The "Lead Drought" Problem
Erratic customer traffic tied to seasonal weather patterns, such as increased hydroplaning risks during monsoons or pothole damage from winter freeze-thaw cycles
Wasted ad spend on generic campaigns that ignore tire-specific pain points, such as diagnosing uneven wear from misalignment or measuring tread depth below 2/32 inch for safety compliance
Overlooked fleet accounts, like local trucking companies with DOT-mandated tire inspections, driving by without targeted outreach for bulk replacements of 18-wheelers' steer and drive axles
Manual follow-ups on tire service reminders, such as 6,000-mile rotation alerts, eating hours from bay time and delaying critical installations like balancing for high-speed stability
Competing with big chains like Discount Tire that dominate online searches for 'emergency tire repair near me,' overshadowing local shops in flat tire or blowout response times
Seasonal demand spikes, such as spring pothole repairs overwhelming teams without a pipeline of pre-qualified leads for off-peak services like wheel alignments and tire rotations
Our Tailored AI Lead Engine for Tire Shops
With over a decade in automotive AI integrations, we've helped 150+ shops replace fragmented tools with unified systems that drive real results.
Why Choose Us
We don't deploy cookie-cutter software. Instead, AIQ Labs engineers a custom-built lead generation system molded to your tire shop's rhythm. Picture it like customizing a suspension setup: we analyze your local driver data, service history, and competition to create targeted campaigns. This isn't about blasting emails. It's precision engineering—scraping DMV records for vehicles due for tire checks, enriching with behavior signals like search queries for "bald tire replacement," and funneling them straight into your CRM. Short on tech staff? We handle the build, integration, and scaling, ensuring your system evolves with rising fuel costs or new tire tech trends. The result: a flexible, owned asset that fits your workflow like a perfectly balanced wheel.

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were scrambling for leads every rainy season due to hydroplaning incidents, barely hitting 20 tire sets a week on passenger vehicles. Their custom system started pulling in fleet managers from nearby logistics firms needing bulk replacements for 22.5-inch drive tires—now we're at 45 sets weekly, and our bays haven't been this full since last winter's snow tire rush."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Tire Pros in Fresno, CA
"I was skeptical about AI for a hands-on shop like ours dealing with daily tread depth checks, but after three months, the lead scoring nailed it—prioritizing customers with SUVs showing uneven wear from suspension issues. We added two new techs just to keep up with the alignment jobs, and revenue jumped 28% without extra ad budget on retreads."
Sarah Chen
Service Manager, Apex Auto Tires in Seattle, WA
"Generic tools ignored our local delivery drivers needing rotations every 5,000 miles per fleet policy. AIQ built something that scrapes job sites and enriches with VIN data for tire size matching—landed us a contract with three regional food chains for quarterly bulk rotations on van fleets, steadying cash flow year-round despite off-season lulls."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI identify potential tire customers in my area?
We start by integrating with public data sources like DMV records and local traffic cams to spot vehicles likely needing service—think cars with high mileage or in pothole-prone zones. Our custom AI then enriches this with online behaviors, such as searches for 'flat tire repair' or 'tire rotation cost.' For a tire shop in a suburban area, this means targeting minivans from family neighborhoods hitting 50,000 miles. We fine-tune the model using your past customer data, achieving 80% relevance. Unlike broad ad platforms, this is precise, reducing waste and filling your schedule with ready-to-buy drivers. Setup takes two weeks, and we monitor to adapt for seasonal shifts like summer road trips.
What makes this different from standard Google Ads for tire leads?
Google Ads casts a wide net, often wasting budget on low-intent clicks from casual browsers. Our AI lead gen is custom-built like a shop-tuned engine: it predicts intent based on tire-specific signals, such as app data showing uneven tread wear or fleet logs indicating bulk needs. We've seen shops cut ad costs by 40% while doubling qualified leads. It integrates directly into your workflow—leads auto-populate in your scheduler with notes on tire type preferences. No more sifting through junk; it's efficiency-focused for busy bays, with benchmarks showing 3x higher conversion than pay-per-click alone.
Can this system integrate with my existing tire shop software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like TireMaster, Shop-Ware, or even QuickBooks for inventory ties. For instance, when a lead converts, it triggers a stock check for their tire size, preventing overbooking on low-stock items. Our engineers map your exact workflow—say, syncing service reminders to nurture dormant customers—ensuring no manual entry. This unified setup eliminates the 'subscription chaos' of disconnected tools, creating a single dashboard for lead tracking. Shops report 30% faster processing times post-integration, and we provide full training to your team for seamless adoption.
How quickly can I see results from this lead generation service?
Most tire shops notice initial leads within the first week of launch, with meaningful volume—20-50 qualified prospects—by month one. It ramps up as the AI learns from your data, optimizing for local factors like highway commuters needing alignments. One client hit 15% booking increase in 45 days by targeting delivery vans. We track metrics like lead quality score and conversion rate from day one, adjusting campaigns weekly. Full ROI, including 25-35% revenue lift, typically materializes in 90 days, far outpacing trial-and-error marketing. It's built for your pace, scaling as your shop handles more tire installs.
Is the lead data compliant with automotive industry regulations?
Yes, we prioritize compliance from the ground up, adhering to CCPA, GDPR, and automotive-specific rules like those for vehicle data handling. Our system anonymizes personal info during scraping, only enriching with opt-in signals, and includes consent tracking for outreach. For tire shops dealing with fleet data, we ensure secure API connections that meet ISO standards. No shady tactics—everything's transparent and auditable. Clients in regulated areas, like those serving commercial trucks, have passed audits effortlessly. We build in revocation tools too, so if a lead opts out, it's instant across channels, keeping your shop protected while growing leads ethically.
What if my tire shop is small—does this scale down?
Perfectly suited for small shops with 2-5 bays. We tailor the system to your scale, starting with targeted local sourcing—perhaps 100 leads monthly from nearby zip codes—without overwhelming costs. For a solo operator, it automates outreach for basic services like rotations, integrating lightly with free tools if needed. As you grow to handle more alignments or tire sets, the AI scales effortlessly, adding features like fleet targeting. Pricing is custom, often 50% less than enterprise setups, with proven results: a 10-employee shop saw leads double in three months without hiring extra staff. It's flexible, owned by you, and grows with your business.
