What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our service bay scheduling was chaotic—techs idle waiting on manual RO approvals and parts lookups, with customers calling daily about delays. Their custom AI integrated with our Reynolds & Reynolds DMS, cutting appointment no-shows and errors by 70% in the first quarter. We're now saving 15 hours a week on admin, allowing techs to handle 20% more bays without overtime."
Mike Reynolds
Service Director, Riverside Auto Group
"We were buried in manual inventory updates from Ford and GM supplier feeds, cross-checking VINs and stock numbers every shift across our 200-vehicle lot. AIQ built a unified system that automates reconciliation with our CDK Global DMS, flagging discrepancies instantly. The sales team now has 25% more time for customer walk-ins and digital leads, helping us exceed quarterly new car sales targets by two months."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Horizon Dealerships
"Trade-in evaluations dragged on for days with endless emails to appraisers and back-and-forth with banks on lien payoffs. AIQ's workflow now automates initial Kelley Blue Book integrations and flags title issues in seconds, halving our process time from 48 hours to under 24. ROI hit after the first month—fewer deals lost to slow financing, boosting our used car volume by 15%."

What's Included
Common Questions
How does AI workflow automation specifically benefit car dealerships?
Car dealerships face unique pressures like volatile inventory levels and time-sensitive customer interactions. Our AI automates repetitive tasks such as VIN verification and lead routing, saving an average of 25 hours per week per team. For instance, instead of manual checks against supplier feeds, AI reconciles stock in real-time, reducing errors by 60% and preventing costly stockouts during peak seasons. This efficiency directly boosts your sales velocity and service throughput, with clients seeing ROI in 4-6 months through higher close rates and reduced labor costs. We tailor everything to your DMS setup, ensuring no disruption to your daily operations.
What makes your solutions custom-built for my dealership?
Unlike generic tools, we start with a deep audit of your workflows—mapping everything from lot management to post-sale follow-ups. Our engineers then code bespoke AI that integrates with your specific systems, like CDK or Reynolds, without relying on brittle APIs. This means automations for your exact challenges, such as prioritizing leads from walk-ins versus online inquiries. The result? A unified system you own, scalable for growth, delivering 40% efficiency gains tailored to your volume—whether you're a single-location dealer or multi-site operation. No templates; it's built for your business from the ground up.
How long does implementation take, and what's the ROI timeline?
Implementation typically spans 6-8 weeks, phased to minimize downtime: discovery in week 1, build and test in weeks 2-5, and rollout with training in weeks 6-8. For a mid-sized dealership, expect to save 15-30 hours weekly on admin tasks alone, translating to $10K+ monthly in productivity. Industry benchmarks from NADA show similar automations yield 3x ROI within six months, primarily through faster inventory turns and 20% higher conversion rates. We provide post-launch optimization to ensure sustained gains, with full ownership meaning no ongoing fees beyond maintenance.
Will this integrate with our existing Dealer Management System?
Absolutely—our core strength is seamless integration with popular DMS platforms like CDK Global, Reynolds & Reynolds, or Dealertrack. We create two-way data flows, so AI automations pull and push info effortlessly, like updating service histories or syncing financing approvals. No more manual exports or error-prone reconciliations. In past projects, this has cut integration time by 70% compared to off-the-shelf solutions, ensuring your team's workflow remains uninterrupted while adding AI smarts for tasks like predictive demand forecasting based on local market trends.
What kind of support do you provide after deployment?
Post-deployment, we offer comprehensive support including a dedicated account engineer for the first three months, bi-weekly check-ins, and 24/7 monitoring for any issues. Training sessions cover your entire team, from sales reps to service advisors, with custom guides tailored to dealership scenarios. We also build in self-optimizing features, like AI that learns from usage to refine automations over time. Clients report 95% uptime and ongoing improvements, such as tweaking lead scoring for seasonal sales pushes. This ensures your investment continues delivering value as your operations evolve.
Is the AI secure and compliant with automotive regulations?
Security is paramount in our builds—we use enterprise-grade encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based access to protect sensitive data like customer financing details. For automotive specifics, our systems adhere to regulations like TCPA for communications and FTC guidelines for trade-in disclosures. We've engineered solutions for regulated voice AI in collections, so handling dealership compliance—like automated recall notifications—is second nature. Regular audits and updates keep everything airtight, giving you peace of mind while focusing on driving revenue.
