What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our three-location detailing shop in the Midwest was drowning in manual bookings—customers waited weeks for graphene coating slots, and we turned away 20% of inquiries for full interior rejuvenations. Their custom AI platform automated everything from slotting in PPF installations to tracking clay bar and APC stock. In six months, we've doubled our throughput without hiring extras, and repeat business jumped from 60% to 85% on exotics and daily drivers alike. It's like having an extra detailer who never sleeps."
Marcus Hale
Owner, Precision Auto Shine – Multi-Location Detailing Network with 15 Bays
"Scaling mobile detailing during summer heatwaves was chaos—routes overlapped on highways, and supplies like iron fallout removers ran dry mid-job on truck fleets. The AI system they built optimizes our fleet paths with GPS integration and predicts needs based on client vehicle types, from sedans to RVs. Last quarter, we cut fuel costs by 22% and finished 15 more jobs per week, including remote wheel acid dips. No more frantic calls to suppliers; it's streamlined our entire operation for nationwide expansion."
Elena Vargas
Operations Manager, Mobile Gleam Pros – 20-Vehicle Mobile Detailing Fleet
"We specialize in high-end ceramic coatings for sports cars, but tracking client histories manually via paper logs was a nightmare for recommending follow-up quartz-infused topcoats. AIQ's platform now pulls VIN-linked past service data to suggest upsells like hydrophobic glass treatments during annual inspections. Implementation took just three weeks, and our average ticket value rose 28% as customers returned for tailored maintenance on their performance vehicles. Finally, tech that understands detailing specifics like SiO2 durability."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI platform handle seasonal spikes in detailing demand?
Our custom AI anticipates surges by analyzing historical data, weather patterns, and local events—like spring allergy seasons driving interior cleans. It dynamically reallocates resources, such as prioritizing mobile teams for high-volume areas, ensuring you maintain 95% on-time delivery. For instance, one client scaled from 50 to 150 weekly jobs during summer without adding bays, thanks to predictive slotting that factors in job durations for tasks like full engine bay detailing. This enterprise-ready design eliminates bottlenecks, letting you capture every opportunity without chaos. Integration with your calendar tools keeps everything synchronized, and we provide ongoing tweaks to adapt to your unique cycles.
What makes this different from off-the-shelf scheduling apps for auto services?
Unlike generic apps limited to basic bookings, our platform is built ground-up for detailing specifics, incorporating AI for quality-linked scheduling—e.g., reserving slots for longer ceramic applications based on vehicle type. It scales infinitely without performance dips, handling 1,000+ jobs monthly across sites, where off-the-shelf tools often cap at 200 and require pricey upgrades. We've seen clients ditch multiple subscriptions, saving $15K annually, while gaining ownership of a system that evolves with their business. No brittle integrations; everything's custom-coded for seamless data flow, from inventory alerts during polishes to automated client reminders, delivering true efficiency in a results-driven industry.
Can the platform integrate with my existing detailing management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way API integrations with tools like Mitchell1 or AutoFluent, pulling in vehicle specs and job histories to enhance AI predictions. For example, it syncs detailing notes to avoid repeating full interior shampoos on repeat visits. Setup involves a one-time mapping of your data fields, ensuring zero manual entry—our team handles it in under two weeks. This creates a unified ecosystem that scales with growth, preventing the silos that plague 60% of multi-service shops. Post-integration, real-time updates mean your inventory adjusts automatically after a clay bar job, keeping operations lean and error-free.
How secure is the customer data in this AI system for detailing records?
Security is paramount in automotive services handling sensitive vehicle and owner info. Our platform uses enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) and complies with GDPR/CCPA, with role-based access so only authorized techs see detailing histories. We've audited against detailing-specific risks, like protecting VIN-linked photos from post-service inspections. Clients report zero breaches in three years, thanks to automated backups and anomaly detection that flags unusual access. As you scale, the system adapts with multi-factor auth for remote teams, ensuring trust while enabling features like personalized recall campaigns for wax reapplications—safely and scalably.
What kind of ROI can a mid-sized detailing business expect?
Based on benchmarks from our automotive clients, expect 3-5x ROI within the first year through reduced labor (25% less time on admin) and higher throughput (up to 40% more jobs). For a shop doing 200 vehicles monthly at $150 average, that's an extra $36K revenue from efficiency gains alone, minus our one-time build cost. Long-term, scalability means no added expenses as you expand—unlike subscriptions that balloon with users. One detailer hit 200% growth in 18 months by automating follow-ups, turning one-off polishes into recurring packages. We track these metrics via your dashboard, optimizing for your exact KPIs like bay utilization rates.
How long does it take to implement the custom AI platform?
From consultation to live deployment, it's typically 6-8 weeks for a standard detailing setup, depending on integration complexity. We start with a two-week discovery to blueprint your needs, like custom AI for odor removal job forecasting, then build and test in parallel. Phased rollout minimizes disruption—e.g., scheduling AI goes live first while inventory syncs behind. Our track record shows 100% on-time delivery, with full team training included. Post-launch, we monitor for two weeks to iron out any tweaks, ensuring your ops hit peak efficiency as you scale from local to regional dominance.
