What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd lose half our weekend leads to voicemail on popular trucks. Now, the AI books test drives for our F-150s even at 10 PM, and we've seen a 40% uptick in conversions over the last quarter. It's like having an extra salesperson who never sleeps during peak family SUV season."
Mike Reynolds
General Manager, Riverside Chevrolet Dealership
"Our service department was swamped with after-hours recall calls on 2022 model-year sedans. The AI voice agent handles them flawlessly, pulling VIN details and scheduling repairs on the spot for brake issues. In three months, we've cut response times from days to minutes, and customer feedback has never been better for our warranty services."
Sarah Patel
Service Director, Metro Ford Lincoln Dealership
"Implementing this system transformed how we manage trade-ins for late-model imports. Late-night callers get instant valuations via integrated Kelley Blue Book data, and it syncs right into our CRM. Sales are up 25% since launch six months ago, without adding any night staff—game-changer for a mid-sized lot like ours handling Honda and Toyota volume."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI handle complex automotive inquiries like specific vehicle specs?
Our AI agents are trained on your dealership's inventory database, pulling real-time details on engine types, fuel efficiency, or safety features for any model year. For instance, if a caller asks about a 2023 Toyota Camry's hybrid options, the system cross-references your stock and responds accurately within seconds. It escalates nuanced questions—like custom upgrades—to a technician, maintaining a 95% resolution rate without human intervention. This setup ensures efficiency, much like a digital spec sheet always at the ready, preventing misinformation that could derail a sale.
Can this integrate with our existing CRM like Dealertrack or Reynolds?
Absolutely. We build deep, two-way API integrations tailored to automotive CRMs such as Dealertrack, Reynolds, or CDK Global. The AI captures caller info—name, preferred model, budget—and logs it directly as a qualified lead, complete with call transcripts for follow-up. No more manual entry that eats into your team's time. In a typical setup, this cuts data duplication by 80%, allowing sales reps to pick up where the AI left off, like handing off a hot prospect mid-test drive pitch. We test every integration to ensure zero data loss during high-volume periods.
What about call volume during busy sales events—will it scale?
Yes, our enterprise-grade architecture is designed for unlimited scalability, handling spikes from 50 to over 1,000 calls per hour without lag. Built on robust cloud frameworks, it auto-scales resources like adding lanes to a highway during rush hour. Dealerships running Black Friday promotions have reported seamless performance, capturing 100% of inbound leads. We include monitoring tools to predict and prepare for peaks based on your historical data, ensuring you never drop a call—critical for converting event-driven traffic into showroom visits.
Is the AI compliant with automotive data privacy regulations?
We prioritize compliance with standards like TCPA for calls and GDPR/CCPA for data handling, especially sensitive info like financing details. The system logs interactions securely, with opt-in prompts and easy deletion requests. For automotive specifics, it adheres to NADA guidelines on customer communications, anonymizing data where needed. In practice, this means safe handling of trade-in valuations or service histories without exposure risks. Our RecoverlyAI platform, used in regulated spaces, proves our track record—keeping your dealership audit-ready while focusing on sales growth.
How quickly can we see results after implementation?
Most dealerships notice immediate gains: within the first week, you'll capture after-hours leads that previously went to voicemail, often boosting bookings by 20-30%. Full integration takes 4-6 weeks, including training the AI on your workflows, but we start with a pilot on high-impact areas like service inquiries. One client saw a 15% sales lift in the first month by automating routine calls, freeing staff for floor duties. It's a quick ramp-up, designed for fast ROI in the efficiency-driven automotive world, with ongoing tweaks to maximize conversions.
What if a customer prefers speaking to a human—how does the handoff work?
The AI detects preferences through conversation cues, like requests for detailed negotiations, and seamlessly transfers with full context—call summary, key details, and even transcribed notes. It announces the handoff naturally, e.g., 'I'll connect you to our expert now.' This ensures no information is lost, maintaining flow like passing the baton in a relay. Benchmarks show 90% of handoffs result in positive outcomes, as reps start informed. We customize triggers to match your dealership's style, whether for high-ticket deals or urgent repairs.
