The "Lead Overload" Problem
Endless online inquiries from price shoppers seeking low-cost tire quotes who never book services like rotations or alignments
Difficulty distinguishing urgent wheel alignment needs from casual browsers inquiring about tire sizes without symptoms like vehicle pulling or uneven tread wear
Missed revenue from walk-ins seeking budget tires but open to premium upgrades like all-season radials or run-flat options for better handling
Overloaded service bays from unqualified leads delaying high-value tire installations, such as multi-vehicle fleet orders or performance tire sets
Seasonal spikes in tire change requests, like winter-to-summer swaps, overwhelming staff without priority scoring based on tread depth or mileage
Inaccurate follow-up on fleet tire maintenance leads, such as commercial van retreads or tractor-trailer inspections, losing repeat business from logistics firms

This predictive system scores leads in real-time, flagging high-value prospects for immediate tire sales or alignments. No more one-size-fits-all limitations. It's flexible, scalable, and owned by you—integrated seamlessly with your CRM and scheduling software for a unified workflow that drives efficiency.
What Makes Us Different:
Proven Results for Tire Shop Efficiency
Higher Conversion Rates on Tire Services
Higher Conversion Rates on Tire Services: Our custom models boost close rates by 35%, focusing your team on leads with 80%+ purchase intent for services like tire rotations and alignments. For a mid-sized tire shop handling 20 weekly inquiries on all-terrain tires, this means turning them into 14 booked appointments within 48 hours, adding $8,000 monthly in revenue from tire sales and related wheel services.
Streamlined Service Bay Scheduling
Streamlined Service Bay Scheduling: Prioritize leads ready for immediate tire installations, such as those reporting vibrations from worn-out radials, reducing bay downtime by 25%. Shops report scheduling 15% more jobs per week without adding staff, as the AI flags urgent needs from high-mileage drivers exceeding 50,000 miles on current tires.
Increased Upsell Opportunities
Increased Upsell Opportunities: Score leads for add-on potential, like recommending nitrogen inflation or TPMS recalibration with new tire purchases, lifting average ticket value by 22%. One client saw $12,000 extra quarterly from targeted promotions to scored prospects seeking performance tire upgrades for SUVs, based on vehicle type and driving patterns.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried under tire quote requests for economy radials that went nowhere—wasting hours on follow-ups for basic inquiries. Their custom scoring system now ranks leads by urgency, like spotting fleet managers needing bulk tire changes for delivery vans. In the first three months, our conversion jumped from 18% to 42%, and we're booking 10 more tire and alignment services weekly without extra marketing spend."
Mike Rodriguez
General Manager, Metro Tires & Auto Service Center
"Tire shops deal with seasonal rushes for winter tire installations, but generic tools couldn't handle our mix of retail passenger cars and commercial truck leads. AIQ built a system that scores based on vehicle data like tread depth and local road conditions in snowy regions, helping us prioritize alignments during rainy seasons. We've cut no-shows by half and added $25,000 in winter tire sales last quarter—it's like having an extra salesperson who never sleeps."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, Precision Tire Pros & Fleet Services
"I was skeptical about AI for our small shop, but their lead scoring integrated perfectly with our scheduling app for tire rotations and balance checks. Now, we focus on high-score leads reporting uneven wear patterns, which has freed up bays for bigger jobs like full wheel assemblies. Revenue per lead is up 28%, and my team spends less time chasing ghosts—real results in under two months with minimal setup."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does lead scoring specifically help tire shops during seasonal rushes?
Tire shops face intense peaks, like fall/winter changes, where leads flood in but most fizzle. Our custom AI analyzes patterns—vehicle types, query urgency, past service data—to score leads on conversion odds. High scores go to urgent needs, like low-tread alerts, prioritizing bay time. Clients see 30% faster throughput, turning chaos into $10,000+ extra revenue per season. We tailor to your location's weather data, ensuring accuracy beyond generic tools. Setup takes 4-6 weeks, with ongoing tweaks for evolving demands.
What data sources does the system use for automotive lead scoring?
We pull from your shop's ecosystem: CRM entries, website analytics, POS records, and even external automotive feeds like mileage estimators. For tire specifics, it factors in VIN-decoded vehicle age, regional road conditions, and inquiry keywords like 'bald tires.' No generic inputs—it's all custom to predict buys for services from rotations to premium tires. This creates a 85% accuracy rate in flagging converters, far above industry benchmarks of 60%. Privacy is baked in, compliant with data regs for small businesses.
Can this integrate with our existing tire shop software?
Absolutely. We build two-way API connections to popular tools like Shop-Ware, Mitchell1, or QuickBooks, syncing lead scores directly into your workflow. For example, a high-score lead for tire installation auto-populates in scheduling, with notes on upsell potential like alignments. No more manual entry errors that cost shops hours weekly. Our engineers handle the heavy lifting, ensuring seamless operation even during high-volume days. Post-launch, we provide support to scale as your shop grows, avoiding the integration headaches of off-the-shelf apps.
How much does a custom lead scoring system cost for a tire shop?
Pricing starts at $15,000 for a full build, tailored to your shop size—single location vs. chain—and data complexity. This includes discovery, model training, integration, and three months of optimization. ROI hits fast: Clients recoup costs in 4-6 months via 25-40% higher conversions on tire services. Unlike subscriptions averaging $2,000/month elsewhere, you own it outright, with optional $500/month maintenance. We offer a free audit to estimate your exact fit and projected gains based on current lead volume.
What if we're a small tire shop with limited data history?
Small shops often start with sparse data, but our approach bootstraps effectively. We supplement your records with anonymized industry benchmarks for tire inquiries, then train the AI iteratively as new leads come in. Early adopters see 20% lifts in scoring accuracy within weeks, focusing on basics like call duration and service keywords. Over time, it learns your nuances, like local fleet preferences for commercial tires. No minimum data threshold— we've deployed for shops with under 500 historical leads, delivering quick wins without overwhelming your operations.
How do you measure success for tire shop lead scoring?
Success ties to tangible automotive metrics: conversion rate on scored leads (target 35%+), revenue per qualified inquiry (aim for $150+ on tires), and bay utilization (reduce idle time by 20%). We build in custom KPIs, tracking how many high-score leads lead to booked tire jobs versus low ones. Monthly reports show deltas, like a 28% upsell increase on alignments. Unlike vague dashboards, ours benchmarks against tire industry standards, with A/B tests to refine. Clients get full access, empowering data-driven decisions for sustained growth.
