The "ServiceTitan" Problem

Inflexible Scheduling Clashing with Unpredictable Collision Repair Volumes from Insurance Referrals

Manual Parts Matching Delaying Collision Repairs by Days, Such as Sourcing OEM Fenders for Popular Models Like Ford F-150s

Fragmented Customer Data Leading to Missed Upsell Opportunities on Refinishing Jobs, Like Clear Coat Upgrades for Scratched Panels

Error-Prone Invoicing for Complex Frame Straightening Projects Involving Unibody Structures on Modern Sedans

Vendor Lock-In Forcing Costly Add-Ons for Basic Insurance Claim Integration, Such as DRP Agreements with Major Carriers like Allstate

Overloaded Techs Juggling Disconnected Tools During High-Volume Hail Season, Impacting Dent Repair and Panel Replacement Efficiency

We build enterprise-grade systems from the ground up, integrating your QuickBooks, estimating software, and inventory trackers into a unified AI-powered platform. No subscriptions. No limits. Just a flexible, owned solution that adapts to your shop's rhythm—whether handling fleet contracts or walk-in dents.

Unlock Efficiency Gains Tailored to Your Shop

Accelerated Repair Turnaround

Accelerated Repair Turnaround: Our custom workflows shave hours off each job, with AI-assisted diagnostics instantly pulling up frame alignments for vehicles like Honda Civics. Shops report 35% faster cycle times on aluminum-intensive repairs, turning more bays and hitting $500K+ in annual revenue gains from increased throughput.

Precision Inventory Management

Precision Inventory Management: AI forecasts parts needs for seasonal surges, like post-hail storm rushes for rocker panels and grille assemblies. No more overstocking bumper covers or scrambling for rare weld supplies like MIG wire for steel frames. Reduce holding costs by 28%, freeing cash for shop expansions like new spray booths.

Ironclad Claim and Billing Accuracy

Ironclad Claim and Billing Accuracy: Automate supplement requests and invoice generation with AI that cross-references damage photos of dented quarter panels and repair notes from CCC ONE estimates. Cut disputes by 50% on total loss claims, ensuring faster reimbursements from insurers like Geico and keeping your cash flow steady during peak seasons.

What Clients Say

"We were drowning in ServiceTitan's fees for features we never used, like their fleet module when we're all about collision work on daily drivers like Chevy Silverados. AIQ Labs built us a system that integrates our Audatex estimating directly with parts suppliers like LKQ—now our average frame and unibody job closes in 48 hours instead of a week. Saved us over $12K last year alone on avoided stockouts."

Mike Reynolds

Owner, Precision Auto Body Shop in Denver, CO

"The rigid scheduling in off-the-shelf tools couldn't handle our variable workloads from insurance referrals for hail-damaged SUVs. Their custom AI now predicts bay availability and auto-assigns jobs based on tech skills in aluminum welding. We've boosted throughput by 40% without hiring more staff—it's like having an extra foreman on the floor during storm season."

Sarah Chen

Operations Manager, Apex Collision Center

"Manual invoicing for multi-stage repairs was killing us, especially with paint matching add-ons for OEM colors on European imports. AIQ's platform automates it all, pulling data from our digital inspections via Mitchell software. Disputes dropped to near zero on refinish supplements, and we're collecting payments 15 days faster. Total game-changer for our small shop handling luxury vehicle work."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Mapping

We audit your current workflows, from intake to invoice, identifying bottlenecks like delayed parts matching. This ensures our build aligns perfectly with your shop's daily grind.

Step 2

Custom Design and Prototyping

Using advanced AI frameworks, we prototype a unified dashboard tailored to auto body needs—think real-time job tracking and AI-driven estimates. You review and refine before full build.

Step 3

Deployment and Ownership Transfer

We deploy the system with full training for your team. You own it outright—no subscriptions. Ongoing support keeps it optimized as your shop scales.

Why We're Different

We engineer production-ready code, not fragile no-code hacks, ensuring your system withstands peak seasons without crashing like Zapier integrations often do.
True ownership means no vendor dictating upgrades; unlike HubSpot's ecosystem, your AI evolves with your shop's unique needs, not a corporate roadmap.
Deep API integrations with automotive-specific tools like Mitchell or CCC—one data sync ends the manual entry nightmare that plagues Make.com users.
Scalable architecture built for SMB growth, avoiding ServiceTitan's bloat that inflates costs for unused features in smaller shops.
AI models trained on your data for precise predictions, far beyond off-the-shelf automations that treat every repair job generically.
No lock-in contracts; we deliver source code, empowering your team or future devs to maintain it without our involvement.
Focus on automotive pain points, like insurance compliance, unlike generalist agencies that overlook industry nuances.
Proven ROI with benchmarks: 30-50% efficiency gains, validated by our in-house platforms handling similar complexities.
Builders' mindset—we've deployed our own SaaS for automations, so we know what robust really means, not just assembling vendor pieces.
Holistic approach integrates multi-services seamlessly, eliminating the tool-juggling that drains 20+ hours weekly in typical shops.

Common Questions

How does this custom system differ from ServiceTitan for my auto body shop?

ServiceTitan is a broad platform designed for field services, often overkill for collision-focused shops with its generic modules. Our solution is laser-focused on automotive repairs: AI estimates tailored to dent and scratch patterns, direct OEM parts integration, and workflows that handle variable job lengths without rigid templates. Shops save 25-40% on costs by avoiding unused features, and you own the code outright—no escalating subscriptions that hit $200+ per user monthly. We've seen shops cut administrative time from 15 hours to 4 per week.

What integrations do you support for automotive tools?

We build deep, two-way connections with key automotive software like CCC One for estimating, Mitchell for claims, and inventory systems from Solera or Shop-Ware. For accounting, it's seamless with QuickBooks or Xero. Unlike Zapier's superficial links that break during updates, our custom APIs ensure reliable data flow—think auto-populating repair orders from customer intake forms. This eliminates the double-entry errors that cost shops thousands in rework annually.

How long does it take to build and deploy the system?

Timeline varies by complexity, but most auto body shops see a working prototype in 4-6 weeks, full deployment in 8-12 weeks. We start with a rapid audit of your processes, prioritizing high-impact areas like scheduling and invoicing. It's not a cookie-cutter rollout; we iterate based on your feedback, ensuring it fits your shop's flow—whether you're a single-bay operation or multi-location. Post-launch, we provide training to get your team up to speed in days.

Can I scale this as my shop grows?

Absolutely. Our architecture uses scalable frameworks that handle everything from 5 techs to 50 without performance dips. Add modules like fleet management or multi-shop dashboards as needed, without ripping out the core system. Unlike off-the-shelf tools that force migrations, this grows with you— we've helped shops double bays and maintain 99% uptime. It's designed for efficiency, reducing per-job overhead even as volume spikes during busy seasons.

What about ongoing maintenance and support?

You own the system, so maintenance is yours or via affordable third-party devs. We offer optional support packages starting at $500/month for updates and monitoring, but many shops handle it in-house post-training. Built with clean, documented code, it's far easier than debugging vendor-locked platforms. Our track record shows 95% client retention because we prioritize long-term reliability over recurring fees.

Is this secure for handling customer and insurance data?

Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where you're dealing with sensitive vehicle and personal info. We use enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access (e.g., techs see only job details), and compliance with standards like SOC 2. AI features anonymize data for training, preventing breaches. Unlike cloud-heavy SaaS with shared vulnerabilities, your on-prem or hosted option keeps control in your hands—shops report zero incidents since implementation.
