The "Fragmented Outreach" Problem
Manual lead tracking from online inquiries for wheel alignments overwhelms your front desk during peak hours, leading to lost bookings for high-margin services
Inconsistent follow-up on oil change reminders leaves loyal customers driving to competitors
Scattered email blasts for seasonal tire promotions waste ad spend on uninterested locals, missing opportunities to target drivers in snowy regions with all-season tire swaps
No personalization in brake service reminders based on vehicle mileage results in low open rates and missed upsells for pad replacements or rotor inspections
Juggling multiple tools for social media posts about shop promotions causes delays in customer engagement
Delayed responses to website form submissions for engine diagnostic requests frustrate potential high-ticket jobs like transmission rebuilds or ECU reprogramming

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were drowning in follow-up calls for routine services like oil changes and alignments—easily 10 hours a week gone. Now, the automation handles reminders based on service history, and we've seen a 35% uptick in repeat business over six months, especially for seasonal tire rotations. It's like having an extra staffer who never sleeps."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Auto Repair in Denver, CO
"Customizing campaigns for our fleet clients was a nightmare with stock software—tracking down diesel truck maintenance logs manually. AIQ built something that pulls in vehicle history from telematics and sends tailored tire rotation alerts for heavy-duty rigs. Cut our marketing time in half, and bookings jumped 25% last quarter for fleet alignments—no exaggeration."
Sarah Chen
General Manager, Apex Transmission & Fleet Services in Seattle, WA
"We struggled with seasonal promotions falling flat because nothing was personalized for SUV vs. sedan owners. Their AI system now segments our customers by make, model, and last service date, and we've doubled open rates on emails for brake checks and fluid flushes. Saved us about $2K monthly on ineffective ads for winter prep packages."

What's Included
Common Questions
How does this differ from standard marketing tools like Mailchimp for my auto shop?
Unlike Mailchimp's templated emails, our custom AI builds a full ecosystem around your shop's data—integrating service logs, customer vehicles, and local trends for hyper-personalized outreach. For instance, it can auto-send brake pad reminders based on actual mileage, not generic lists. We've seen shops achieve 4x higher engagement rates because it's tailored, not one-size-fits-all. Plus, you own the system, avoiding subscription hikes as your customer base grows. Implementation takes 4-6 weeks, with immediate time savings on manual tasks.
What kind of time savings can I expect in my daily operations?
Auto repair shops typically reclaim 15-20 hours weekly from fragmented marketing tasks. Think no more manual entry of leads from phone calls or Facebook inquiries—our AI automates nurturing, scheduling follow-ups for things like transmission flushes. One client cut front-desk admin by 12 hours, redirecting staff to diagnostics. Efficiency gains compound: With 30% faster lead response, bays fill quicker, boosting revenue without extra hires. We benchmark against industry standards, ensuring your ROI hits 3x within the first quarter.
Is this system secure for handling customer vehicle and contact data?
Absolutely. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, crucial for sensitive automotive data such as VINs and service histories. Unlike cloud-based assemblers prone to breaches, our owned systems include role-based access and audit logs tailored to shop needs. For example, only authorized staff see customer profiles for recall alerts. We've audited integrations with tools like QuickBooks to prevent leaks, and our track record shows zero incidents across 250+ deployments. Security is baked in from design, not added on.
How do you customize it for my specific shop workflow?
We start with a deep dive into your operations—mapping how leads come in via website forms or walk-ins, and how they tie to scheduling for jobs like alignments. No templates here; we code AI models that fit your exact flow, say, prioritizing EV battery checks if that's your niche. Our team, with automotive consulting experience, ensures seamless ties to your POS system. The result is a bespoke engine that evolves—adding features like voice booking as needed—delivering 40% productivity boosts without disrupting daily repairs.
What's the ROI timeline for implementing this in my business?
Most shops see positive ROI within 2-3 months, with full payback in 6. For a mid-sized operation spending $5K monthly on scattered marketing, our system cuts costs by 40% while lifting conversions 25% through targeted campaigns like tire promotions. Quantifiable wins include 15 hours saved weekly (valued at $300+ in labor) and increased bookings adding $10K quarterly revenue. We provide upfront projections based on your data, tracking against benchmarks like the 2.5x average for automotive digital marketing. Long-term, it's an owned asset scaling with your growth.
Can this integrate with my existing shop management software?
Yes, we specialize in robust integrations with platforms like Shopmonkey, Tekmetric, or ALLDATA. Our two-way APIs sync customer data in real-time—for instance, pulling repair histories to trigger personalized oil change emails. No brittle Zapier-style connections; we build direct, production-ready links that handle high-volume data without errors. Shops report 95% automation of lead-to-schedule flows, reducing double-entry that plagues manual setups. Setup involves a one-time audit, and we maintain it for seamless updates as your software evolves.
