains for Your Bottom Line
Slash Diagnostic Time by 40%
Slash Diagnostic Time by 40%: Technicians spend hours cross-referencing OBD-II error codes with OEM parts catalogs for vehicles like Ford F-150s. Our AI automates VIN decoding and suggests repair paths based on 95% accurate pattern recognition from millions of service records. Shops report saving 15 hours weekly on tasks like ABS module troubleshooting, directly translating to 20% more bays in use and higher ticket averages of $150 per job.
Boost Inventory Efficiency with 30% Less Waste
Boost Inventory Efficiency with 30% Less Waste: Overstocked brake rotors and understocked oil filters tie up cash and frustrate customers during routine maintenance surges. Custom forecasting AI analyzes your repair trends, supplier delays, and seasonal demands like spring alignment rushes to optimize orders. Expect ROI in 2 months through reduced holding costs—our clients cut excess inventory by $8,000 annually on average, avoiding $2,000 in expedited shipping fees.
Accelerate Scheduling and Reduce No-Shows by 25%
Accelerate Scheduling and Reduce No-Shows by 25%: Manual booking for wheel alignments leads to double-bookings and empty slots during peak hours. Our intelligent scheduler predicts no-shows using customer history on services like tire rotations and sends automated reminders via SMS. This frees up 8 hours per week for your front desk, while increasing on-time arrivals by 25% and overall shop utilization to 85%, boosting daily revenue by $1,200.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our techs were buried in paperwork for every oil change and four-wheel alignment on Chevy trucks. Now, the AI handles digital service record updates and automatic parts pulls from our EPC system. We went from 12-hour days wrestling with VIN mismatches to wrapping up by 5 PM, and our compliance error rate dropped from 15% to under 2%. It's like having an extra ASE-certified mechanic without the $60K payroll hit."
Mike Rodriguez
Shop Manager, Precision Auto Repair
"Inventory mismatches were killing us during summer tire rushes—we'd run out of all-season radials mid-week on SUVs. Their custom AI now forecasts based on our local weather patterns, past alignment jobs, and Goodyear supplier lead times. Saved us $4,200 in rush orders last quarter alone, kept bays full at 90% utilization without the chaos, and cut stockout delays from 2 days to under 4 hours."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, Jenkins Family Garage
"We integrated their system with our legacy Mitchell POS in just two weeks during a slow January. Customer follow-ups for airbag recalls and 30K-mile tune-ups are now automated, pulling in 18% more repeat business on preventive maintenance. No more missed calls or forgotten extended warranties—it's streamlined our workflow without disrupting daily grind on high-volume Honda repairs, adding $15K to quarterly upsells."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle the variety of vehicle makes and models in a typical repair shop?
Our custom AI is trained on comprehensive datasets from sources like OEM databases and your shop's historical records, covering everything from classic Fords to modern Teslas. We start by ingesting your past repair logs to fine-tune models for accuracy. For instance, it decodes VINs in seconds and suggests parts with 95% precision, adapting to hybrids or EVs without manual overrides. This isn't generic AI—it's built for the diverse fleet you service daily, reducing lookup time from 20 minutes to under 2. Shops see immediate gains in throughput, especially during mixed-model rushes.
What kind of time savings can a small auto repair shop expect from your automation?
Based on our deployments, shops with 5-10 bays typically save 20-30 hours weekly. This comes from automating repetitive tasks like parts matching (saving 10 hours), scheduling (8 hours), and record-keeping (7 hours). One client, a 7-bay operation, reported handling 15% more jobs without adding staff, equating to $12,000 in annual labor savings. We measure this during the audit phase and guarantee ROI within 3 months through efficiency benchmarks tailored to your workflow.
Is the system secure for handling sensitive customer and vehicle data?
Absolutely. We build with enterprise-grade security, including end-to-end encryption, GDPR-compliant data handling, and role-based access controls. For automotive specifics, it adheres to standards like those from the Auto Care Association, protecting VINs, payment info, and repair histories. Our systems undergo regular audits, and we've never had a breach in 50+ integrations. You own the data—no third-party cloud risks—and we include features like audit trails for compliance checks during inspections.
How long does it take to implement AI automation in our shop?
From initial consultation to full deployment, it's 4-8 weeks, depending on your current setup. Week 1-2: Audit and design. Weeks 3-4: Build and test prototype with your team. Weeks 5-6: Integrate with existing tools like your POS or diagnostic scanners. Final weeks: Training and go-live with 24/7 support. We minimize disruption—many shops run parallel during rollout. Post-launch, we optimize based on real usage, ensuring quick wins like automated invoicing from day one.
Can this automation scale if my shop expands to multiple locations?
Yes, our architecture is designed for scalability. We use modular frameworks that easily add new locations, syncing data across shops in real-time. For example, inventory levels update centrally, preventing over-ordering chain-wide. A client with two shops expanded to four seamlessly, maintaining 99% uptime. Costs scale predictably—no exponential fees—and we include multi-site dashboards for oversight. Whether adding a new bay or a satellite location, it grows with you without rebuilds.
What if we're already using shop management software—will this integrate?
Seamless integration is our specialty. We connect with popular systems like Shopmonkey, Tekmetric, or even legacy ones via robust APIs. No data silos: AI pulls from your CRM for customer reminders, accounting for invoicing, and diagnostics for repair paths. In one case, we linked a 15-year-old system to modern AI in under a month, cutting manual entries by 80%. We handle the heavy lifting, ensuring your tools work as a unified engine rather than disconnected parts.
