The "Fragmented Workflow" Problem
Manual tracking of tire inventory, including tread depth and size-specific stock like 225/65R17 radials, leads to stockouts during peak winter seasons
Disconnected scheduling tools cause double-booked bays and frustrated customers
Inaccurate customer data from off-the-shelf CRMs results in missed tire rotation and wheel alignment reminders, especially for high-mileage fleets
Tedious invoicing for wheel services, such as balancing and TPMS recalibration, delays payments and cash flow for tire installations
Fragmented reporting on service metrics hinders quick decisions on tire promotions
Fragmented reporting on service metrics, like average tire repair times and seasonal alignment upsells, hinders quick decisions on tire promotions

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Industry-Leading Efficiency for Your Tire Shop
Precision Inventory Management
Precision Inventory Management: Our custom AI forecasts tire needs based on local weather patterns, historical sales of all-season vs. winter tires, and vehicle type trends, reducing overstock by 40% and preventing frantic rush orders for popular sizes like P215/60R16 that eat into margins. Shops report saving $15,000 annually on excess inventory while maintaining stock for peak demands like summer road trips.
Streamlined Customer Retention
Streamlined Customer Retention: Automated reminders for tire rotations, alignments, and pressure checks boost repeat visits by 35%, turning one-time tire buyers into loyal patrons with upsell opportunities on premium radials. Integrated with your CRM, it personalizes outreach based on vehicle VIN data without the generic feel of HubSpot templates.
Frictionless Service Scheduling
Frictionless Service Scheduling: Eliminate double-bookings with AI that optimizes bay usage for tire installations and syncs real-time with technician availability for wheel alignments, cutting no-show rates by 25% and enabling same-day service during busy oil change cross-sells. This flexible system adapts to your shop's unique flow, unlike rigid off-the-shelf schedulers.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried in spreadsheets for tracking tire counts on everything from light truck radials to passenger car all-seasons, and HubSpot emails that never quite fit our shop's vibe. Their custom system now auto-flags low stock on 235/55R18 radials during winter prep, and we've cut manual checks from 10 hours to under 2 per week. Revenue from timely restocks jumped 18% last season, especially with the early snowfalls."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Tire Pros
"Switching from Zapier integrations was a game-changer for our multi-bay operation. The AI they built handles our wheel service invoicing end-to-end, including tire supplier rebates on bulk Michelin orders, saving us about $8,000 in accounting fees over six months. No more subscription creep—we own it all, and it even flags upsell opportunities during brake jobs."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Apex Auto Tires
"Our old CRM missed half our tire rotation reminders for fleet accounts, leading to lost upsells on alignments. AIQ's tailored dashboard gives us real-time views on customer histories, including last service dates for specific axle sets, and we've seen a 22% uptick in service bookings since implementation three months ago. It's like having an extra mechanic for admin work during our busiest summer rush."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom system differ from HubSpot for tire shop marketing?
HubSpot excels at broad CRM features but falls short on tire-specific automations, like integrating with inventory for targeted rotation reminders. Our solution builds a unified AI platform that owns your data, automates personalized outreach based on vehicle profiles, and avoids monthly fees. For instance, we can predict when a customer's all-season tires need swapping using mileage data from your service logs, boosting retention by 30% without generic templates. This tailored approach ensures flexibility for your shop's workflow, from multi-bay scheduling to supplier syncs, all in one owned system that scales with your business.
What kind of integrations do you handle for tire inventory?
We specialize in deep integrations with automotive tools like your POS (e.g., Shop-Ware or Tekmetric) and tire supplier APIs from brands like Bridgestone. Unlike Zapier's superficial zaps that break under load, our custom AI creates robust, two-way connections for real-time stock updates and auto-reorders. Picture this: During a rainy season spike, the system flags low tread stock and places orders directly, cutting manual entry by 80%. We've helped shops reduce stockouts from 15% to under 2%, saving thousands in lost sales. Everything is built for your exact needs, ensuring no disruptions to daily operations.
How long does it take to build and deploy the system?
From initial consultation to full deployment, most tire shops see their custom system live in 6-8 weeks, depending on complexity. We start with a detailed audit of your current setup—service bays, inventory spreadsheets, customer databases—to blueprint the AI workflows. Development follows with iterative testing, like simulating peak-hour tire installs, to guarantee reliability. Post-launch, we provide two weeks of hands-on training and optimization. Clients often report immediate wins, such as 40% faster invoicing, within the first month. This efficient timeline gets you owning a powerful tool without the drawn-out onboarding of subscription platforms.
Will I own the system, or is there ongoing subscription cost?
Absolutely, you own the entire system outright—no monthly subscriptions, no vendor lock-in. Unlike HubSpot's escalating fees that can hit $1,000+ per month for advanced features, our one-time build delivers unlimited flexibility. You get full access to the source code, hosted on your preferred infrastructure, with optional maintenance plans starting at a fraction of SaaS costs. For tire shops, this means controlling custom features like seasonal promo automations forever, without paying rent. We've liberated clients from $20,000+ annual tool stacks, redirecting funds to hire more technicians or expand services.
Can this scale if my tire shop adds more locations?
Yes, our enterprise-grade architecture is designed for scalability, handling multi-location tire operations seamlessly. We build with modular frameworks that expand effortlessly—add a new shop, and the AI syncs inventory across sites, centralizes customer data, and optimizes fleet-wide scheduling. No need to repurchase or reconfigure like with off-the-shelf software. For example, a three-location chain we worked with integrated their systems to cut cross-site tire transfers by 50%, saving hours weekly. As your business grows, from single-bay startups to regional networks, the system adapts without downtime or extra costs.
How do you ensure the AI understands tire shop specifics?
Our team includes engineers with direct automotive experience, so we train the AI on industry data like tire wear patterns, DOT regulations, and shop workflows. We ingest your historical records—service logs, sales trends—to fine-tune models for accuracy. This goes beyond generic AI; for instance, it can differentiate between summer and winter tire needs based on local climate data, predicting demand with 92% precision. Security is baked in, complying with automotive data standards to protect customer vehicle info. Shops tell us this contextual intelligence feels like an extension of their team, reducing errors in everything from quoting to quality checks.
