Why Choose Us
We craft a custom Business Operating System tailored to auto body realities—like fluctuating repair volumes and tight deadlines. Unlike off-the-shelf tools that crumble under growth, our solution integrates your shop management software, parts suppliers, and customer portals into one robust platform. AI handles predictive scheduling for dent repairs or full frame jobs, ensuring no bay sits idle. As your shop expands to handle more collision work, the system scales effortlessly, preventing bottlenecks that plague 70% of growing shops according to industry benchmarks.
What Makes Us Different:
Scale Without Limits: Proven Benefits for Your Shop
Unlimited Growth Potential
Unlimited Growth Potential: Our enterprise architecture handles everything from single-bay startups to multi-location chains specializing in fleet maintenance. Shops using our system report 40% faster scaling, moving from 10 to 30 daily jobs like tire rotations and alignments without hiring extra admins—imagine your revenue doubling as bays multiply, all without the chaos of piecing together apps for VIN lookups and parts catalogs.
Efficiency That Drives Results
Efficiency That Drives Results: Reduce downtime by 35% with AI-optimized workflows for body shop tasks. For instance, automated parts ordering for OEM headlights syncs with repair schedules, slashing wait times for headlight installations from days to hours during evening rush repairs. This isn't just speed; it's reclaiming hours for high-value collision work like frame straightening, boosting your shop's throughput to industry-leading levels with up to 20% more billable hours per tech.
No Bottlenecks in Peak Seasons
No Bottlenecks in Peak Seasons: Built to absorb growth spikes, like post-storm repair rushes for hail-damaged vehicles where volumes jump 200%. Our system predicts and allocates resources for tasks like paintless dent repair, ensuring techs focus on alignments and paint prep, not paperwork—delivering 25% higher customer retention as jobs complete faster and more reliably, with average turnaround dropping from 5 days to 2 days.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our shop was buried in manual estimates for frame damage assessments—jobs backed up for 2-3 days. Now, the system auto-pulls VIN-specific vehicle data and generates quotes in under 10 minutes. We've added two bays this year and handled 25% more collision repairs without missing a beat. It's like having an extra foreman who never sleeps, keeping our I-CAR certified techs productive."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Precision Auto Body
"Scaling our inventory for OEM bumpers and fenders was a nightmare; we'd overstock primers and run out right when handling a fleet of delivery vans. After implementing their OS, AI-driven forecasts are spot-on, cutting excess inventory by 40% and saving us $15K last quarter on sheet metal supplies. The integration with our supplier API for real-time pricing is seamless—no more emergency runs to the parts house."
Sarah Lopez
Operations Manager, Elite Collision Center
"We were losing repeat customers because follow-ups for warranty alignments fell through the cracks between QuickBooks and our CRM. This unified system tracks everything from initial dent quotes to post-repair ADAS recalibration reminders, and our satisfaction scores jumped from 7.2 to 9.1 in six months. Growth feels effortless now, with 15% more booked services month-over-month."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this system handle seasonal spikes in auto body work?
Our AI Operating System is designed for the unpredictable nature of auto body shops, where hail seasons or accident surges can double workloads overnight. We build in predictive analytics that analyze historical data, weather patterns, and local traffic trends to forecast demand—allocating bays and techs proactively. For example, if a storm hits, the system ramps up parts orders and shifts schedules automatically, preventing backlogs. Shops we've partnered with report 45% less overtime during peaks, maintaining efficiency without burnout. It's enterprise-grade, scaling from 5 to 50 jobs daily without hiccups, all while integrating with your existing tools like Audatex for seamless claims processing.
Will this replace my current shop management software?
No, we don't replace robust tools like Shop-Ware or Reynolds ERA; instead, we unify them into a single, intelligent layer. Our custom integrations create two-way data flow—pulling repair orders from your management system and pushing updates back in real-time. This eliminates double-entry errors that plague 70% of shops, per industry surveys. For auto body specifics, it syncs estimate details with parts catalogs, ensuring accurate billing for everything from panel beating to clear coat applications. The result? A cohesive ecosystem where your legacy software powers core functions, enhanced by AI for scalability and insights, giving you full ownership without vendor lock-in.
What kind of scalability does it offer for expanding shops?
Scalability is at the core—our architecture supports growth from solo operations to multi-site chains without performance dips. As you add bays or locations, the system distributes workloads via cloud-based AI, handling increased data volumes like detailed damage assessments effortlessly. Benchmarks show our clients scale repair throughput by 50% in the first year, with no additional infrastructure costs. Think of it like upgrading from a standard transmission to an automatic: it shifts gears smoothly as your shop accelerates, integrating new features like remote monitoring for satellite locations. We've seen shops go from 15 daily jobs to 40, maintaining 98% uptime during expansions.
How secure is the system for sensitive customer and repair data?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where you're handling VINs, insurance details, and personal info. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with GDPR and auto industry standards like those from the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers. Data is stored in fortified AWS environments with role-based access—only authorized techs see repair specifics, while managers view aggregated KPIs. Regular audits and AI anomaly detection prevent breaches, a step beyond basic tools. In one deployment, this setup protected a shop during a phishing attempt, saving potential $50K in liabilities. Your system's code is owned by you, so no third-party risks from subscription services.
Can it integrate with insurance company portals?
Absolutely—deep integrations with portals like those from Progressive or State Farm are a specialty. Our AI automates claim submissions, pulling repair estimates and attaching photos of damage directly, cutting approval times from days to hours. This addresses a top pain point: 65% of shops cite insurance delays as a growth barrier, per BodyShop Business reports. The system uses OCR to scan invoices and match them to claims, ensuring accuracy for complex jobs like airbag deployments. We've streamlined this for clients, boosting cash flow by 30% through faster reimbursements, all while maintaining audit trails for disputes.
What's the timeline for implementation in a typical auto body shop?
For most shops with 10-20 bays, we deliver a fully operational system in 8-12 weeks, starting with a quick audit of your workflows. Week 1-2: map integrations for estimating and inventory. Weeks 3-6: build and test core AI features, like auto-scheduling for weld jobs. Final weeks: deploy, train staff on the intuitive dashboard, and optimize based on your first repair cycles. This phased approach minimizes disruption—many shops see quick wins in estimating within the first month. Post-launch, we provide 3 months of tuning to hit peak efficiency, ensuring it scales as your volume grows without delays.
