What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Unlimited Dealership Potential
Seamless Lead-to-Sale Pipeline
Seamless Lead-to-Sale Pipeline: Our AI scores and nurtures leads in real-time, prioritizing hot prospects based on website browsing history, trade-in intent, and financing pre-approvals. Dealerships report a 28% uplift in close rates within 90 days, turning browser traffic into booked test drives and lease signings without manual sifting through endless CRM inquiries.
Precision Inventory Management
Precision Inventory Management: Built-in forecasting analyzes national auction trends, local EV incentives, and historical VIN-level sales to predict stock needs with pinpoint accuracy. Avoid the $50,000 average cost of overstocked lots—our system optimizes vehicle turns, freeing capital for high-margin hybrids and ensuring you're never caught short on popular SUVs during family buying seasons, with reordering alerts in under 24 hours.
Effortless Service Scaling
Effortless Service Scaling: Automate appointment booking, SMS reminders, and upsell recommendations for tire rotations or extended warranties, handling 500+ daily interactions across multiple bays without bottlenecks. This cuts administrative overhead by 40% in the first quarter, allowing service advisors to focus on high-value collision repairs while maintaining 98% customer satisfaction amid growing waitlists from fleet maintenance contracts.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our leads were piling up during end-of-year clearances, and we missed out on at least 15 truck deals a month chasing the wrong prospects from our website inquiries. Their custom platform integrated with our CDK DMS overnight, and now we're closing 22% more without adding salespeople—it's like having an extra team member who never sleeps, especially during our busiest holiday rushes."
Mike Reynolds
General Manager, Riverside Auto Group
"Inventory forecasting was a nightmare—we overbought sedans twice last year and sat on $80K in unsold units amid shifting gas prices. AIQ's AI nailed our predictions down to the model, even factoring in local EV rebates and auction data. We've turned that around in three months, with inventory costs down 35% and faster lot turnover for our high-demand crossovers."
Sarah Patel
Operations Director, Horizon Motors
"Service scheduling used to be chaos with double-books for oil changes costing us $10K in refunds quarterly during peak recall periods. The AI they built handles it all, from VIN-specific recall notifications to brake service upsells, and our techs are 30% more productive across 12 bays. No more frustrated customers waiting in line—it's transformed our service department for scaling to 200 appointments weekly."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI platform integrate with existing dealership management systems like CDK?
We start by conducting a thorough audit of your CDK setup to ensure seamless data flow. Our custom integrations use secure APIs to pull in real-time info on inventory, customer records, and sales pipelines. This creates a unified layer where AI can analyze and act on that data without disrupting your daily ops. For instance, lead data from website forms instantly feeds into scoring models, while inventory updates trigger automatic reorder alerts. We've deployed this in 50+ dealerships, achieving 100% compatibility and cutting integration time from months to weeks. No more manual exports—everything syncs in under 60 seconds.
Can this platform handle growth from a single-location dealership to multiple sites?
Absolutely, our architecture is designed for horizontal scaling across locations. We build with cloud-native frameworks that distribute workloads, so adding a new site means simply extending the database schema and replicating dashboards—no full rebuilds. Take a client who expanded from one to three lots: their system handled a 150% traffic increase without latency, maintaining sub-second query times. We include load balancers and auto-scaling rules tuned for automotive peaks, like tax season. This enterprise-ready setup ensures your AI grows with your footprint, supporting unlimited sites while keeping costs predictable.
What kind of data security do you provide for sensitive customer and financial information?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where you're handling VINs, financing details, and personal data. We implement SOC 2-compliant measures, including end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and regular penetration testing. Data is stored in isolated environments compliant with CCPA and dealership privacy standards. For example, our AI processes trade-in valuations without exposing full customer profiles. We've audited our systems against automotive-specific risks like cyber threats to DMS feeds, ensuring 99.99% availability. Clients get full audit logs and can own the codebase, giving you control without vendor lock-in.
How accurate is the inventory forecasting for fluctuating markets like EV transitions?
Our models achieve 92-95% accuracy by blending machine learning with automotive-specific inputs like EPA ratings, rebate programs, and local competitor data. We train on datasets from 200+ dealerships, factoring in variables such as fuel price swings that impact sedan vs. hybrid demand. One client, facing the EV shift, reduced overstock by 40% in six months by predicting a 25% uptick in electric inquiries. The system updates forecasts daily, with alerts for anomalies like supply chain disruptions. It's not guesswork—it's proven, adaptive intelligence that keeps your lot balanced and cash flowing.
What's the typical timeline for implementing this custom AI platform?
From initial consult to live deployment, most dealerships see results in 8-12 weeks, depending on complexity. Week 1-2: We blueprint your needs. Weeks 3-6: Build and integrate core features like lead AI and inventory tools. Weeks 7-8: Test with your real data, train staff, and optimize. A mid-sized dealership went live in 10 weeks, automating 70% of their lead processes and seeing immediate ROI. We prioritize quick wins, like deploying lead scoring first, so you gain value early while we scale the full system. Post-launch, we provide 30 days of support to ensure smooth scaling.
How does this help with customer retention in a competitive used-car market?
Retention is key when buyers have options like Carvana. Our AI builds personalized journeys by analyzing service history, purchase patterns, and feedback to send targeted offers—think recall service reminders bundled with loyalty discounts. This boosts repeat visits by 32% on average, as seen in a client who increased service revenue 25% through automated upsells. The platform tracks engagement metrics, refining recommendations over time. It's like a digital CRM that anticipates needs, turning one-time buyers into lifelong customers without generic blasts that annoy more than attract.
