The "Lead Leak" Problem
Leads from insurance referrals for collision repairs vanish without instant follow-up in a competitive auto body market, where average lead conversion drops 40% without automation
Manual tracking of customer paint codes, VIN-specific repair histories, and alloy wheel preferences leads to color mismatch errors and missed upsells on premium finishes
Scheduling PDR (paintless dent repair) jobs around fluctuating shop capacity and technician availability eats 2-3 hours of admin time daily during peak seasons
Generic email blasts fail to address specific vehicle damage like quarter panel dents or clear coat scratches, dropping engagement rates by up to 70% in targeted repair campaigns
Post-repair follow-ups for alignment checks or warranty inspections get buried in service order paperwork, missing chances for Google reviews and referral bonuses from satisfied fleet clients
Inventory alerts for OEM parts like front bumpers or headlight assemblies ignore real-time demand spikes from hail season rushes, causing 20-30% delays in turnaround times

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd lose half our insurance leads for fender bender repairs because follow-ups took forever amid the daily rush. Now, automated emails with personalized dent repair quotes hit within minutes of a claim submission, and we've booked 20 more PDR jobs this quarter alone, adding $45K to our revenue. It's like having an extra salesperson who never clocks out during peak season."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Precision Auto Body in Denver, CO
"I was drowning in scheduling conflicts for collision estimates during peak accident season after winter storms. Their custom system syncs inquiries straight to our estimating software and personalizes SMS reminders based on the damage type, like quarter panel work. Saved us about 12 hours a week on admin, and repeat customers for follow-up alignments are up 25% after targeted nurture campaigns."
Sarah Lopez
Operations Manager, Elite Collision Center in Atlanta, GA
"Generic tools didn't get our shop's needs—like tracking frame damage specifics from rollover accidents or OEM part preferences. AIQ built something that automates nurture sequences for those high-value clients, sending tailored offers for suspension upgrades, and our Google review scores jumped from 3.8 to 4.7 in just three months. Real difference, no fluff—it's transformed our referral pipeline."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle high-volume periods like after a major storm?
Our custom systems are engineered for automotive peaks, scaling effortlessly to process hundreds of collision leads daily. We integrate directly with your shop's intake process, prioritizing urgent repairs like frame damage while automating triage emails. Shops using our solution handled a 300% lead surge last winter without added staff, converting 28% more into bookings through intelligent routing. It's built tough, like your shop's lifts, ensuring no lead slips through during crunch time.
Will this work with our existing repair software like Shop-Ware?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like Shop-Ware, Mitchell, or CCC Pathways. Our team maps your workflows— from estimate approvals to parts ordering—and builds automations that pull repair data to trigger targeted marketing, such as follow-ups for alloy wheel refinishing. No more manual exports; everything flows seamlessly, reducing errors by 40% and saving your estimators hours weekly. We've done this for dozens of body shops, ensuring compatibility from day one.
What kind of ROI can an auto body shop expect?
Expect a 4x ROI in the first year, based on benchmarks from our automotive clients. For a mid-sized shop, this translates to $100K+ in added revenue from automated lead nurturing and repeat business, offset by our one-time build cost. We track metrics like cost-per-lead (down 35%) and lifetime value from services like paint matching. One client recouped investment in four months through higher conversion on fender repair inquiries. It's not hype—our systems deliver hard numbers tied to your bay utilization.
Is the system customizable for different shop specialties, like classic car restoration?
Yes, we tailor every aspect to your niche. For a classic restoration shop, we'd automate campaigns highlighting vintage paint jobs or custom panel beating, pulling from your specialized inventory data. The AI learns your customer profiles—say, enthusiasts seeking authentic chrome work—and personalizes outreach accordingly. This approach has helped specialty shops increase engagement by 50%, turning one-off repairs into loyal, high-value relationships without generic blasts.
How secure is the customer data in these automations?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive details like vehicle VINs and repair photos. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and compliance to standards like GDPR and CCPA, ensuring data from insurance claims stays protected. Access controls limit who sees what, and our systems log every interaction for audits. Unlike cloud-heavy alternatives, your owned solution minimizes breach risks— we've audited integrations for body shops handling fleet data, maintaining 100% uptime and zero incidents over years of deployment.
Can we start small and expand later?
Definitely. We begin with core automations, like lead follow-up for common services such as bumper replacements, then scale to full personalization as you grow. Phased rollout means quick wins—your team sees time savings in weeks—while we add features like predictive parts marketing. This modular build has allowed shops to expand from basic email flows to comprehensive systems supporting multiple locations, all without disrupting daily operations.
