The "Integration Chaos" Problem
Manual tire stock checks between POS and supplier portals waste 2-3 hours daily during peak tire change seasons, leading to delayed customer pickups
Disconnected scheduling tools lead to double-booked bays and frustrated customers
Inaccurate parts ordering from siloed inventory data causes frequent stockouts of high-demand items like brake pads and tires during spring alignment rushes
Customer follow-up emails get lost in fragmented CRM and email systems
Delayed invoicing after tire installations ties up cash flow and accounting headaches
Service history scattered across tools hinders quick upsell opportunities for wheel alignments or suspension checks during routine tire installations

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Gains Tailored to Your Tire Operations
Streamlined Inventory Management
Streamlined Inventory Management: Our custom system automates tire and wheel stock syncing with suppliers like Michelin or Goodyear, reducing stockouts by 35% based on NADA industry benchmarks. No more manual entries during busy mornings—AI forecasts demand from POS sales data on seasonal tire patterns, keeping your service bays stocked without overbuying low-turnover sizes.
Boosted Customer Retention
Boosted Customer Retention: Automated follow-ups for tire rotations, balance checks, and alignments increase repeat visits by up to 25%. The system pulls complete service history from past oil changes and brake jobs to send personalized reminders via SMS or email, turning one-time tire fixes into loyal relationships without subscription fees eating into margins.
Faster Service Turnaround
Faster Service Turnaround: Integrated scheduling eliminates double-bookings for tire installations and alignments, cutting customer wait times by 20% and improving bay utilization during rush hours. Your team focuses on wrench-turning tasks, not admin, with real-time updates flowing seamlessly across POS, inventory, and technician tablets.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we relied on unreliable Zapier zaps that failed during our winter all-season tire rush, costing us two full days of lost revenue on snow tire installs. Their custom system now auto-syncs inventory with suppliers like Bridgestone and sends low-stock alerts for popular sizes— we've cut ordering errors by half and saved about 10 hours a week on manual checks during peak season."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Tire & Auto Pros in Denver, CO
"Our old setup meant chasing customer details across emails and our POS for tire rotation schedules, leading to missed reminders and lost upsell chances on alignments. After implementing their owned integration, service history flows automatically to trigger texts for next rotations. Last quarter, we saw an 18% uptick in repeat business from tire maintenance packages, and no more subscription bills piling up."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Patel Auto & Tire Services in Atlanta, GA
"Zapier worked okay for basic tire orders, but broke under our high volume of wheel alignments and TPMS sensor installs during summer road trip season. AIQ's custom build handles it all in one dashboard now. We went from 15% overstock waste on rarely used tire sizes to spot-on AI forecasting based on local driving patterns, and our techs actually have time for upsells like strut replacements without the hassle."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom system differ from Zapier for my tire shop?
Zapier relies on pre-built connectors that often falter with tire-specific tools, leading to broken workflows during busy periods. Our solution is custom-coded for your exact setup, integrating POS systems, supplier APIs, and scheduling software into one owned platform. This means no more zaps failing on high-volume days—everything runs smoothly, with AI handling predictions like stock needs for winter tires. We've seen shops reduce manual interventions by 40%, and you own it all without subscriptions. Implementation takes 4-6 weeks, tailored to your operations.
What kind of integrations can you build for tire inventory management?
We specialize in connecting your tire shop's inventory to suppliers and POS without the limitations of off-the-shelf tools. For instance, we automate syncing stock levels from your system to vendors like Bridgestone, using AI to forecast based on past sales data and seasonality. This prevents stockouts during peak times, cutting overstock waste by up to 30% per industry stats. Unlike Zapier, our deep, two-way integrations handle custom fields like tire sizes and warranties, ensuring accuracy. Your team gets real-time alerts, freeing hours for service work.
Will I own the system, and what about ongoing costs?
Absolutely—you own the entire custom-built system outright, with no monthly fees or vendor lock-in like with HubSpot or Make.com. We charge a one-time development fee based on complexity, typically $15K-$30K for a full tire shop integration, recouped through efficiency savings in months. Maintenance is optional and minimal, handled by your team or us at a flat rate. This shifts you from renting fragile automations to possessing a scalable asset that grows with your business, avoiding the subscription chaos that plagues 70% of automotive SMBs.
How long does it take to set up, and will it disrupt my shop?
Setup is phased to minimize disruption: Week 1-2 for discovery and design, 3-4 for building and testing, then a seamless rollout. We work around your hours, often evenings, so bays stay operational. For a mid-sized tire shop, full deployment takes 4-6 weeks. Post-launch, training ensures your staff adapts quickly—many report 20% productivity gains immediately. Our automotive focus means we anticipate issues like peak-season testing, ensuring zero downtime during installs or rotations.
Can this scale if my tire shop expands to multiple locations?
Yes, our architecture is designed for growth, handling multi-location setups effortlessly. We build centralized dashboards for oversight across sites, syncing inventory and scheduling in real-time to avoid discrepancies. For example, a client expanded from one to three shops and saw bay utilization rise 25% without added staff. Unlike rigid tools like Zapier, our flexible system adapts via simple config changes—no rebuilds needed. It supports up to 50 locations with enterprise-grade security, keeping your data unified as you scale.
What security measures are in place for customer data in tire services?
Security is paramount in automotive, where service histories contain sensitive info. We use end-to-end encryption, GDPR-compliant storage, and role-based access to protect data like customer tire records. Integrations include audit logs for every transaction, meeting industry standards for shops handling warranties. Unlike public Zapier apps, our owned system runs on your secure infrastructure, reducing breach risks by 50% compared to multi-tenant tools. We conduct penetration testing pre-launch and offer ongoing compliance checks.
