What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose half our weekend calls to voicemail—that's easily 5-10 potential jobs like oil changes and tire rotations gone. Now, it books alignments and quotes frame pulls right away, and we've added $8K in monthly revenue without extra hires, especially during our busy summer rush."
Mike Reynolds
Shop Manager, Precision Auto Body
"Dealing with insurance rushes was a nightmare; agents couldn't grasp PDR specifics for door dings. Their custom AI gets it—handles adjuster calls at 2 AM on total loss evaluations and integrates with our Audatex estimating software. Cut our response time from 24 hours to under 5 minutes, and repeat business from fleet accounts jumped 22% in the last quarter."
Sarah Kline
Owner, Elite Collision Center
"We were skeptical about AI sounding natural for paint matching queries on custom colors, but this system nails it with accurate RAL code references. Last quarter, it captured 15 after-hours leads for rust repair and full panel replacements we would've missed, turning them into $25K in complete restores. It's like having a 24/7 front desk that actually understands I-CAR certified body work."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle technical auto body questions?
Our agents are custom-trained on industry-specific lingo, like distinguishing between PDR and traditional repairs or quoting for aluminum panels. We ingest your shop's data—estimates, parts lists, certifications—to provide accurate, context-aware responses. For instance, if a caller describes a rear-end collision, it can pull comparable past jobs and offer a ballpark without needing a tow truck yet. Complex cases seamlessly transfer to your team with a full summary, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. This isn't generic AI; it's built for the grit of body shop realities, reducing miscommunications that cost shops hours in callbacks.
What if the AI can't resolve a caller's issue?
We've designed intelligent handoffs that feel natural—no abrupt drops. The agent detects escalating frustration or technical depth, like debating OEM vs. aftermarket parts, and routes to the next available tech or owner. It passes along a concise transcript, key details like VIN numbers or damage photos if shared, so your team picks up right where the AI left off. In testing with similar shops, this cuts transfer times by 50%, keeping customers happy and bays productive. Plus, post-call analytics help us refine the agent, making handoffs rarer over time.
How quickly can we get this set up for our shop?
From initial consult to live deployment, most auto body shops are up and running in 4-6 weeks. We start with a deep dive into your workflows—your intake process, busy hours, common inquiries like bumper replacements. Then, our engineers build and integrate, testing against real scenarios like a hailstorm call surge. Unlike cookie-cutter solutions that take months to tweak, our custom approach ensures it's tailored and reliable from day one. We've accelerated setups for urgent needs, hitting under 3 weeks for shops in high-demand seasons.
Will this integrate with our existing shop management system?
Absolutely—integration is our core strength. We connect directly to platforms like Shop-Ware, Tekmetric, or QuickBooks for seamless data flow. For example, a call about a door ding updates your schedule and inventory in real-time, without manual entry. Our two-way APIs handle everything from pulling part availability to logging customer notes, creating that 'single source of truth' you need amid repair chaos. No more siloed systems; it's all unified, reducing errors that plague 40% of body shops according to industry reports.
What kind of support do you provide after launch?
Ongoing optimization is baked in—we monitor call performance weekly, tweaking scripts based on trends like increased queries for EV battery repairs. Monthly reports detail metrics: leads captured, bookings made, satisfaction scores. If volumes spike during accident seasons, we scale capacity instantly. Our dedicated automotive AI team offers 24/7 tech support, with quarterly reviews to align with your evolving needs, like new certifications. This ensures your investment keeps delivering, much like routine shop maintenance prevents bigger breakdowns down the line.
Is the AI voice agent compliant with auto industry regulations?
Yes, we prioritize compliance from the start, adhering to TCPA for calls and HIPAA where health-related injuries arise in collisions. Recordings are encrypted and accessible only to authorized staff, vital for insurance disputes. For body shops, this means secure handling of sensitive details like accident reports or liability waivers. We've deployed similar systems in regulated spaces, ensuring audits pass without a hitch—think of it as the undercoating that protects your operations from legal potholes.
