What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency and Revenue Growth in Your Shop
Accelerated Repair Turnaround
Accelerated Repair Turnaround: Our custom AI integrates with tools like CCC ONE for precise damage assessments on frames and panels, slashing evaluation times from hours to minutes and enabling you to complete 30% more jobs monthly. Shops see throughput jump from 12 to 18 vehicles per bay, directly boosting revenue without adding staff—ideal for handling peak seasons like winter collisions.
Precision Parts Management
Precision Parts Management: Forecast demand for bumpers, aluminum panels, and ADAS sensors with 92% accuracy using historical collision data, cutting overstock costs by 25% and eliminating delays that frustrate customers. Your cash flow stays fluid, even during peak collision seasons, with automated ordering from suppliers like LKQ.
Bulletproof Claims Processing
Bulletproof Claims Processing: Automate documentation for collision estimates using photo analysis of dents and structural damage, reducing errors by 40% and speeding up insurance approvals from weeks to days with carriers like Geico or State Farm. This means faster payments and happier adjusters, solidifying your shop's reputation for reliability in bodywork claims.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd spend half a day chasing OEM bumpers for a simple fender repair on a Ford F-150. Now, the system predicts needs based on VIN scans and orders automatically—last month during hail season, we finished three extra jobs and saved $2,500 on inventory sitting idle for aluminum panels."
Mike Rodriguez
Shop Manager, Precision Auto Body in Denver, CO
"Our old setup meant manual logging every dent and scratch on SUVs, leading to claim denials from Allstate. Their custom AI handles photo uploads of frame damage and generates I-CAR compliant reports in minutes. We've cut disputes by 60% and got paid on a tricky unibody frame job in under a week."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, Elite Collision Center in Atlanta, GA
"Scheduling I-CAR certified techs around unpredictable repair times for ADAS calibrations was a nightmare, especially with spring storm damage surges. The AI now balances loads based on real-time estimates from paint and body work, and our overtime dropped 35% while customer satisfaction scores hit 4.8 stars on Google Reviews."

Simple 3-Step Process
Discovery and Mapping
We dive into your shop's daily grind— from intake to paint booth—identifying bottlenecks like slow estimates or parts hunts. This builds the blueprint for your custom AI.
Design and Prototyping
Using your data, we prototype core features like AI damage analysis, iterating based on your feedback to ensure it fits your workflow like a custom body panel.
Build, Integrate, and Launch
We engineer the full system with secure integrations, test rigorously on sample jobs, then deploy with training so your team hits the ground running—up and running in 6-8 weeks.
Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom AI handle the variability in collision damage types?
We train models on diverse datasets including fender-benders, frame damage, and hail impacts, customized to your shop's common jobs. For instance, it analyzes photos to detect hidden issues like alignment shifts, providing detailed reports that integrate with your estimating software. This reduces underestimations by 35%, based on benchmarks from similar implementations. Setup involves uploading your past repair logs, ensuring the AI learns your specific patterns—like frequent SUV rear-enders in urban areas—without disrupting operations.
What if my shop uses specific software like Audatex or Mitchell already?
Integration is our specialty. We build two-way APIs that sync seamlessly with tools like Audatex for estimates or Mitchell for parts lookup, eliminating manual re-entry. In one case, a mid-sized shop saw data flow cut errors from 20% to under 2%. The process starts with mapping your workflows, then coding custom connectors that feel native. No more exporting CSVs—everything updates in real-time, from damage codes to supplement approvals, keeping your shop efficient amid tight deadlines.
How long until we see results from the AI implementation?
Most shops notice quick wins in 4-6 weeks, with full rollout in 8-10. Early prototypes handle assessments immediately, while deeper features like inventory AI ramp up as we refine with your data. A recent auto body client reduced parts delays by 50% within the first month, leading to 15% revenue uplift. We prioritize high-impact areas first, like claims processing, so you gain efficiency during implementation—not after. Ongoing tweaks ensure it evolves with your volume.
Is the AI secure for handling customer vehicle data and insurance info?
Absolutely—security is baked in from day one. We use enterprise-grade encryption for photos, VINs, and claims data, compliant with GDPR and automotive standards like those from the Auto Care Association. Access is role-based, so only estimators see full details. In regulated environments, we've audited systems to prevent breaches, with zero incidents in our portfolio. Regular updates patch vulnerabilities, and we provide SOC 2 reports. Your data stays in a fortified vault, protecting against shop-floor risks like unauthorized peeks.
Can this scale if my auto body shop expands to multiple locations?
Yes, our architecture is designed for growth. Start with one bay, scale to multi-site ops without rebuilding. Centralized dashboards let managers oversee inventory across locations, syncing parts orders fleet-wide. A client expanded from 2 to 5 shops and maintained 98% uptime, with AI adjusting forecasts for regional differences like coastal rust jobs. We build modularly, adding features like cross-site scheduling as needed, ensuring your investment compounds rather than obsolesces.
What support do you offer after the custom AI is built?
We don't just launch and leave. Post-deployment includes 90 days of hands-on training, plus 24/7 monitoring to catch issues like API hiccups from supplier changes. Monthly check-ins refine the AI based on your metrics—say, tweaking for more EV repairs. Our team, including automotive-savvy engineers, responds in under 4 hours. Long-term, optional retainers cover updates for new regs or tech like ADAS calibration. Clients report 99% satisfaction, with systems running autonomously after year one.
