The "Lead Overload" Problem
Manual lead entry for seasonal tire changes, like black Friday deals on all-terrain tires, overwhelms front desk staff during peak hours
Missed follow-ups on brake and alignment inquiries lead to lost revenue
Scattered notes across CRM and service ticketing systems cause duplicate efforts in preparing multi-vehicle tire replacement quotes
Delayed responses to online tire price checks drive customers to competitors
Inaccurate lead tracking during winter tire rushes, such as 4x4 snow tire installations, results in forgotten appointments and lost upsell opportunities for chains
Overloaded staff juggling real-time tire inventory queries for popular sizes like 225/65R17 and manual lead notes slows down service bay throughput for alignments

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time and Revenue Gains Tailored to Your Tire Shop
Reclaim 18 Hours Weekly on Manual Lead Chasing
Reclaim 18 Hours Weekly on Manual Lead Chasing: Front desk teams spend endless shifts logging inquiries for winter snow tires and chasing callbacks on brake pads. Our automation captures and routes leads instantly via SMS integration, freeing staff to focus on upselling services like wheel alignments and rotations. Shops report a 35% productivity boost, turning wasted time into additional billable hours for oil changes and inspections within the first quarter.
Achieve 28% ROI in the First Six Months
Achieve 28% ROI in the First Six Months: Manual processes cost tire shops $15,000 annually in lost opportunities from delayed snow tire quotes. By automating lead qualification and follow-up with AI-driven pricing for all-season radials, you close deals faster—converting 2x more leads on emergency brake services. This efficiency slashes customer acquisition costs by 40% while boosting average ticket values through bundled tire packages.

Result: 50% more appointments booked without hiring temps, enabling lean operations that maintain 95% bay utilization during holiday peaks.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd lose half our online leads for all-season tire quotes to follow-up delays—especially during spring alignment season when demand spikes. Now, the system auto-sends personalized texts with accurate pricing for 17-inch rims, and we've added 12 extra wheel balancing jobs a week without extra staff. It's like having a 24/7 tire specialist who never misses a callback on promotions."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Tire & Auto Pros in Denver, CO
"Our old spreadsheet chaos meant duplicate calls on fleet tire orders for commercial vans, frustrating big clients like delivery services. After implementation, leads route straight to the right service advisor, cutting response time from days to minutes for bulk snow tire pricing. Revenue from commercial accounts jumped 22% in three months—absolute game-changer for our two-bay independent shop handling DOT inspections."
Sarah Chen
Service Manager, Apex Auto & Tire Center in Seattle, WA
"Handling walk-ins for flat tire fixes and phone inquiries on brake alignments was killing our efficiency; notes got buried in voicemails amid busy mornings. The custom AI now transcribes calls and scores urgency, like flagging immediate needs for run-flat tire replacements. We've reduced no-shows by 30% for scheduled rotations and finally hit our quarterly targets two weeks ahead, even during monsoon season rushes."

What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle seasonal tire demand spikes?
Our custom AI is designed for the ebb and flow of automotive seasons. It ramps up capacity during winter or summer rushes, automatically prioritizing leads like snow tire installations. By integrating with your calendar and inventory, it books slots efficiently, preventing overload. Shops using our system report handling 2x the inquiries without added staff, cutting wait times from hours to minutes. We start with your historical data to fine-tune predictions, ensuring smooth operations when demand surges.
Will this integrate with my existing POS and CRM for tire shops?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with popular automotive tools like Shop-Ware or AutoFluent. Your leads flow directly into the CRM with tire-specific details, updating inventory in real-time to avoid quoting unavailable sizes. No more manual syncing that leads to errors. Our engineers map your exact setup during discovery, testing every connection to ensure reliability. This unified approach has helped clients eliminate data silos, saving 10+ hours weekly on reconciliation tasks.
What kind of ROI can a small tire shop expect?
For a typical 2-3 bay tire shop, expect a 25-30% ROI within six months through faster lead conversion and reduced manual work. If you're currently losing $2,000 monthly to unfollowed leads, our automation captures and nurtures them, boosting revenue by 15-20%. Time savings alone—around 15 hours per week—translate to reallocating staff to high-margin services like alignments. We provide custom benchmarks based on your data, with full dashboards to track metrics like cost per lead and appointment fill rates.
Is the system customizable for multi-location tire shops?
Yes, we build it to scale across locations, centralizing leads while respecting site-specific workflows. For instance, one shop's downtown bay focuses on quick fixes, another's on fleet tires—our AI routes accordingly. It syncs data securely across sites, with role-based access to prevent mix-ups. Clients with multiple outlets see 40% better coordination, reducing duplicate efforts. We incorporate your org structure from day one, ensuring the system feels like an extension of your operations.
How secure is the lead data for customer tire inquiries?
Security is paramount in automotive, where customer data includes sensitive details like vehicle VINs. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, building in features like audit logs for every lead interaction. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, our custom code avoids third-party vulnerabilities. Regular penetration testing ensures protection against breaches, and we train your team on best practices. Shops report zero incidents post-implementation, maintaining trust while automating efficiently.
Can it handle voice leads from customers calling about tire prices?
Our AI voice agents excel at this, transcribing and qualifying calls in real-time—like noting a customer's tire size needs or urgency for a flat repair. It responds naturally, books appointments, or escalates to staff, operating 24/7 to catch off-hours inquiries. Integrated with your knowledge base, it pulls accurate pricing without delays. This feature alone has increased response rates by 50% for clients, turning casual calls into confirmed services and reducing voicemail pile-ups.
