Join 150+ automotive businesses with 40% faster turnaround times
The "Shop Floor Bottleneck" Problem
Manual parts ordering for OEM components eats into repair time, often delaying transmission rebuilds by 2-4 hours per job
Inaccurate OBD-II diagnostics lead to repeat visits for misdiagnosed ABS or ECM issues
Paper-based invoicing delays cash flow
Scheduling conflicts for lift bay usage cause downtime, stranding vehicles awaiting wheel alignments or exhaust repairs
Inventory mismatches for high-turnover items like air filters or serpentine belts result in emergency supplier runs during peak oil change seasons
Customer follow-up for warranty recalls or post-repair checkups slips through manual CRM logs

We craft a unified AI platform tailored to your shop's rhythm. Forget juggling QuickBooks, Shop-Ware, and endless spreadsheets. Our builders integrate diagnostics tools, parts suppliers, and CRM into one seamless system. Like upgrading from a rusty carburetor to a fuel-injected powerhouse, it runs smoother, faster, and scales without breaking. We handle the heavy lifting—custom code, deep APIs, and real-time dashboards—so you focus on turning wrenches.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Gains in Shop Efficiency
Slash Diagnostic Time by 40%
Slash Diagnostic Time by 40%: Technicians spend less time buried in OEM service manuals or trial-and-error fixes on complex systems like CAN bus networks. Our AI cross-references symptoms with OEM databases and integrates with existing scan tools, delivering accurate recommendations in seconds. Shops report completing alignments and brake jobs 25% faster, freeing bays for more revenue-generating work and hitting industry benchmarks of 85% utilization—translating to an extra 5-7 jobs per week in a typical 4-bay shop.
Boost ROI with 3x Faster Inventory Turns
Boost ROI with 3x Faster Inventory Turns: No more overstocking brake pads or scrambling for rare fuel injectors during high-volume seasons. Predictive AI analyzes repair patterns from service records, supplier lead times, and local demand for EV components, optimizing stock levels. Expect 15-20 hours saved weekly on ordering tasks, with a typical 6-month ROI through reduced holding costs—vital when margins hover at 20% in competitive markets facing rising parts prices.
Increase Productivity by 35% Through Automation
Increase Productivity by 35% Through Automation: From automated SMS reminders for oil changes to AI-generated digital service histories compliant with ASE standards, manual drudgery vanishes. Front desk staff handle 50% more calls without added headcount, while backend processes like invoicing for tire rotations sync directly to QuickBooks or shop management software. This efficiency surge directly lifts your shop's output, targeting the 10-15% annual growth auto repair chains demand amid labor shortages.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd lose half a day chasing OEM transmission gears for a single rebuild job. Now, the system flags needs ahead of time based on our repair history—we fixed that bottleneck and bumped our monthly jobs from 120 to 160 without hiring extra techs. It's like having an extra mechanic who never sleeps, especially during our busy fall alignment rush."
Mike Harlan
Owner, Harlan Auto Repair (4-bay independent shop in suburban Chicago)
"Our old scheduling was a mess; double-bookings on lift bays cost us $2,000 in lost revenue last quarter from delayed exhaust repairs. After implementing their platform, AI optimizes bays based on job types like brakes versus diagnostics, and we've cut no-shows by 60% with automated text reminders. Real difference for a shop running on thin margins in a multi-location chain."
Sara Lopez
Operations Manager, Precision Tune Shops (3-location franchise in Texas)
"Diagnostics used to take 45 minutes per vehicle on tricky ECM fault codes, frustrating customers waiting for their daily drivers. Their AI integration with our Launch scan tools now gives us spot-on suggestions in under 5 minutes, pinpointing issues like faulty oxygen sensors. We've seen a 25% uptick in positive Google reviews and repeat business since going live three months ago, with fewer comebacks on electrical repairs."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this platform integrate with my existing shop management software?
We specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations with tools like Shop-Ware, Tekmetric, or Mitchell 1. Our team maps your data flows—such as repair orders to parts inventory—using custom APIs that ensure real-time sync without disrupting operations. For a typical auto repair shop, this means diagnostic results automatically trigger parts orders, eliminating double-entry errors that plague 70% of manual setups. We've deployed this in over 50 shops, achieving 99% uptime and cutting integration time from weeks to days. Your system becomes a unified hub, scalable as you add EV diagnostics or fleet services.
What kind of time savings can a small repair shop expect?
Shops with 5-10 bays typically reclaim 20-30 hours weekly. Manual tasks like parts chasing and invoice matching, which consume 40% of admin time per industry reports, get automated. For example, AI-driven scheduling fills gaps from no-shows, boosting utilization from 70% to 90%. One client, a 15-employee shop, saw ROI in four months through $15,000 in annual labor savings. We baseline your current workflows during discovery to project exact gains, focusing on high-impact areas like diagnostics that directly affect your daily throughput.
Is the platform secure for handling sensitive customer and vehicle data?
Absolutely—security is non-negotiable in automotive, where VINs and payment info demand protection. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based access, ensuring only authorized techs view repair histories. Unlike off-the-shelf tools prone to breaches, our custom systems include audit logs for every action, vital for liability in collision repairs. We've fortified platforms for shops dealing with insurance claims, preventing the data leaks that hit 25% of small businesses yearly. Regular pentests and updates keep you ahead of evolving threats like ransomware targeting supply chains.
Can it handle growth if my shop expands to multiple locations?
Yes, our architecture is designed for scale, supporting unlimited locations without performance dips. Centralized dashboards let you monitor inventory across sites, while localized AI adapts to regional repair patterns—like more rust jobs in snowy areas. A chain client grew from two to five shops, integrating fleet tracking seamlessly; their system now handles 500+ jobs weekly with zero added IT overhead. We future-proof with modular code, so adding EV charging scheduling or remote diagnostics won't require a rebuild. This enterprise mindset ensures your investment compounds as revenue scales from $1M to $5M.
How much does implementation cost, and what's the ROI timeline?
Costs start at $25,000 for a core setup, customized to your shop size—far less than the $50,000+ in lost productivity from inefficiencies. ROI hits in 4-6 months for most, with 30% cost reductions via automation. Take a mid-sized shop: They saved $8,000 quarterly on manual invoicing alone, per our benchmarks. We provide a detailed projection post-audit, factoring your margins and job volume. Unlike subscription models averaging $2,000/month indefinitely, you own the system outright, yielding compounding returns as efficiency boosts hit 35% within year one.
Will my team need training to use the AI features?
Minimal— we prioritize intuitive design, like voice commands mimicking a shop radio call. Onboarding takes 4-6 hours, focused on key features such as AI diagnostics that feel like an experienced colleague suggesting fixes. For techs used to scanning codes manually, the transition is seamless; one shop reported full adoption in two weeks. We include ongoing support and micro-training modules tailored to auto repair workflows, ensuring 90% usage rates. This empowers your staff without the steep learning curves of generic tools, keeping focus on vehicles, not screens.
