We build custom AI systems from the ground up, integrating your shop management software, inventory trackers, and insurance portals into one owned platform. Think of it as upgrading from a stock engine to a high-performance custom build—optimized for your workflow, scalable as your shop grows, and free from vendor dependencies. Our enterprise-grade automations handle everything from AI-assisted damage quotes to predictive parts sourcing, ensuring precision in every repair cycle.

Seamless integration of QuickBooks, Shop-Ware, and insurer APIs for error-free data flow

Custom AI models trained on your historical repair data for accurate forecasting

Flexible, modular design that evolves with your shop's unique service mix

Unlock Efficiency Gains That Drive Your Shop Forward

Accelerated Repair Turnaround

Accelerated Repair Turnaround: Our custom AI slashes vehicle downtime by 35%, as proven in benchmarks from shops handling 200+ collisions quarterly, including frame pulls and panel replacements. No more waiting on manual estimates—AI analyzes uploaded photos of dents and scratches for instant damage reports with severity ratings, freeing bays for the next rear-end collision.

Optimized Inventory and Cost Control

Optimized Inventory and Cost Control: Predictive forecasting reduces overstock by 28%, mirroring results from mid-sized shops we've partnered with that service sedans and SUVs. AI scans repair patterns from past jobs—like frequent bumper and grille orders—to auto-order OEM parts from suppliers, preventing frantic last-minute runs to salvage yards that eat into profits during peak seasons.

Ironclad Compliance and Claim Accuracy

Ironclad Compliance and Claim Accuracy: Streamline insurance interactions to boost approval rates by 45% for total loss and partial repair claims. Our systems generate detailed, AI-verified reports with annotated photos of unibody damage and labor estimates that satisfy adjusters on the first pass, cutting administrative drag and accelerating reimbursements within 7-10 days for frame and body work.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried in spreadsheets for every dent and frame damage estimate—it took hours per collision. Now, their custom system pulls in damage photos from the hoist and spits out quotes in minutes, including torque specs for alignments. Last quarter, we handled 120 repairs without a single scheduling mix-up, and our techs are finishing early enough to take on weekend hail damage jobs."

Mike Reynolds

Shop Manager, Precision Auto Body in Denver, CO

"Parts delays were killing us during hail season; we'd lose days chasing suppliers for quarter panels and windshields. The AI inventory tool they built forecasts needs based on our local weather patterns and past jobs, integrating with our I-CAR certified workflows. We've cut stockouts by half in the last six months, and cash flow's steadier—no more tying up capital in excess bumpers or radiators."

Sarah Kline

Operations Director, Elite Collision Center in Chicago, IL

"Insurance claims used to drag on for weeks, with back-and-forth emails over structural integrity photos. Their platform automates the whole process, attaching repair photos, VIN-specific notes, and DRP estimates directly to the portal. We got paid 40% faster on our last 50 claims involving unibody frames, which let us expand our downdraft paint booth without borrowing from the bank."

Common Questions

How does your custom system differ from Jobber for auto body shops?

Jobber offers a solid starting point for general field services, but it's not tuned for the precision of collision repairs—like integrating frame machine data or handling variable insurance workflows. We build a bespoke AI platform that owns your data, eliminates monthly fees, and scales with specifics like paint mixing ratios or dent puller scheduling. Shops switching to us report 35% less admin time, as our system automates end-to-end from intake to payout. No more fighting rigid templates; it's engineered for your shop's rhythm, ensuring flexibility without vendor lock-in.

What kind of integration does it support with my existing shop tools?

We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with automotive staples like Shop-Ware, Mitchell, or CCC Pathways for estimates, plus QuickBooks for billing and inventory systems like PartsTech. Our engineers map your current setup—say, syncing repair orders with supplier APIs to auto-flag backordered panels—and build secure connections that update in real-time. This creates a unified hub, cutting manual entries that plague 70% of shops. We've handled complex cases, like linking dash cam footage to claims, ensuring your workflow hums without disruptions.

How long until we see results from the custom AI implementation?

Most auto body shops experience quick wins within 2-4 weeks of deployment, with full optimization by month three. We start with high-impact automations, like AI photo analysis for quotes, which can shave hours off daily estimates right away. Based on our work with similar operations, expect 25-40% efficiency gains in repair throughput. Ongoing tweaks, informed by your usage data, keep it sharp—think predictive alerts for busy seasons. It's not a big-bang rollout; we phase it to minimize downtime, so your bays stay productive from day one.

Is this solution scalable as my shop grows or adds services?

Absolutely—our architecture is designed for growth, from handling 100 vehicles a month to 500, without performance dips. As you expand into EV battery repairs or custom detailing, we modularize the system to incorporate new modules, like specialized AI for structural integrity checks. Unlike subscription tools that cap features, you own the core, allowing unlimited customizations. Clients who've scaled with us report seamless transitions, maintaining 98% uptime even during peak fender-bender surges. We provide roadmap consultations to future-proof against industry shifts.

What about data security for sensitive repair and customer info?

Security is paramount in automotive, where you're dealing with VINs, insurance details, and customer vehicles. We use enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with SOC 2 and GDPR standards, hosting on AWS with role-based access so only authorized techs see bay assignments. Custom audits ensure no leaks during integrations, like securing photo uploads for damage reports. We've fortified systems for shops facing cyber threats, reducing breach risks by 60% through AI anomaly detection. Your data stays yours— no third-party access like with off-the-shelf platforms.

Can this replace multiple tools I'm currently using?

Yes, our unified system consolidates the 'subscription chaos' of tools like Zapier for automations, HubSpot for customer comms, and basic inventory apps. We replicate and enhance their functions—e.g., AI-powered lead scoring for fleet outreach—into one owned platform, slashing costs by 50-70% for mid-sized shops. It handles multi-service needs, from collision to mechanical, with custom UIs for your team. Post-implementation, clients ditch 5-8 tools, gaining a single source of truth that boosts efficiency without the integration headaches.
