What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Round-the-Clock Revenue Streams
Never Miss a High-Intent Lead
Never Miss a High-Intent Lead: Your AI agents answer every call instantly, qualifying buyers for that SUV upgrade or lease renewal with details on APR rates and down payments. Dealerships using our systems report capturing 40% more leads from after-hours calls, turning late-night inquiries into booked showrooms by morning, with 25% of those leading to closed deals within 48 hours.
Boost Customer Satisfaction Scores
Boost Customer Satisfaction Scores: Customers expect immediate responses, just like a well-tuned engine. Our agents provide polite, informed answers on vehicle specs like horsepower and torque for models such as the Toyota Camry or service wait times for alignments, reducing frustration and improving NPS by up to 25%. It's the reliability your buyers crave for their next drive.
Streamline Operations Without Added Headcount
Streamline Operations Without Added Headcount: Handle routine tasks like appointment confirmations for oil changes or warranty questions on certified pre-owned vehicles around the clock. This frees your team for high-value closes on new inventory, cutting response times from hours to seconds and increasing overall efficiency by 30% during peak seasons like end-of-month sales pushes.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd lose 20-30 leads a month to unanswered weekend calls about our used truck inventory, especially for heavy-duty pickups like the Ram 1500. Now, the voice agent books test drives on the spot, gathering details on trade-in values, and we've seen a 15% uptick in conversions just from Saturday inquiries over the past quarter. It's like having an extra salesperson who never sleeps."
Mike Reynolds
General Manager, Apex Chevrolet Dealership
"Our service department was swamped with after-hours breakdown calls going to voicemail, often for transmission issues on sedans. The custom AI agent we built with AIQ Labs handles triage, checks parts availability, and schedules tows instantly—last month alone, it managed 45 calls overnight from 10 PM to 6 AM, preventing a backlog that used to cost us days in lost revenue."
Sarah Patel
Service Director, Metro Ford Lincoln Dealership
"Integrating the voice agent with our CRM was seamless, and it's captured financing leads we never knew existed, especially from evening browsers interested in zero-percent financing on hybrids. Sales are up 12% year-over-year, with 30 new pre-approvals from after-hours calls in the last six months, and the best part? No more chasing missed messages the next day."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle peak call times at my dealership?
Our agents are built on scalable cloud infrastructure, managing up to 100 simultaneous calls without lag—think of it as adding lanes to your busiest highway. During events like Black Friday sales or end-of-month pushes, it prioritizes high-value inquiries, qualifies leads on the fly, and routes overflows to your team. Dealerships report no dropped calls, with 98% of interactions resolved instantly, keeping your pipeline flowing smoothly even when lines are jammed.
Can it integrate with my existing CRM like DealerSocket?
Absolutely. We specialize in two-way API integrations with platforms like DealerSocket, VinSolutions, or Auto/Mate. The agent pulls real-time data for accurate responses—say, confirming a specific trim's availability—and pushes qualified leads directly into your CRM with tags for follow-up. This eliminates manual entry, reducing errors by 90%. We've done this for dozens of dealerships, ensuring setup in under two weeks with zero disruption to your daily ops.
What if a customer has a complicated question, like trade-in valuation?
The AI is trained on your dealership's data and industry benchmarks to provide initial estimates, drawing from tools like Kelley Blue Book integrations for accurate appraisals. For deeper negotiations, it seamlessly transfers the call to your sales team with a full context summary—call history, preferences, even suggested offers. This handoff happens in seconds, boosting close rates by 25% as your reps start informed, not from scratch. It's designed to empower, not replace, your experts.
Is the voice agent compliant with automotive regulations?
Yes, we build in full compliance with TCPA, FDCPA, and state-specific auto sales rules. Scripts include opt-out options, clear disclosures for recordings, and secure handling of personal data. For financing queries, it avoids giving advice and escalates promptly. Our RecoverlyAI platform, used in regulated auto collections, proves this works—clients see zero compliance issues while maintaining a professional tone that builds trust with buyers.
How much does a custom AI voice agent cost for a mid-sized dealership?
Pricing starts at $5,000 for initial build and integration, with ongoing ownership at $500/month for maintenance and updates—far below the $10K+ annual cost of a part-time receptionist. ROI hits in 2-3 months via captured leads; one client recouped costs after booking 50 extra test drives in the first quarter. We tailor quotes based on your call volume and features, ensuring it's an efficiency booster, not a budget drain.
How quickly can we get this up and running?
From consultation to live deployment, it's typically 4-6 weeks. Week one: We map your workflows. Weeks two-three: Build and test with sample calls. Week four: Integrate and train on your data. Then, soft launch with monitoring. Unlike generic solutions that take months, our engineering-first approach gets you 24/7 coverage fast, so you can start capturing those after-hours opportunities without delay.
