Why Choose Us
Imagine your tire shop's schedule as a finely tuned engine—no more sputtering from missed appointments or clogged lines. At AIQ Labs, we craft bespoke AI-powered appointment systems tailored to your exact workflow, from handling seasonal tire rushes to integrating with your POS for real-time bay availability. Unlike off-the-shelf tools that force-fit your operations, our solution learns your patterns: peak hours for alignments, slow slots for upsells on tire packages. We replace fragmented calendars with a unified dashboard that syncs customer texts, voice bookings, and even fleet service alerts. This isn't just software; it's a production-ready system you own, delivering measurable ROI through reduced downtime and maximized bay utilization.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Gains Tailored to Your Shop
Slash Weekly Scheduling Time by 15 Hours
Slash Weekly Scheduling Time by 15 Hours: Your front desk team spends hours juggling calls for tire rotations and alignments amid rush-hour traffic. Our AI handles inbound requests 24/7, auto-suggesting slots based on lift and bay availability, service urgency, and tire stock levels. Shops report a 75% drop in manual bookings, freeing staff for in-depth customer consultations and boosting upsell opportunities on premium all-season tires like Michelin CrossClimate.
Achieve 25% ROI in First Quarter Through Fewer No-Shows
Achieve 25% ROI in First Quarter Through Fewer No-Shows: No-shows during peak winter tire changes can cost thousands in lost revenue from idle wheel balancers. Our system deploys predictive SMS reminders and waitlist management, filling gaps instantly with walk-ins needing emergency flats. One mid-sized dealership saw a 35% increase in filled slots within 90 days, translating to $12K extra monthly from optimized tire installs, alignments, and bundled brake services.
Boost Productivity with Real-Time Workflow Sync
Boost Productivity with Real-Time Workflow Sync: Manual entries lead to errors, like booking a full bay for tire balancing during a critical tire supplier delivery window. We build two-way integrations with your POS and inventory systems that update your schedule dynamically, ensuring seamless coordination between service bays and parts arrivals. This results in 20% higher throughput, with techs spending less time waiting on delayed shipments and more on high-efficiency tasks like 4-wheel alignments and TPMS recalibrations.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our two-person front office was buried under calls for all-season to winter tire swaps every rainy or snowy day, pulling techs off alignments mid-job. Now, the AI books 70% of appointments automatically via text, and we've cut no-shows from 15 a week to under 3. It's like adding an extra alignment bay without the overhead—revenue's up 18% since install, especially from upselling tire pressure monitoring systems."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Tire Pros
"We handle fleet tire services for local delivery companies, and double-bookings were killing us during rush season when everyone needs retreads. AIQ's system syncs with our tire supplier alerts and predicts busy slots based on weather forecasts perfectly. In the first two months, we saved 12 hours a week on rescheduling, reduced bay downtime by 25%, and our techs are actually getting home on time now without overtime for emergency tire mounts."
Sarah Lopez
Service Manager, FleetTire Solutions
"As a small independent shop, we couldn't afford fancy software that didn't fit our walk-in vibe for quick oil changes and tire rotations. AIQ built something custom that texts confirmations right after a customer mentions 'need new all-terrain tires for the truck.' No-shows dropped 40% in the first quarter, and we're booking more warranty rotations and free air checks without extra staff, keeping our bays turning over faster."

General Manager, QuickTire Auto

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle peak seasons like winter tire changes?
Our AI system is designed with automotive seasonality in mind. It analyzes historical data from your shop—such as past snow tire installation spikes—and dynamically adjusts slot availability. For instance, during forecasted bad weather, it prioritizes urgent bookings and sends proactive outreach to loyal customers for preemptive scheduling. We've seen shops increase throughput by 25% in Q4 without adding staff, as the system auto-fills gaps and balances walk-ins with appointments. Integration with weather APIs ensures you're always one step ahead, much like predictive maintenance on a vehicle dashboard.
Will this integrate with my existing tire shop software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with common automotive tools like your POS (e.g., Shop-Ware or Mitchell 1), inventory systems for tire stock levels, and even CRM for customer histories. No superficial connections that break—our engineers build robust APIs tailored to your setup. For a recent tire shop client, we synced appointment data directly to their system, auto-updating bay status and preventing double-books on wheel alignments. This creates a seamless flow, reducing manual entries by 80% and ensuring real-time accuracy across your operations.
What kind of ROI can a tire shop expect from this?
Tire shops typically see a 20-30% ROI in the first three months, driven by time savings and revenue recovery. Manual scheduling costs you 15-20 hours weekly at $25/hour— that's $1,500+ monthly in labor alone. Our system cuts that dramatically, while reducing no-shows (which average 20% in the industry) boosts filled slots and upsells like tire rotations. One client recovered $15K in Q1 from optimized bookings during fleet service season. We provide custom ROI projections during consultation, based on your shop's volume and benchmarks from similar automotive operations.
Is the system secure for handling customer data in appointments?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where you're dealing with warranty details and fleet info. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, GDPR/CCPA compliance, and role-based access—ensuring only authorized staff see sensitive data like vehicle VINs tied to tire services. Unlike cloud-only tools, our owned systems let you host on-premise if needed. For a chain of tire centers we worked with, this setup passed their strict audits, preventing breaches that could expose customer histories. Regular updates and monitoring keep it robust against threats.
How customizable is this for a small tire shop versus a larger one?
Fully customizable to your scale—whether you're a single-bay independent or a multi-location operation. For small shops, we focus on simple voice AI for walk-in bookings and basic reminders to cut phone time. Larger ones get advanced features like fleet prioritization and cross-location syncing. A two-bay shop we automated saw 12 hours saved weekly on routine tire installs, while a regional chain optimized 50+ bays for 40% efficiency gains. We start with your workflow audit to build exactly what fits, ensuring no overkill or under-delivery.
What happens if a customer needs to reschedule a tire service?
Rescheduling is effortless and automated. Customers get a self-service link via text or email to pick new slots based on real-time bay availability, with AI suggesting alternatives to minimize disruptions—like shifting a tire balance to an open afternoon window. If they call, the voice agent handles it instantly, updating your calendar and notifying techs. This reduces your involvement to zero in 70% of cases, per our deployments. For one shop, it cut reschedule calls by 60%, allowing focus on high-value tasks like diagnosing uneven tire wear.
