What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Gains That Drive Your Shop Forward
Reclaim 25 Hours Per Week in Lost Productivity
Reclaim 25 Hours Per Week in Lost Productivity: Technicians spend hours on manual tasks like logging I-CAR compliant damage notes or calling suppliers for torque specs. Our platform automates these with AI-driven photo analysis and digital checklists, freeing up time for actual repairs like panel alignment. Industry benchmarks from the Auto Body Association show shops average 18 hours weekly on admin; we cut that by 70%, boosting throughput and letting you take on 20% more jobs without hiring additional certified techs.
Achieve 4x Faster ROI on Operational Investments
Achieve 4x Faster ROI on Operational Investments: Manual processes inflate costs—think $5,000 monthly in overtime from delays in sourcing OEM fenders or calibrating ADAS systems. Our automation delivers payback in under three months, with shops reporting 35% cost reductions on parts and labor through predictive ordering and error-proof estimating. Like fine-tuning an engine for peak performance, we optimize every workflow—from tear-down to final QC—for efficiency, ensuring your growth isn't throttled by outdated habits in a competitive collision market.
Scale Effortlessly as Your Shop Expands
Scale Effortlessly as Your Shop Expands: From 5 bays to 50, our platform adapts without limits, integrating with tools like frame machines and spray booths. Handle surging demand from fleet contracts or seasonal collisions seamlessly, with real-time job tracking that prevents overlaps in refinish scheduling. Clients see 50% productivity boosts, turning potential bottlenecks into competitive edges in a market where speed wins customers and repeat business from insurers.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried in paperwork for every fender bender claim, manually measuring dents and pulling CCC estimates. Now, estimates generate automatically via app-based scans, and we've cut turnaround from 5 days to 2 for full structural repairs. Last quarter alone, that meant 15 extra jobs without adding staff—pure game-changer for our bottom line during hail season."
Mike Rivera
Shop Manager, Precision Auto Body in Denver, CO
"Parts delays used to kill our schedule; we'd lose half a day hunting invoices for OEM headlights or calling around for paint codes. Their system flags shortages instantly and even suggests alternatives from certified suppliers. In six months, we've reduced idle time by 40% on bumper jobs, and insurance payouts come through 30% faster via automated DRP submissions. It's like having an extra mechanic who never sleeps."
Sarah Chen
Operations Director, Elite Collision Repair in Seattle, WA
"We were juggling three different apps for scheduling frame pulls and inventorying body fillers, and it was a nightmare during peak season rushes. AIQ built us one unified platform that scales with our growth, syncing with our Hunter alignment racks. Revenue per bay jumped 25% in the first year after handling 20% more fleet vehicle repairs, and the team actually has time for lunch now."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your platform handle the unique challenges of auto body repair workflows?
Auto body shops face intense pressure from tight deadlines and variable repair scopes, like frame straightening or aluminum panel work. Our Growth Automation Platform starts by mapping your specific processes—whether it's integrating with Audatex for estimates or automating WO generation. We use AI to analyze patterns from your past jobs, predicting needs like paint matching times or part lead times. This isn't generic software; it's custom-built to cut through the noise of daily chaos, reducing errors by 60% and ensuring compliance with standards like those from the Collision Repair Alliance. Shops typically see setup in 4-6 weeks, with immediate wins in throughput.
What kind of time savings can we expect from implementing this?
Based on our work with similar shops, expect 20-30 hours saved weekly across admin and floor tasks. For instance, manual parts chasing alone eats 10 hours per tech; our system automates sourcing and alerts, slashing that to under 2. Overall ROI hits 4x within months, as faster cycles mean more bays turning—and higher customer satisfaction scores. We've benchmarked against industry averages from SEMA data, where manual shops lag 25% in efficiency. Our platform accelerates that, like shifting gears from second to fifth without grinding.
Is the platform scalable for a growing auto body shop?
Absolutely—it's designed for enterprise architecture without limits. Start with core automations for a single location, then scale to handle multiple shops or fleet volumes. The backend uses robust frameworks that manage thousands of daily transactions, from VIN scans to invoice exports. As you expand, say into hail damage specialties, we add modules like seasonal forecasting without downtime. Clients report seamless growth, maintaining 99% uptime even during peak storm seasons. No more outgrowing your tools; this platform grows with you, supporting everything from 5-employee outfits to 100+ bay operations.
How do you ensure integration with our existing tools like QuickBooks or Shop-Ware?
Integration is our forte—we create deep, two-way API connections that sync data in real-time, eliminating double-entry pitfalls common in auto repairs. For QuickBooks, we automate invoice pulls and payment matching; with Shop-Ware, we feed repair data directly into your WO system. Our engineers test rigorously against automotive-specific edge cases, like variable labor rates for certified techs. Unlike superficial links that break with updates, ours are production-ready and monitored 24/7. Setup involves a quick audit of your stack, followed by custom code that feels native, boosting accuracy by 95% right away.
What support do you provide after launch?
Post-deployment, we offer ongoing optimization to keep your shop humming. This includes monthly performance reviews, tweaking AI models with fresh data from your jobs—like adjusting for rising EV repair frequencies. Training sessions ensure your team maximizes features, from mobile app updates to dashboard alerts. We provide a dedicated support line for any tweaks, with 95% issues resolved same-day. Unlike subscription vendors who ghost you, we're invested in your long-term success, helping refine metrics like gross profit per repair to stay ahead of industry benchmarks from groups like CIECA.
How secure is the platform for handling customer vehicle data?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where you're dealing with sensitive info like lienholder details or VIN histories. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like SOC 2 and GDPR equivalents for auto data. Access controls limit views to role-based needs—techs see job specs, managers get financials. Regular audits and AI anomaly detection prevent breaches, far surpassing basic no-code security. In our deployments, we've maintained zero incidents across 150+ shops, giving you peace of mind amid rising cyber threats targeting repair networks.
