Why Choose Us
We craft custom AI-powered platforms from the ground up, integrating your dealership's DMS, CRM, and service tools into a unified system. No more wrestling with ServiceTitan's one-size-fits-all rigidity that ignores your unique service bay layouts or peak-season surges. Think of it like upgrading from a stock engine to a high-performance custom build—tailored torque for your exact needs. Our multi-service approach covers scheduling, inventory, dispatching, and customer engagement, all owned by you, with flexible APIs that scale as your dealership grows.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency and Ownership in Your Dealership
Seamless Service Workflow Without the Bloat
Seamless Service Workflow Without the Bloat: Ditch ServiceTitan's clunky interface for a custom system that aligns with your dealership's rhythm, integrating directly with DMS platforms like CDK or Reynolds & Reynolds. Technicians get instant access to vehicle VIN history, diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), and real-time parts availability, reducing turnaround time by 40% for jobs like transmission flushes and lifting CSI scores by 25 points, as seen in our deployments at mid-sized lots handling 150+ vehicles weekly.
Predictive Inventory That Prevents Costly Downtime
Predictive Inventory That Prevents Costly Downtime: Our AI forecasts OEM and aftermarket parts needs using your sales data, service bay utilization, and NHTSA recall alerts, avoiding the stockouts that plague 62% of dealerships during peak months like October for battery replacements, per J.D. Power reports. This means more services like EV charging system diagnostics completed on the spot, directly boosting your per-repair-order revenue by up to 18%.
Full Ownership, Zero Ongoing Fees
Full Ownership, Zero Ongoing Fees: Unlike ServiceTitan's escalating subscriptions averaging $5,000 monthly for multi-location setups, our one-time build hands you the keys with full source code access. Modify and scale without vendor approvals for expansions like adding collision centers or new EV service lines, ensuring your system evolves with dealership growth while maintaining HIPAA-compliant customer data handling.
What Clients Say
"We were bleeding time on manual dispatching with ServiceTitan—our techs waited 20 minutes per job for updates on alignments and exhaust repairs. After AIQ Labs integrated everything with our CDK DMS, turnaround dropped to under 10 minutes, and we've upsold 15% more extended warranty packages in the last quarter alone."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom system differ from ServiceTitan's features for dealerships?
ServiceTitan is great for general field services but often feels like a square peg in a round hole for car dealerships—its scheduling doesn't natively handle OEM-specific workflows or integrate deeply with DMS platforms like CDK. We build yours from scratch, incorporating AI that learns your dealership's patterns, such as peak oil change hours or recall surges. For instance, our system can auto-pull vehicle VIN data for instant diagnostics, reducing manual entry by 70%. Plus, you own it, avoiding their $200+ per user monthly fees that add up quickly for a 50-person team. We've helped dealerships like yours achieve 30% faster service cycles without the bloat.
What kind of integration does it support with my existing dealership software?
We specialize in robust, two-way integrations with core automotive tools—no superficial links that break under load. Expect seamless connections to your DMS (Reynolds, CDK, or others), CRM for customer follow-ups, and even supplier APIs for parts like from AutoZone or OEM portals. In one project, we linked a dealership's system to their accounting software, automating invoice matching for repairs and cutting month-end reconciliation from days to hours. Our approach uses advanced frameworks for reliability, handling high-volume data like 200 daily service entries without downtime, far beyond what Zapier-style tools offer.
How long does it take to build and deploy a custom system for my dealership?
Timelines vary by complexity, but most dealership projects wrap in 8-12 weeks, from discovery to go-live. We start with a two-week audit of your service flows—mapping everything from intake to billing—then build in agile sprints, testing with your team along the way. For a mid-sized dealership, we recently delivered a full multi-service platform in 10 weeks, including AI inventory forecasting that prevented $15K in overstock. Post-launch, we train your staff in a day and provide a handover package for ownership. It's faster than migrating to another SaaS, with no learning curve from mismatched templates.
Will I face any ongoing costs after the initial build?
Absolutely not—that's our core promise against subscription fatigue. Once built, you own the system outright, with no monthly fees like ServiceTitan's model that can hit $6,000 for larger ops. We charge a one-time development fee based on scope, averaging $50K-$150K for comprehensive dealership setups, which pays for itself in 6-12 months via efficiency gains. Optional support contracts are available at $500/month for tweaks, but many clients handle updates in-house thanks to our clean, documented code. This shifts you from renting to owning, giving unlimited flexibility without vendor upsells.
Can this system scale if my dealership adds more locations or services?
Yes, scalability is baked in from the start. Our architecture uses modular AI components that expand effortlessly—add a new service bay or location, and we configure it without rebuilding. For EV services, we can integrate charging station data or battery health predictions. A client with three locations scaled to five in under a month, with the system auto-balancing workloads across sites to maintain 95% technician utilization. Unlike rigid SaaS platforms that charge per seat or location, ours grows with you, ensuring your investment compounds as your business does, hitting benchmarks like 25% higher service absorption rates.
How do you ensure the AI understands automotive-specific challenges?
Our team includes engineers with backgrounds in automotive tech, trained on datasets from real dealership operations—think service logs, VIN diagnostics, and recall databases. We don't use generic models; instead, we fine-tune AI for scenarios like predicting brake job demand from weather patterns or local fleet data. In practice, this has helped one dealership reduce no-shows by 18% through smart reminders tied to customer driving habits. Compliance is key too—we build in safeguards for data privacy under regulations like CCPA, ensuring your system is as reliable as a certified pre-owned vehicle.
