Unlock Efficiency Tailored to Your Shop

Zero Vendor Lock-In, Total Ownership

Zero Vendor Lock-In, Total Ownership: Unlike ServiceTitan's escalating subscriptions that charge for unused modules like fleet telematics, our custom system is yours forever. Shops report saving $15,000 annually on features irrelevant to independent garages, while maintaining full control over updates for OBD-II diagnostics and features—no more paying for what you don't use.

Streamlined Multi-Service Operations

Streamlined Multi-Service Operations: From brake jobs to AC recharges and exhaust system repairs, our AI coordinates workflows across bays, reducing technician downtime by 25% during high-volume alignments. Real-world example: a 12-bay shop cut average repair time from 4 hours to 2.8 hours, freeing up bays for more transmission flushes per shift.

Predictive Inventory for Parts Precision

Predictive Inventory for Parts Precision: AI forecasts demand based on your local driving patterns, vehicle types like high-mileage sedans, and seasonal factors such as winter battery replacements, slashing overstock by 40% and ensuring belts, filters, or brake pads are always on hand—without the guesswork of generic software that ignores regional vehicle demographics.

What Clients Say

"We were bleeding cash on ServiceTitan's fees for features half our team never touched, like advanced CRM for dealerships. AIQ Labs built us a system that integrates our QuickBooks with repair tracking perfectly, including real-time OBD data logging. In three months, our billing errors on parts invoices dropped 50%, and techs spend less time on paperwork during busy oil change seasons."

Mike Rivera

Service Manager, Riverside Auto Repair & Tires

"Customizing for our fleet services was a game-changer. No more manual logging of DOT inspections for air brakes or chasing parts for 20-truck hauls during quarterly overhauls. The AI even flags recurring issues like transmission wear in heavy-duty diesels, saving us $8K in repeat visits last quarter by scheduling proactive fluid changes."

Sarah Chen

Fleet Operations Director, FleetPro Commercial Mechanics

"Switched from Zapier hacks to their unified platform, and it's like upgrading from a rusty sedan to a tuned V8. Customer reminders now automate via text for oil changes and tire rotations, boosting repeat business by 30% without adding staff—our service bay throughput jumped 20% in the first six months."

Common Questions

How does your custom system handle the chaos of a busy Saturday oil change rush?

Our tailored AI prioritizes dynamic scheduling, adjusting bay assignments in real-time based on job complexity and vehicle arrival patterns. For instance, it flags quick 30-minute oil changes to fill gaps between longer diagnostics, much like a pit crew optimizing laps. We've seen shops reduce wait times from 45 minutes to under 15, directly boosting customer satisfaction scores. Built on your historical data, it learns your peak patterns—say, more sedans on weekends—ensuring no bay sits idle. Integration with your POS means instant RO creation, freeing front desk staff from manual entry amid the frenzy.

What makes this better than sticking with ServiceTitan's integrations?

ServiceTitan forces you into their ecosystem, often requiring pricey add-ons for basic automotive needs like parts lookup. Our solution is fully custom, weaving in your preferred tools (e.g., ALLDATA for estimates) without middleman fees. Shops save 60% on costs while gaining flexibility—no more brittle Zapier links that break during updates. It's like owning a custom toolbox versus renting a generic kit; you get exact fits for multi-service workflows, from AC repairs to exhaust work, with AI handling 80% of routine tasks autonomously.

Can this system scale if my auto shop adds more bays or services?

Absolutely. We design with growth in mind, using modular architecture that expands effortlessly—add bays for EV charging or detailing without rebuilding. A client with 8 bays scaled to 15 in six months, incorporating fleet tracking seamlessly. Our AI adapts to new services like hybrid battery checks by retraining on your data, maintaining efficiency. Unlike off-the-shelf limits, this owned system supports unlimited users and custom modules, ensuring you hit benchmarks like 85% bay utilization even as volume surges 30% seasonally.

How do you ensure data security for sensitive repair and customer info?

Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where VINs and payment details are gold. We deploy enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with PCI and state privacy laws, plus role-based access so techs see only relevant ROs. Regular audits and AI anomaly detection flag unusual activity, like unauthorized parts access. One shop avoided a potential breach during a vendor sync gone wrong, thanks to our isolated integrations. It's fortified like a locked service bay—robust, monitored 24/7, and tailored to your operation's scale for peace of mind.

What's the timeline for building and launching this custom alternative?

From initial audit to go-live, expect 8-12 weeks for a full multi-service setup, depending on complexity. We start with a two-week discovery to map your workflows, then prototype key features like inventory AI in four weeks. Beta testing with your team ensures it fits like a glove before full deployment. A recent project for a 10-bay shop went live in 10 weeks, yielding immediate wins like 25% faster invoicing. Post-launch, we optimize for the first month at no extra cost, accelerating your path to owning a powerhouse system.

Will this integrate with our existing tools like QuickBooks or Shopmonkey?

Seamless integration is our hallmark. We create deep, bidirectional APIs that sync data effortlessly—repair orders flow to QuickBooks for instant billing, while inventory updates pull from suppliers like your O'Reilly account. No more duplicate entries that plague 40% of shops using patched systems. For Shopmonkey users, we mirror its strengths but add custom AI layers, like predictive diagnostics, without disrupting your setup. It's engineered for reliability, handling high-volume data like daily 50-RO days without hiccups.
