Tailored AI Workflows: Ditching Jobber for a System Built Precisely for Your Auto Body Operations
With over a decade engineering solutions for efficiency-focused industries like automotive, we've empowered shops to transcend off-the-shelf constraints, achieving industry-leading uptime and scalability.
Why Choose Us
Generic platforms like Jobber force auto body shops into a box, ignoring the chaos of dent pulls, frame alignments, and custom paint jobs. We craft custom AI-powered systems from the ground up, integrating your CRM, inventory trackers, and shop management tools into a unified engine. No more wrestling with one-size-fits-all features. Our approach starts with mapping your exact workflow— from intake photos to final quality checks—ensuring every automation fits like a perfectly aligned chassis. This isn't assembly; it's precision engineering for your shop's reality, delivering flexible, owned tech that scales with your growth.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Gains: The Proven Impact of Owning Your Custom System
Accelerated Job Throughput Without the Hassle
Shops using our custom systems report 35% faster turnaround on collision repairs, as AI automates scheduling around technician specialties in frame pulling and dent removal, plus parts delays from suppliers like LKQ. No more generic calendars clashing with your bay realities—everything aligns to boost your daily output and customer satisfaction, reducing vehicle downtime from 7 days to 4.5 days on average.
Precision Parts Management That Prevents Costly Downtime
By building AI models tuned to your supplier networks and repair patterns for fenders, bumpers, and radiators, we cut overstock by 25% and eliminate rush orders that inflate costs by up to 40%. Imagine forecasting frame parts needs before a busy hail season hits—your cash flow stays steady, and bays never sit idle, saving an average of $2,500 per month in inventory holding costs.
Seamless Insurance and Billing Integration for Faster Payments
Our solutions automate claims submission and estimate syncing with providers like Geico and State Farm, reducing approval times from weeks to days for aluminum panel repairs. With 92% accuracy in AI-generated supplements for hidden damages like subframe cracks, you collect payments quicker, minimizing disputes and improving your shop's financial health by accelerating receivables by 22 days.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, Jobber's setup was killing us during peak hail season—we'd lose half a day just syncing repair notes for frame straightening with parts orders from multiple OEM suppliers. Their custom system integrated our bay trackers and suppliers overnight. Now, we're handling 20% more jobs without adding staff, and estimates for custom paint matching are spot-on every time, cutting our average job time from 6 to 4 days."
Mike Reynolds
Shop Manager, Precision Auto Body
"I was skeptical about ditching subscriptions, but after three months with their built system, billing errors for insurance claims on rear-end collisions dropped to zero. It pulls data directly from Allstate and flags upcharges for custom rocker panel work automatically. Saved us $8K last quarter on admin alone—game-changer for a small shop like ours handling 50 vehicles a month."
Sarah Lopez
Owner, Elite Collision Repair
"Our techs used to chase status updates manually on suspension alignments, delaying customer pickups by up to a week. AIQ's AI now texts owners progress photos tied to job phases like wheel balancing. Turnaround improved by 15 days on average for fleet repairs, and reviews are through the roof. No more vendor fees eating into margins on our high-volume contracts."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom system handle the variability in auto body repair jobs compared to Jobber?
Jobber's templates often fail with non-standard jobs like vintage restorations or electric vehicle conversions, leading to manual overrides that eat time. Our AIQ Labs solution uses machine learning to adapt to your shop's historical data, generating dynamic estimates and schedules. For instance, it factors in unique variables like paint matching for custom colors or extended drying times for high-end finishes. We've seen shops reduce adjustment time by 50%, with full ownership ensuring you tweak the logic as your services evolve—no waiting on vendor updates.
What makes your pricing different from Jobber's subscription model?
Unlike Jobber's recurring fees that can exceed $200 monthly and limit features, we deliver a one-time build for complete ownership. Costs start around $15,000 for a core workflow system, scaling based on integrations like parts APIs or AI forecasting. This eliminates ongoing subscriptions, with ROI hitting within 4-6 months through efficiency gains—shops report saving $500+ monthly on admin. You own the code, hosted on your infrastructure, with optional maintenance at a fraction of SaaS costs, giving unlimited flexibility without lock-in.
Can your system integrate with our existing tools like QuickBooks or shop management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations that create a single source of truth. For auto body shops, this means syncing QuickBooks for invoicing with your estimating software for seamless billing of labor and parts. We've connected systems like CCC One for claims and custom CRMs for customer histories, automating data entry that typically takes 10 hours weekly. Our approach uses robust APIs, tested for reliability during peak seasons, ensuring no disruptions to your operations and full data portability if you ever switch tools.
How long does it take to build and deploy a custom system for our shop?
From initial consultation to launch, most auto body implementations take 8-12 weeks, depending on complexity. We start with a 2-week discovery to map your workflows, like bay assignments and insurance flows, then 4-6 weeks for development and testing. The final 2 weeks cover training and go-live support. This timeline is faster than piecing together off-the-shelf tools, and our proven track record—over 150 deployments—ensures minimal downtime. Post-launch, your team is up to speed, with the system evolving as your shop grows.
Is the system secure for handling sensitive customer and repair data?
Security is paramount in automotive, where you're dealing with VINs, insurance details, and personal info. Our custom builds incorporate enterprise-grade measures like end-to-end encryption, role-based access for techs and admins, and compliance with standards such as GDPR and SOC 2. Unlike cloud-dependent SaaS, you control your data's storage and backups, reducing breach risks. We've audited systems for shops handling high-value claims, with zero incidents reported, and include features like audit logs for tracking changes to estimates or job notes, ensuring peace of mind.
What support do you provide after the system is built?
Ownership doesn't mean you're on your own. We offer tiered support packages, from basic email helpdesk to dedicated engineering hours for updates. Initial training includes hands-on sessions for your team on features like AI repair predictions. For auto body specifics, we monitor performance metrics post-launch, optimizing for things like parts delay alerts. Most clients opt for annual tune-ups at $2,000-$5,000, far below subscription costs, keeping your system cutting-edge without vendor dependencies. Our goal: sustained efficiency gains year over year.
