The "Marketing Overload" Problem
Manual lead tracking across scattered Dealer Management Systems (DMS) like CDK and Reynolds & Reynolds
Inefficient follow-ups for test drive bookings and trade-in appraisals using outdated CRM silos
Wasted ad spend on generic campaigns ignoring local buyer preferences for SUVs in suburban markets or trucks in rural areas
Overlooked service reminders for routine maintenance like oil changes due to disjointed customer data in service bays
Struggling with seasonal promotions like December Black Friday deals for clearing 2023 model year inventory
Fragmented reporting on vehicle-specific marketing performance for models like F-150 vs. electric crossovers

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent Fridays manually tracking leads from our website and AutoTrader inquiries. Now, the system auto-sends personalized SMS for test drive slots on our Silverado inventory, and we've closed 12 extra deals in the last quarter without adding staff—our sales per employee is up 22%."
Mike Reynolds
General Manager, Central City Ford Dealership in Denver, CO
"Integrating this with our CDK Global DMS was a game-changer. Service reminders for 5,000-mile oil changes went from manual calls to automated emails with loyalty discount codes, bringing back 30% more customers for routine maintenance. Setup took just two weeks, and it's paid for itself with a 150% return in the first quarter."
Sarah Lopez
Marketing Director, Apex Auto Group in Atlanta, GA
"We were buried in generic email blasts that ignored our heavy-duty truck inventory spikes during construction season. Their custom AI now targets local tradesmen with trade-in offers on our Sierra models, and our qualified lead volume is up 40%—no more sifting through bad fits, with close rates improving to 18%."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this integrate with my existing dealership software?
We specialize in seamless connections to popular DMS like CDK Global and Reynolds & Reynolds, plus CRMs such as VinSolutions. Our team maps your workflows during discovery, building custom APIs that sync data in real-time—eliminating manual exports. For instance, inventory updates automatically trigger targeted campaigns. Setup typically takes 4-6 weeks, with minimal disruption, and we test thoroughly to ensure 100% data accuracy. This creates a unified system that feels native, not bolted-on.
What kind of time savings can a dealership expect?
Most clients save 15-25 hours weekly by automating lead nurturing and reporting. Picture this: instead of staff manually pulling lists for follow-ups, AI handles segmentation and sends personalized messages based on past visits or online views. One dealership cut their email prep from 10 hours to 30 minutes per campaign. Over a year, that's hundreds of hours redirected to floor sales, often yielding 20% more closes. We quantify this in your ROI projection during consultation.
Is this customizable for my specific inventory and location?
Absolutely—every solution is built around your dealership's unique needs, like promoting local favorites such as trucks in rural areas or EVs in urban ones. We analyze your sales data to tailor automations, ensuring campaigns align with stock levels and regional trends. No cookie-cutter templates here; it's all custom code. For example, we can set rules to prioritize high-margin models during slow periods, boosting efficiency without generic blasts.
How secure is the data in your marketing automation system?
Security is paramount, especially with customer details like contact info and purchase history. We use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) and comply with GDPR, CCPA, and automotive standards. Data stays within your owned system, not rented clouds prone to breaches. Access controls limit who sees what, and we conduct regular audits. In one deployment, this setup passed a third-party security review with zero issues, giving our client peace of mind during high-stakes promotions.
What's the ROI timeline for implementing this?
Dealerships typically see positive ROI within 3-6 months, with full payback in under a year. We base projections on your metrics: if manual tasks cost $50/hour and you save 20 hours weekly, that's $52,000 annually—offset by our one-time build fee. Add revenue lifts from better leads, like 15% more service bookings, and it compounds. We provide a detailed model upfront, tracking actual vs. projected gains via built-in analytics to refine as needed.
Can this handle seasonal spikes, like end-of-year sales?
Yes, our scalable architecture is designed for volume surges. During events like Black Friday or model-year closeouts, the system auto-scales to manage 5x normal leads without lag. We incorporate rules for seasonal logic, such as ramping up trade-in offers when inventory peaks. A client last December handled 2,000 extra inquiries seamlessly, converting 18% more than manual efforts. Monitoring ensures it adapts dynamically, keeping your team efficient year-round.
