The "Tire Turnover" Problem
Endless manual tire stock checks amid fluctuating seasonal demands for all-season, winter, and performance tires
Customer frustration from delayed appointments and inaccurate availability updates
Error-prone reordering of tire sizes and brands leading to stockouts of popular 17-inch radials during peak rush hours
Wasted time reconciling supplier invoices with actual tire deliveries
Team burnout from juggling digital service logs for alignments and manual warranty claims on Bridgestone or Michelin tires
Missed upsell opportunities due to overlooked customer tire history, such as recommending alignments after new tire installations

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Gains Tailored to Your Operations
Slash Weekly Hours on Inventory Drudgery
Slash Weekly Hours on Inventory Drudgery: Manual tire counts for various tread patterns and sizes vanish. Our AI scans supplier feeds from Goodyear and Continental, plus sales history of OEM replacements, saving your team 25 hours per week—enough to handle 15% more wheel alignments without hiring. Industry benchmarks from NAPA AutoCare shops show this boosts productivity by 35%, turning wasted time into revenue-generating service slots for brake inspections.
Accelerate ROI Through Smarter Stock Management
Accelerate ROI Through Smarter Stock Management: Overstock of low-demand summer tires ties up capital; stockouts of high-volume all-terrain tires lose customers. Our custom models forecast demand with 92% accuracy based on local weather data and vehicle registration trends, cutting excess inventory by 40% and delivering a 4:1 ROI within six months. Independent tire dealers using similar systems report $12,000 annual savings on tire waste alone, plus reduced holding costs for 18-inch rims.
Boost Customer Throughput and Satisfaction
Boost Customer Throughput and Satisfaction: Automated reminders for tire rotations and real-time booking for bay availability reduce wait times by 50%. No more double-bookings for lift services in your bays. This efficiency focus yields a 28% uptick in repeat business, as seen in our automotive partners like independent garages, freeing your front desk for personalized upsells like nitrogen inflations or TPMS recalibrations.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were drowning in manual tire logs for our 205/55R16 inventory—our guys spent mornings just counting stock instead of performing alignments. Now, the system auto-orders based on our busiest seasons like spring tire changes, and we've cut ordering errors by half. Saved us about 18 hours a week, and our end-of-month inventory audits for radial tires take minutes, not days."
Mike Reynolds
Service Manager, Precision Tires & Auto Repair in Denver, CO
"Integrating our legacy POS with AIQ's automation was a game-changer during last winter's rush for studded snow tires. No more guessing on needs for 225/65R17 sizes; it predicted and ordered exactly what we sold out of based on regional snowfall data. Dropped our stockout rate from 20% to under 5%, and customers actually thank us for the quick turnarounds on installations."
Sarah Patel
Owner, Urban Wheel Works Tire Center in Chicago, IL
"We juggled three apps for scheduling tire services and invoicing warranties, but they never synced for Michelin rebates. AIQ built a single system that handles tire warranties, bay assignments for rotations, and supplier tracking flawlessly. Our team reclaimed 12 hours weekly on paperwork, and we've seen a 15% bump in upsells for wheel balances since implementation last quarter."

Operations Director, Fleet Tire Solutions in Atlanta, GA

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle seasonal tire demand spikes?
Our custom AI analyzes past sales data, local weather forecasts, and regional driving patterns to predict surges—like winter snow tire rushes—with 92% accuracy. For a mid-sized shop, this means auto-generating reorder lists two weeks ahead, preventing stockouts that could cost you 10-15% in lost sales. We integrate directly with your suppliers' APIs for one-click ordering, and the system learns from each season to refine forecasts. Shops we've partnered with report 40% less overstock waste, turning potential headaches into efficient, profitable cycles. Setup involves a quick data import from your existing records, and we fine-tune it during the first peak period for optimal performance.
What kind of time savings can a tire shop expect from this?
Tire shops typically reclaim 20-30 hours weekly from manual tasks like stock logging, appointment juggling, and invoice matching. Imagine your techs spending less time on paperwork and more on mounting tires—our benchmarks show a 35% productivity boost. For example, automated reminders cut no-shows by 25%, freeing bays faster, while AI-driven reordering eliminates daily checks that ate up mornings. ROI hits within 4-6 months, with one client saving $8,500 yearly on labor alone. We customize to your workflow, so savings scale with your volume; larger shops see even bigger gains as the system handles complex multi-bay scheduling without errors.
Is the system compatible with our existing tire shop software?
Absolutely— we specialize in deep integrations with tools like TireMaster, Shopmonkey, or even legacy POS systems common in automotive. Our approach starts with mapping your current setup, then building secure, two-way API connections that sync data in real-time, like tire sales feeding directly into inventory forecasts. No more double-entry; changes in one system update everywhere instantly. We've handled quirky integrations for shops using outdated software, ensuring 99% uptime. Post-launch, we provide monitoring to catch any glitches early, and the custom build means it evolves with your tools, avoiding the pitfalls of rigid off-the-shelf automations.
How secure is this automation for customer and inventory data?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where customer tire histories and payment info demand protection. We use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) and comply with standards like PCI-DSS for payments and DOT guidelines for service records. Your data stays on your owned system, not scattered across subscriptions, with role-based access so only authorized staff see sensitive details. Regular audits and AI anomaly detection flag unusual activity, like unauthorized stock queries. Clients in regulated spaces praise our setup for zero breaches over years of use, and we include compliance training to keep your team aligned. It's built tough, like a reinforced tire sidewall, to safeguard your operations without slowing you down.
Can this scale if my tire shop expands to multiple locations?
Yes, our automations are designed for growth, handling multi-site tire shops with centralized dashboards for cross-location inventory views and unified scheduling. For instance, AI can balance stock across branches based on regional demands, reducing transfer delays by 50%. We build with scalable cloud architecture, supporting 10x volume increases without rework—proven in our work with expanding chains. During discovery, we assess your expansion plans to incorporate features like location-specific forecasting. One partner grew from two to five shops seamlessly, saving 40 hours weekly on inter-site coordination. Ongoing support ensures it adapts, keeping efficiency high as you add bays or service lines.
What if we need custom features for specific tire services like alignments?
Customization is our core—we tailor every automation to your unique needs, like integrating alignment tracking with tire pressure data for proactive service alerts. If alignments are a big revenue driver, our AI can analyze wear patterns to suggest bundled offers, boosting upsells by 20%. We collaborate closely in the design phase, prototyping features based on your input, such as auto-logging post-alignment inspections. Delivery includes full testing against real workflows, and post-go-live tweaks are included for 90 days. Shops love how this turns generic tools into shop-specific powerhouses, with one client adding EV tire modules mid-project without disruption, yielding immediate efficiency gains.
