What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Unlimited Growth Potential
Seamless Inventory Scaling
Seamless Inventory Scaling: Our AI forecasting eliminates stockouts during peak seasons, like end-of-quarter pushes for new model launches. Dealerships report 28% reduction in carrying costs on slow-moving inventory like compact sedans, with models predicting EV demand surges accurately to 92% within quarterly horizons, freeing capital for fleet expansions.
Accelerated Sales Cycles
Accelerated Sales Cycles: Personalized lead scoring prioritizes hot prospects from online inquiries for F&I upsells, cutting follow-up time by 50% during high-volume months. This results in 35% higher close rates on trade-ins and new vehicle sales, directly fueling revenue growth without adding headcount, enabling seamless scaling to multiple locations.
Efficient Service Operations
Efficient Service Operations: AI-driven scheduling optimizes technician routes and OEM parts availability across bays, reducing repair turnaround by 22 hours on average for complex diagnostics. This boosts customer satisfaction scores to 4.8/5, driving repeat business and service revenue up 18% year-over-year, supporting expansion into additional service centers.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our dealership was drowning in manual VIN decodes and scattered lease renewal notes—lost two big fleet deals last quarter because of delayed follow-ups on corporate inquiries. Now, the unified system flags high-value leads instantly via integrated DMS, and we've closed 15% more units in six months without hiring extra sales staff, allowing us to scale promotions effortlessly."
Mike Reynolds
General Manager, Midwest Auto Group (5-location Chevrolet and Ford dealership network)
"Scaling to three locations meant chaos with our old DMS integrations; parts orders from fragmented supplier portals were delayed by days, frustrating customers waiting on brake repairs. Their custom AI cut those delays to under an hour with predictive stocking, and our service throughput jumped 40%—finally, a system that grows with our multi-site expansion without operational breakdowns."
Sarah Chen
Operations Director, Pacific Dealerships (Toyota and Honda franchise with regional service hubs)
"We were overstocked on sedans by 30 units last year due to poor forecasting amid the SUV boom—tied up $600K in inventory that could've funded EV charging station installs. AIQ's predictive models nailed our SUV demand shift based on regional sales data, saving us that headache and adding $250K to our bottom line this fiscal, positioning us for aggressive market expansion."
Tom Vargas
Inventory Manager, Southern Motors (GMC and Buick dealership specializing in truck sales)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI software integrate with existing dealership management systems like CDK?
We specialize in robust, two-way integrations that connect our custom AI directly to platforms like CDK Global or Reynolds, pulling in real-time data on vehicle inventory, customer records, and service logs. This creates a single source of truth without manual exports—think of it as welding your systems into a cohesive frame rather than bolting on loose parts. Our process starts with an API audit to ensure seamless data flow, reducing errors by 90% and enabling features like instant lead-to-DMS handoffs. For a mid-sized dealership, this typically takes 4-6 weeks, with ongoing support to handle updates. The result? Scalable operations that grow with your sales volume, no matter if you're adding lots or locations.
Can your solutions handle the seasonal demand spikes in car sales?
Absolutely—our AI is built for the automotive cycle's ups and downs, like quarter-end rushes or holiday trade-ins. We deploy predictive models that analyze historical sales, market trends, and even weather impacts on buyer behavior to forecast demand with 95% accuracy. This prevents overstocking on slow-movers while ensuring popular models like SUVs are ready. Unlike rigid off-the-shelf tools, our enterprise-grade system scales dynamically, handling 2-3x volume surges without crashing. A client in Texas saw their inventory turnover improve from 45 to 28 days during peak season after implementation, unlocking $150K in working capital. We tailor this to your specific market, ensuring no bottlenecks stall your growth.
What makes your AI different for multi-location dealerships?
For groups with multiple sites, we architect a centralized yet flexible system that unifies data across locations while allowing site-specific customizations—like regional pricing for EVs. This eliminates the nightmare of reconciling disparate reports, providing a master dashboard for chain-wide KPIs such as overall lot utilization or group-wide service revenue. Our solutions use secure, scalable cloud infrastructure to support expansion without proportional cost increases; adding a new site takes days, not months. We've helped a five-location chain reduce inter-site data discrepancies by 85%, streamlining everything from shared inventory pools to consolidated compliance tracking. It's designed to grow with your enterprise, turning multi-site complexity into a competitive edge.
How secure is the AI system for handling sensitive customer data in automotive sales?
Security is non-negotiable in our builds, especially with customer financing details and vehicle histories. We embed enterprise-grade encryption, GDPR/CCPA compliance, and role-based access controls from the start, ensuring data like SSNs or loan apps stays protected. Our systems undergo regular penetration testing, achieving SOC 2 Type II certification—far beyond basic no-code setups. For dealerships, this means seamless integration with secure DMS protocols while mitigating risks like cyber threats targeting auto finance. A recent client audit showed zero vulnerabilities post-deployment, and we've prevented potential breaches that could cost $100K+ in fines. You own the system, so we train your team on best practices, keeping your operations ironclad as you scale.
What's the timeline and cost for developing custom AI for a dealership?
Timelines vary by scope but typically span 8-12 weeks for a full multi-service rollout, starting with a 2-week discovery to map your workflows. Costs are project-based, not hourly, averaging $75K-$150K for SMB dealerships, depending on integrations like CRM-to-AI lead scoring or inventory forecasting. This investment pays off quickly—our clients recoup in 6-9 months through 30% efficiency gains and reduced tool subscriptions. We avoid hidden fees by providing transparent milestones: design, build, test, and optimize. For example, a 150-vehicle dealership implemented our system in 10 weeks, cutting admin time by 25 hours weekly and boosting sales closes by 20%. It's a one-time build for lifelong ownership, scaling cost-effectively as your business grows.
Will your AI help with EV transition challenges in inventory management?
Yes, our AI is tailored for the shift to electric vehicles, addressing unique challenges like longer charge times impacting test drives or fluctuating battery supply chains. We build models that incorporate EV-specific data—such as federal incentives, charging infrastructure maps, and buyer demographics—to optimize stocking decisions. This has helped dealerships pivot 40% of their inventory to EVs without excess holding costs, predicting demand with 90% precision amid market volatility. Integration with tools like Electrify America APIs ensures real-time availability checks. One client, transitioning from gas to hybrid lots, reduced EV overstock by 35% in the first year, capturing a larger share of eco-conscious buyers. Our scalable design adapts as EV adoption accelerates, keeping you ahead of the curve.
