This enterprise-grade automation fits your exact needs—whether you're a single-bay operation or a multi-location chain—delivering enriched profiles that reveal repair potential, customer history, and urgency.

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency in Your Repair Pipeline
Precision Lead Prioritization
Precision Lead Prioritization: Enriched VIN data scores leads by estimated repair value—such as identifying a $5,000 aluminum frame straightening versus a $300 bumper dent. Collision shops report closing 28% more high-ticket frame and structural repairs, converting inbound inquiries into revenue streams without additional estimating staff.
Faster Turnaround on Estimates
Faster Turnaround on Estimates: Automate retrieval of VIN-decoded specs, mileage, and prior Carfax claims history, reducing quote preparation from 2-3 hours to 15 minutes. Benchmarks from the Collision Repair industry show 45% cycle time reduction, ensuring paint booths and alignment racks stay utilized while winning bids in competitive hail damage markets.
Reduced No-Shows and Cancellations
Reduced No-Shows and Cancellations: Verify customer contacts via SMS, email, and preferred channels like text for appointment reminders before booking. Auto body professionals achieve 32% lower no-show rates for PDR (paintless dent repair) and full collision jobs, stabilizing workflow and protecting the $200K+ annual spend on lifts, frame machines, and certified technicians.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd spend hours chasing insurance details and Carfax reports for every walk-in collision customer, losing nearly half our leads to incomplete VIN data. Now, enriched vehicle profiles integrate directly into our CRM—we secured three commercial fleet contracts in the first month, adding $45K in frame and suspension repairs without hiring more estimators."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Precision Collision Center, Denver, CO
"Hail season overwhelmed us with unverified leads lacking vehicle age, panel damage patterns, and prior claims. Their custom automation pulls this data via VIN lookup automatically. We've slashed follow-up calls by 60% for dent and hail repair jobs and closed 15% more contracts this year—it's like adding an extra I-CAR certified tech to the team."
Sarah Chen
Owner, Apex Auto Body, Chicago, IL
"Seamlessly integrated with our Shop-Ware management system. No more speculating on customer vehicle history or battery specs; we now prioritize EV high-voltage repairs using enriched data from OEM databases. Specialty EV revenue surged 25% in the first six months, and our technicians are thrilled with the quality leads flowing in."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle sensitive vehicle and customer data?
We prioritize security with enterprise-grade encryption and compliance to standards like SOC 2 and automotive-specific regs from NADA. Your enriched leads are processed through secure APIs, with access controls tailored to your shop's roles—estimators see repair details, while admins handle billing. Unlike generic tools, our custom builds include audit trails for every data touchpoint, ensuring you're protected during insurance audits. Shops we've partnered with report zero breaches in three years, even with high-volume data flows.
What sources does the system pull from for lead enrichment?
Our automation taps into verified automotive sources: DMV records for ownership history, insurance APIs like those from Verisk for claims data, and VIN databases from NHTSA for specs and recalls. We avoid public scrapers to ensure accuracy—think pulling exact mileage estimates or prior collision notes. For auto body shops, this means spotting frame damage risks before the customer arrives. Integration is custom, so it aligns with your workflow, delivering 95% complete profiles in under 30 seconds per lead.
Can this work with our existing shop management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep integrations with platforms like Shop-Ware, ProShop, or CCC One, creating bidirectional data flows without disrupting your operations. During discovery, we map your exact processes—say, syncing enriched leads directly to estimate templates. No more manual exports; everything updates in real-time. Body shops typically see setup in 4-6 weeks, with immediate gains in lead-to-job conversions. If your software evolves, our system adapts, keeping you ahead of industry shifts like digital inspections.
How much time does implementation take for a mid-sized shop?
For a shop with 10-20 bays handling 200 leads monthly, we complete the build in 6-8 weeks: two for discovery and design, three for coding and testing, and one for rollout with your team. It's phased to minimize downtime—start with core enrichment, then add scoring. Post-launch, we provide hands-on training and a 30-day optimization period. Clients often recoup costs in 2-3 months through higher close rates, with one shop reporting 18% revenue lift from better fleet lead targeting alone.
What if our lead volume fluctuates with seasons?
Our systems are built scalable, using cloud architecture to handle spikes—like doubling intake during winter collisions—without performance dips. We design for your patterns: auto body shops see predictable surges, so we preload capacity and include auto-scaling rules. Monitoring dashboards track usage, alerting us to optimize. Unlike fixed-subscription tools, this grows with you; a client in hail-prone areas scaled from 50 to 500 daily leads seamlessly, maintaining 98% uptime and enriching every one accurately.
How do you measure success for our shop's investment?
We tie metrics to your goals: track lead enrichment completeness (aiming for 90%+), conversion rates to booked repairs (target 35% improvement), and ROI via average order value uplift. Dashboards show specifics, like enriched leads yielding $3,500 jobs versus $1,200 unenriched. Quarterly reviews adjust based on your data—did insurance pulls speed approvals? We've helped shops document 25-40% efficiency gains, proving value beyond vague benchmarks. Your success is bays full and profits up, period.
