The "Lead Overload" Problem
Endless inquiries from seasonal drivers inquiring about all-season tire swaps who ghost after initial quotes
Struggling to differentiate urgent fleet tire replacements for semi-trucks from casual browsers seeking passenger car alignments
Missed opportunities when high-intent customers for winter snow tires get buried in low-priority emails during peak blizzard season
Overloaded service bays from unqualified leads clogging your schedule during peak wheel alignment seasons for pothole-damaged suspensions
Generic scoring tools failing to account for local driving patterns like urban pothole wear or rural gravel road tread degradation
Wasted ad spend on retargeting drivers who browse tire rotation schedules but don't need immediate alignments or flat repairs
Our Custom-Built Lead Scoring System
With over a decade of experience engineering AI for automotive operations, we've helped tire shops like yours achieve enterprise-grade efficiency without the subscription traps.
Why Choose Us
We craft a bespoke lead scoring model tailored to your tire shop's unique workflow—from analyzing vehicle mileage logs to predicting tire replacement urgency based on regional weather data. Unlike rigid off-the-shelf tools that force your processes into their boxes, our system integrates seamlessly with your POS and CRM, scoring leads in real-time. This means your team focuses on closing deals for all-season radials or emergency flats, not sifting through noise. Built from the ground up, it's flexible, scalable, and owned by you—no more dependency on fleeting vendor updates.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency in Your Daily Operations
Skyrocket Close Rates on High-Intent Leads
Skyrocket Close Rates on High-Intent Leads: Our model identifies prospects 3x more likely to book tire services, based on benchmarks showing 42% uplift in conversions for scored leads. Imagine turning vague 'tire check' inquiries from delivery van operators into confirmed commercial tire installations within 48 hours, boosting quarterly revenue by 35%.
Slash Time Spent on Dead-End Prospects
Slash Time Spent on Dead-End Prospects: Reclaim up to 20 hours per week by automating the triage of low-value leads, like those just price-shopping for economy radials. Tire shops report 30% shorter sales cycles, freeing bays for revenue-generating wheel alignments and brake-integrated tire balances during rush hours.
Optimize Inventory for Predicted Demand
Optimize Inventory for Predicted Demand: By scoring leads against your stock of snow tires or performance radials, you reduce overstock by 25% and avoid stockouts during winter storms. This cash flow boost comes from aligning purchases with real buyer intent for studded tires, not guesswork during off-seasons like summer rotations.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were chasing every online form submission, half of which were from folks just kicking tires—literally—on our all-season radials. Their custom scoring now flags the serious ones, like that fleet manager who needed 50 commercial mud-terrain tires for his delivery fleet last quarter. Closed the deal in two days, saved us weeks of follow-up and added $15K to our books."

Owner, Reynolds Tire Pros in Denver, CO
"Integrated this right into our shop management software. Last winter, it prioritized leads from snowy Midwest areas seeking Blizzak snow tires, bumping our seasonal sales by 28%. No more generic lists; it's like having a mechanic's intuition for every prospect's tread depth needs and PSI requirements."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Urban Wheels Auto in Chicago, IL
"We handle a lot of emergency flats from delivery drivers in high-traffic zones. The AI scores them based on vehicle type like box trucks and urgency signals from dashcam reports—helped us book three big accounts in one month that our old system overlooked, each for 20+ run-flat tires. Solid ROI from day one with 40% margin improvement."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does lead scoring specifically help a tire shop during peak seasons?
Peak seasons like winter bring a flood of inquiries, but not all convert. Our custom system scores leads by factors unique to tires—such as reported low tread depth or regional weather patterns—prioritizing those likely to need immediate replacements. For instance, it might flag a lead mentioning 'slippery roads' higher than a general 'tire info' query. Tire shops using this see 35% more bookings during high-demand periods, as teams focus on urgent cases like fleet operators facing deadlines. We build it to integrate with your scheduling software, preventing bay overload from low-intent walk-ins. The result? Smoother operations and higher revenue without extra staff.
What data sources does the AI use for accurate tire lead scoring?
We pull from your shop's CRM, POS history, and website interactions, enriching with automotive-specific inputs like vehicle VINs or mileage estimates from forms. External factors include local traffic data for wear patterns and weather APIs for seasonal urgency. Unlike generic tools, our model weighs tire-relevant signals—e.g., a lead with a high-mileage SUV scores higher for all-terrain needs. This creates a 95% accurate prediction of conversion likelihood, based on our deployments. Everything stays secure and compliant, with you controlling data access. It's all custom-built to match your customer base, from daily commuters to commercial haulers.
How long does it take to implement and see results from custom lead scoring?
Implementation typically spans 4-6 weeks: one week for discovery, two for model building and integration, and the rest for testing and training. Your team sees immediate value post-launch, with dashboards live and alerts firing. Early adopters report 25% efficiency gains in the first month, like faster triage of online tire quote requests. We handle the heavy lifting, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily tire installations or rotations. Ongoing support includes quarterly tune-ups to adapt to changes, like new tire lines. It's designed for quick wins, turning lead chaos into structured opportunity without a lengthy overhaul.
Can this system integrate with my existing tire shop management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like TireMaster, Shop-Ware, or even custom POS setups common in independent shops. The scoring engine pulls lead data directly into your workflow, updating scores as prospects interact—say, viewing tire options online. This eliminates manual entry, reducing errors in tracking things like preferred tire brands. Our production-ready code ensures reliability, handling spikes from ad campaigns without lag. If your software has APIs, we're in; otherwise, we build secure bridges. Clients often see unified views of leads alongside inventory, streamlining everything from quoting to upselling during services.
What makes your lead scoring different from off-the-shelf tools for tire businesses?
Off-the-shelf options apply broad rules that ignore tire shop nuances, like distinguishing between casual inquiries and those needing urgent puncture repairs. Our custom-built system is engineered for your exact needs—factoring in local road conditions or fleet maintenance cycles—for a perfect workflow fit. It's not assembled from no-code parts; we use advanced AI frameworks for scalability, giving you ownership without recurring fees. Benchmarks show our clients achieve 40% better prioritization accuracy, leading to more closed deals on high-margin services like performance tire packages. Plus, it's flexible: adjust scoring as your shop evolves, say, adding EV tire expertise, without starting over.
Is the lead scoring system secure for handling customer vehicle data?
Security is paramount, especially with sensitive info like vehicle registrations or driving histories. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like SOC 2, ensuring data stays protected during scoring. Access is role-based—your sales team sees only necessary insights, like a lead's estimated tire wear score, without exposing full details. Regular audits and anonymization techniques prevent breaches, drawing from our experience in regulated automotive AI. For tire shops, this means confident use of data from warranty claims or service logs to refine scores, boosting trust and conversions without risk. We provide full documentation and can align with your existing compliance needs.
