What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose weekend calls about tire rotations and pressure checks—now it books them overnight using our real-time inventory, and we've seen a 25% uptick in early-morning appointments since rollout three months ago, especially for TPMS recalibrations."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Tire & Auto Pros in Denver, CO
"Our old system couldn't handle queries on tire warranties and load index ratings after 6 PM. This custom bot integrates with our inventory perfectly, pulling DOT codes for verification; last quarter, it resolved over 150 inquiries without us lifting a finger, boosting our repeat business."
Sarah Lopez
Service Manager, Apex Tire & Wheel Services in Atlanta, GA
"Dealing with flat tire emergencies and roadside blowout advice used to mean missed sleep for staff. The 24/7 chatbot changed that—customers get instant guidance on spare tire usage and towing options, and our satisfaction ratings jumped from 7.2 to 9.1 in just two months per our internal surveys."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle urgent tire emergencies outside business hours?
Our custom AI is designed for tire shops' realities—drivers don't clock out. Trained on emergency protocols, it assesses issues like blowouts via chat, checks stock for spares, and books immediate slots. For instance, if a customer reports a sidewall tear, it pulls your inventory for matching tires and sends a confirmation text. This round-the-clock readiness has helped shops like yours recover 30% more after-hours leads, per industry benchmarks. We integrate it with your scheduling to avoid overbooking, ensuring safe, efficient service without waking your team.
Can the chatbot integrate with my existing tire inventory software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way API connections tailored to automotive tools like TireMaster or Shop-Ware. No superficial links that break—our engineers build robust integrations so the bot queries live stock for tire sizes or tread depths in real time. Picture a customer asking for 225/55R17 all-seasons; it cross-references your database, quotes accurately, and updates availability instantly. This eliminates manual checks, reducing errors by 85% and freeing staff for installs. Setup takes weeks, not months, and scales with your inventory growth.
What if a customer needs advice on tire types for specific vehicles?
Precision is key in tires—wrong recommendations cost trust and sales. Our bot, custom-trained on your shop's data, provides expert guidance like suggesting performance tires for sports cars or all-terrains for trucks. It factors in vehicle make, model, and local conditions, drawing from industry standards. For example, for a Ford F-150 in snowy regions, it might recommend studded options with load ratings. We've seen satisfaction scores rise 25% with this personalization. If details get tricky, it seamlessly transfers to your techs, maintaining that authoritative edge.
How secure is the chatbot for handling customer data in a tire shop?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive info like vehicle VINs or payment details for tire orders. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with automotive data standards, building in features like GDPR-ready consent prompts. Your data stays in your controlled environment—no cloud leaks. Regular audits ensure protection against breaches, which plague 40% of generic bots. For tire shops, this means safe storage of service histories, preventing costly fines. Our track record? Zero incidents across 250+ deployments, giving you peace of mind amid rising cyber threats.
What's the setup time and cost for a custom chatbot?
We cut the fluff—discovery and build take 4-6 weeks for a tire-focused bot, faster than off-the-shelf tweaks that drag on. Costs start at a one-time build fee, avoiding endless subscriptions that bleed small shops dry. Expect ROI in months: one client recouped investment via 50 extra bookings quarterly. We tailor to your scale—solo operator or multi-location—and include training so your team owns it fully. No hidden fees; it's your asset, customized to workflows like tire bay scheduling, delivering efficiency without the chaos of rented tools.
Does the chatbot improve tire sales through upselling?
Yes, strategically. Built for results, it spots opportunities—like suggesting alignments with new tires or winter sets during queries. Using your data, it personalizes: 'Based on your SUV, consider these all-weathers for better traction.' Benchmarks show 18% sales uplift from such nudges in automotive chat. It's subtle, not pushy, trained on your pricing to maintain trust. Track it via our dashboard, refining prompts for peak seasons. Shops report converting 40% more inquiries into full-service visits, turning support into a revenue engine.
