The "Lead Overload" Problem

Drowning in inquiries from tire-kickers searching for 'free alignment checks' who never book actual wheel alignments

Manual sorting of calls about routine oil changes versus major engine diagnostics like timing belt failures

Losing high-value fleet clients to competitors who respond faster to urgent breakdowns like transmission failures in delivery vans

Inaccurate predictions on seasonal surges like pre-winter all-season tire installations and 4-wheel alignments

Wasted ad spend targeting low-intent drivers searching for 'cheap auto shops near me' without intent for brake pad replacements

Overloaded technicians chasing leads that fizzle out before diagnostic bookings for issues like ABS sensor faults

Tailored Lead Scoring Built for Your Shop's Workflow

We craft a bespoke AI model that dissects your leads through an automotive lens—factoring in vehicle mileage from inquiries, service history patterns, and even local traffic data for breakdown likelihood. It's like having a master mechanic sizing up a customer's ride at first glance: quick, accurate, and dead-on for prioritizing jobs that fill your bays. This custom build integrates seamlessly with your shop management software, turning raw data into a prioritized queue that matches your exact operational rhythm.

What Makes Us Different:

Predictive algorithms tuned to auto repair signals, like urgency in transmission complaints

Real-time scoring that adapts to your peak seasons, from summer AC checks to winter prep

Deep integration with tools like Shop-Ware or Mitchell 1 for instant lead-to-booking flow

Unlock Efficiency That Drives Revenue

Skyrocket Close Rates on High-Intent Leads

Skyrocket Close Rates on High-Intent Leads: Imagine slashing time on no-shows by 40% for services like suspension repairs. Our custom system flags leads with proven conversion signals—like repeat visitors searching for 'emergency brake repair near me' or mentioning check engine lights—freeing your team to book 25% more full diagnostics per week, including OBD-II scans. Shops see ROI in under 90 days through targeted follow-ups that convert browsers into loyal customers scheduling annual tune-ups.

Optimize Technician Schedules for Peak Productivity

Optimize Technician Schedules for Peak Productivity: No more empty bays from misprioritized jobs like routine tire rotations over high-value exhaust system replacements. By scoring leads on factors like estimated repair value (e.g., $800+ for catalytic converter fixes) and turnaround time, we ensure your crew tackles high-margin work first—boosting billable hours by 30% while reducing overtime during peak seasons. It's efficiency engineered for the grind of back-to-back alignments, fluid flushes, and diagnostic bays.

Cut Marketing Waste and Amplify ROI

Cut Marketing Waste and Amplify ROI: Stop pouring budget into broad Google Ads that attract price-shoppers querying 'budget oil changes.' Our AI refines targeting to true prospects, like fleet managers needing urgent maintenance for commercial truck alignments or AC compressor failures, yielding a 3x lift in qualified leads. Track every dollar back to booked services with dashboards showing real metrics like cost-per-conversion dropping from $50 to $15 for high-ticket items like transmission rebuilds.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, we'd chase every voicemail about a check engine light, but only half showed up for the OBD scan. Now, their scoring system ranks leads by urgency—we booked 15 extra jobs last month alone, mostly from fleet drivers who needed immediate wheel alignments after pothole damage. It's transformed our bay utilization from 65% to 92%."

Mike Rodriguez

Service Manager, Precision Auto Repair in Denver, CO

"I was skeptical, but after integrating their custom scorer with our Tekmetric system, we cut follow-ups on low-potential leads by 60%. Last quarter, that meant 12 more transmission overhauls instead of chasing oil change no-shows. Revenue up 22% without adding staff, thanks to prioritizing high-value jobs like radiator replacements."

Sarah Jenkins

Owner, Jenkins Family Garage in Atlanta, GA

"Dealing with seasonal rushes was chaos—too many inquiries for winter tire rotations, not enough real commitments for full 4-wheel alignments. AIQ's model predicts who'll actually come in, helping us staff right for snow prep diagnostics. We handled a 40% surge in winter services without overtime, and our customer satisfaction scores jumped from 4.2 to 4.8 on Google reviews."

Common Questions

How does your lead scoring differ from standard CRM tools for auto shops?

Unlike off-the-shelf CRMs that apply blanket rules, our custom AI analyzes automotive-specific signals—like inquiry keywords around 'transmission slipping' or mileage data from forms—to assign precise scores. For a mid-sized shop, this means distinguishing a one-off oil change lead from a potential $2,000 suspension job. We build it to integrate with your exact setup, reducing false positives by 45% based on our deployments. The result? Your team focuses on leads with 70%+ conversion probability, not guesswork. It's flexible too—adjustable as your services evolve, like adding hybrid battery checks.

What data do you need to build the scoring model for my repair shop?

We start with your historical lead data: past inquiries, conversion outcomes, service types booked, and basic customer details like vehicle make and urgency indicators. No need for massive datasets; even 6-12 months of records from your shop management system suffices to train the model. We handle the rest, anonymizing sensitive info and ensuring GDPR compliance. For example, if your logs show patterns in summer AC repair leads, we'll prioritize those. The process is collaborative—we map your workflow first to make sure the AI captures nuances like local fleet contracts.

How long does it take to see results from your lead scoring solution?

Most shops notice improvements within the first two weeks after launch, with full optimization by month two. Initially, we score leads in real-time, helping prioritize 20-30% more high-intent prospects right away—like urgent brake inquiries over general tune-ups. Over time, as the AI learns from your data, conversion rates climb 25-40%, per our benchmarks. Take a client with 50 weekly leads: They went from 15 bookings to 28 in the first quarter. We provide weekly performance reviews to tweak and accelerate gains, tailored to your shop's volume.

Can this integrate with my existing auto shop software?

Absolutely—our solutions are designed for deep, two-way integrations with platforms like Shopmonkey, AutoLeap, or QuickBooks for invoicing tie-ins. We use secure APIs to pull lead data and push scores directly into your queues, eliminating manual transfers. For instance, a scored lead for exhaust repair auto-populates the technician's schedule with estimated time and parts. If your setup involves custom fields, like warranty status, we customize the connection. Post-integration, it's hands-off, with 99% uptime to keep your operations humming during peak hours.

Is the lead scoring system scalable if my shop grows or adds locations?

Yes, our architecture is built for scale—from solo operations to multi-site chains. The core model centralizes scoring logic, adapting to increased lead volume without performance dips. If you expand, we incorporate location-specific factors, like regional demand for rust repairs in snowy areas. A client grew from one to three shops and saw uniform 35% efficiency gains across sites. Ownership means no per-lead fees; it's a fixed asset that grows with you, including features like cross-location lead sharing for overflow work.

How do you ensure the AI respects customer privacy in auto repair leads?

Privacy is non-negotiable in our builds. We adhere to standards like CCPA and auto industry guidelines, anonymizing personal data during training—using aggregates like 'vehicle type' instead of names. Scores generate without storing unnecessary details, and all integrations use encrypted APIs. For example, VIN data for scoring is hashed and discarded post-analysis. We've audited our systems for compliance, ensuring shops avoid fines while handling sensitive info like service histories. Clients get full transparency with data flow reports, so you control what enters the model.
