Join 150+ automotive businesses with seamless, owned AI operations
The "Fragmented Operations" Problem
Manual tire inventory tracking leads to frequent stockouts of high-demand all-season radials during peak summer road trip seasons
Disconnected scheduling systems cause double-bookings for four-wheel alignments, resulting in frustrated customers waiting up to two hours in the lobby
Inaccurate demand forecasting results in excess slow-moving inventory of winter snow tires tying up capital post-season
Siloed customer data hinders personalized recommendations for tire rotations or upgrades to run-flat tires based on mileage logs
Labor-intensive invoice processing delays payments from fleet clients, straining cash flow
Broken integrations between POS and service bays slow down wheel balancing workflows, causing backups during high-volume tire installations
Your Tailored AI Multi-Service Solution for Tire Efficiency
With over a decade building enterprise-grade systems for automotive SMBs, we've empowered 200+ shops to ditch off-the-shelf limitations.
Why Choose Us
One-size-fits-all tools like HubSpot or Zapier force tire shops into rigid molds, ignoring the chaos of seasonal tire changes and urgent roadside calls. We craft custom AI workflows from the ground up, integrating your POS, inventory trackers, and CRM into a unified system you own outright. No subscriptions. Just proven, flexible automation that mirrors your shop's unique pace—like a perfectly balanced wheelset, spinning smoothly without the wobbles of vendor lock-in.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Gains That Drive Real Results
Eliminate Stockouts and Overstock
Eliminate Stockouts and Overstock: Our AI forecasting analyzes local weather patterns, vehicle registration data from DMV feeds, and peak-hour traffic from telematics, ensuring you stock the right tires like performance summer radials for road trip rushes. Shops see <span class="gradient">20-30%</span> reduction in inventory costs within the first quarter, freeing cash for adding two new alignment bays.
Boost Appointment Fill Rates
Boost Appointment Fill Rates: Automated scheduling syncs with technician availability for services like brake alignments and sends AI-driven SMS reminders, cutting no-shows by half within 30 days. Expect <span class="gradient">25%</span> more booked slots for tire rotations, translating to higher throughput in your service lanes during weekday evenings.
Personalize Customer Interactions
Personalize Customer Interactions: AI scans service history from OBD-II logs to suggest tire upgrades like switching to low-rolling-resistance models during routine oil changes, increasing upsell revenue by <span class="gradient">15%</span> per visit. Your team focuses on wrench-turning in the bays, not data digging in legacy CRM systems.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried in spreadsheets for tire counts—lost a whole weekend's sales to a stockout on Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires during the first snow. Now, the system flags low stock on radials automatically based on local forecast data, and we've cut excess inventory by 18% in six months. It's like having an extra manager who never sleeps, keeping our bays stocked without overbuying."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Tire Pros in Sacramento, CA
"Scheduling mix-ups were killing us during busy seasons; customers bailed when our Hunter alignment racks were double-booked for SUV tire services. Their custom AI integrated our Shop-Ware calendar with the front desk POS seamlessly, reducing no-shows from 20% to 7% in just two months—finally, we're running on time with full bays every shift."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Apex Auto Tires in Denver, CO
"We juggled three apps for invoicing fleet deliveries of Michelin commercial tires, and payments lagged by weeks, delaying our Goodyear restock orders. AIQ's automation handles approvals and QuickBooks sync now, streamlining DOT-compliant billing. Cash flow improved noticeably; we paid off a bay upgrade loan three months early without the usual scramble during fleet season."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this differ from using HubSpot for my tire shop's CRM?
HubSpot excels at broad marketing but falls short on tire-specific ops like inventory syncing or bay scheduling—it's a rented tool with limits on custom automations. Our multi-service solution builds a owned AI system tailored to your shop: forecasting tire needs based on local mileage patterns, automating alignments bookings, and integrating with your POS for seamless upsells. No subscription creep; you own it outright, cutting long-term costs by 60% per industry benchmarks from Tire Business reports. We've seen shops reduce manual entry by 35 hours weekly, focusing instead on high-margin services.
Can this system handle seasonal tire changes without disrupting my workflow?
Absolutely. We design for the tire industry's peaks, like spring all-season swaps. The AI analyzes past seasons' data—say, a 40% spike in SUV tires—to auto-adjust stock levels and alert suppliers. Unlike Zapier's one-way zaps that break under volume, our two-way integrations ensure smooth transitions: customer appointments auto-populate with tire type recommendations, and bays get prepped with exact specs. One client, a mid-sized shop, handled a 25% volume surge without overtime, thanks to predictive scheduling. Deployment takes 4-6 weeks, with minimal downtime.
What if my shop uses existing software like Shop-Ware?
We specialize in deep integrations with automotive staples like Shop-Ware, pulling in service records to fuel AI insights on tire wear. No ripping out your current setup—our custom builds layer on top, creating a unified view: track a customer's alignment history alongside tire pressure data for proactive recommendations. This avoids the fragmentation of off-the-shelf tools, where data silos lead to errors like mismatched wheel sizes. Expect 95% data accuracy post-integration, based on our deployments. We start with a free audit to map exact compatibilities, ensuring zero workflow hiccups.
How much does a custom multi-service AI system cost for a tire shop?
Pricing is bespoke, starting at $25,000 for a core setup covering inventory, scheduling, and CRM—far below the $50K+ annual bleed from multiple subscriptions like HubSpot and Zapier combined. Factors include your shop size (e.g., 4-10 bays) and features like voice AI for customer calls. ROI hits fast: clients recoup in 6-9 months via 20% efficiency gains, per NAPA benchmarks. No hidden fees; you own the code, scaling costs only if you expand locations. Our consultation maps your exact needs for a precise quote, often 30-50% less than piecing together rented tools.
Is the system secure for handling customer vehicle data?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where VINs and service histories are sensitive. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, plus tire industry specifics for fleet data. Unlike cloud-only SaaS with shared vulnerabilities, your owned system runs on secure, private infrastructure—custom firewalls block unauthorized access to bay schedules or inventory logs. We've audited 100+ deployments with zero breaches. Features include role-based access (e.g., techs see only assignments) and AI anomaly detection for unusual login attempts. Full handover includes ongoing support blueprints for your IT team.
How long until we see results from the AI implementation?
Quick wins emerge in weeks: post-launch, inventory alerts reduce stockouts immediately, and scheduling automation cuts no-shows within the first month. Full benefits, like 25% revenue uplift from personalized tire upsells, build over 3-6 months as AI learns your patterns—e.g., correlating rainy seasons with all-terrain demand. Unlike Make.com's trial-and-error setups, our proven framework deploys in 4-8 weeks, with phased rollouts to minimize bay disruptions. Track progress via custom KPIs; one shop reported 15% throughput increase by week 8, validating the efficiency focus.
