Maximize Bay Utilization

Maximize Bay Utilization: Our integration ensures no empty bays from scheduling mishaps, preventing overlaps in collision repairs or alignments. Shops using our systems report 25% higher throughput on average over six months, turning more fenders, frames, and exhaust systems without adding staff. Like fine-tuning an engine, it optimizes every slot for peak performance in high-volume service days.

Accelerate Turnaround Times

Accelerate Turnaround Times: Sync repair estimates directly to calendars for jobs like engine diagnostics or bodywork, cutting delays by 35% on average within the first quarter. Customers get vehicles back faster, boosting reviews and repeat business for services like oil changes. It's like upgrading to high-performance tires—smoother, quicker rides through your workflow with fewer shop backlogs.

Slash Administrative Overhead

Slash Administrative Overhead: Automate reminders and confirmations for appointments like transmission services, freeing your front desk from phone tag with customers. Expect 20 hours saved weekly on manual entries for parts tracking, allowing focus on high-value tasks like upselling alignments or detailing packages. Precision engineering for your daily grind in managing repair queues.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, we were constantly rescheduling because our old system didn't integrate with Google Calendar for incoming dent repairs. Now, everything syncs automatically—parts orders for fenders and headlights pop up right when body bays open. Last quarter, we handled 15% more collision jobs without overtime, and our CSI scores improved by 12 points."

Mike Rodriguez

Shop Manager, Precision Auto Body

"The integration caught a double-booking for a full frame straightening that would've cost us a full day in the paint booth. It's been three months, and our techs are actually finishing paint and detail work early. Revenue's up 18% from faster turnarounds, and the team's less stressed—no more chasing down missed updates on rust repair logs."

Sarah Jenkins

Owner, Elite Collision Repair

"We integrated our vendor portal with the calendar, so deliveries for catalytic converters and brake rotors match our repair slots perfectly. No more waiting on emissions parts during inspections. In the first two months, we reduced inventory holding costs by 22% for OEM components and kept customers happier with on-time pickups for fleet vans."

Common Questions

How does this integration handle high-volume days like after a storm surge?

Our custom-built system is designed for the unpredictable nature of auto body work. It prioritizes dynamic scheduling, automatically reshuffling bays for urgent hail damage jobs while protecting ongoing restorations. We've stress-tested it against scenarios where intake doubles overnight, ensuring calendars adapt without manual intervention. Shops see a 40% faster recovery to normal ops, with built-in buffers for technician breaks and parts delays. It's not just syncing—it's intelligent orchestration tailored to your shop's peak loads.

Will this work with our existing estimating software like CCC One?

Absolutely. We specialize in deep integrations with popular automotive tools like CCC One, Audatex, or Mitchell. Our engineers map your estimate data—labor hours, parts lists—directly into Google Calendar events, creating a seamless flow from quote to bay assignment. No data loss or double-entry. In one recent project, a mid-sized shop cut estimate-to-schedule time from 2 hours to 10 minutes. We handle the custom API work, ensuring compatibility without disrupting your current setup.

What if we need to add more users or bays later?

Scalability is core to our approach. The integration uses enterprise-grade frameworks that expand effortlessly as your shop grows—whether adding bays for EV repairs or hiring more techs. We build in modular components, so onboarding new users takes minutes via Google Workspace. Clients who've scaled from 8 to 15 bays report zero performance dips, with real-time syncing maintaining speed. Our ongoing support includes quarterly reviews to optimize for your evolving workflow, preventing bottlenecks before they hit.

How secure is the data syncing between systems?

Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where customer vehicle details are sensitive. We employ end-to-end encryption for all data flows, compliant with GDPR and industry standards like those from the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers. Access is role-based—front desk sees appointments, techs get bay specifics— with audit trails for every change. In over 200 deployments, we've had zero breaches. Regular vulnerability scans and secure API gateways keep your repair logs and customer info locked down tight.

Can we get a demo before committing?

Yes, we start every engagement with a free 30-minute demo customized to your shop. We'll walk through a simulated day: quoting a fender bender, scheduling the pull, and syncing parts arrival—all live in Google Calendar. You'll see how it flags conflicts and automates confirmations. Based on real client setups, this reveals quick wins like 25% better bay use. No sales pressure; it's about showing how we tailor to your exact challenges, like handling insurance adjuster timelines.

What's the typical timeline for implementation?

For most auto body shops, we deliver a fully functional integration in 4-6 weeks. Week 1 is discovery, mapping your workflows. Weeks 2-3 involve building and testing against your data. Deployment hits week 4, with training and go-live. Post-launch, we monitor for a week to iron out any quirks. Larger shops with complex inventory might extend to 8 weeks, but we've hit 3 weeks for streamlined setups. This phased approach minimizes downtime—your calendars stay operational throughout.
