The "Manual Marketing" Problem

Chasing down overdue service reminders for fleet clients, such as diesel engine inspections for commercial trucks

Manually segmenting customer lists for targeted promotions like winter tire swaps and all-season tread wear alerts

Wasted time following up on neglected leads from walk-in diagnostics, like OBD-II code scans for check engine lights

Struggling to personalize emails for high-mileage vehicle owners facing timing belt replacements at 100,000 miles

Overlooking repeat business opportunities in transmission repair cycles, such as fluid flushes every 60,000 miles

Inefficient tracking of promotional ROI for brake pad discounts, including ABS system inspections

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, we were spending Fridays just sorting customer lists for oil change reminders based on odometer readings. Now, the system auto-sends personalized texts tied to their last service date, and our bay utilization jumped 35% in three months after handling 150 more lube jobs. It's like having an extra mechanic for marketing without the payroll."

Mike Reynolds

Owner, Reynolds Auto Repair in Denver, CO

"I was skeptical about automating promotions for our fleet accounts with semi-trucks, but their custom setup integrated with our scheduling software perfectly. Last winter, automated tire rotation campaigns for 18-wheelers brought in 20 extra jobs we would've missed, including alignments for cross-country hauls. Saved us about 10 hours a week on fleet tracking, no exaggeration."

Sarah Patel

General Manager, Patel's Precision Garage in Atlanta, GA

"Our shop was buried in manual email follow-ups for brake services, including rotor resurfacing for sedans and SUVs. After implementing their automation, leads for pad replacements convert 25% faster, and we're not chasing ghosts anymore—tracked via service history logs. The ROI hit within two months with $15,000 in additional brake revenue, real numbers, not hype."

Common Questions

How does your marketing automation integrate with my existing shop software?

We start by mapping your current setup, whether it's AutoFluent, Tekmetric, or another system, and build custom two-way API connections. This pulls in real-time data like customer visit history and vehicle details without any manual uploads. For instance, if a customer books an oil change, the automation instantly triggers a follow-up for their next air filter service. Our approach ensures zero disruption— we've integrated with over 50 automotive tools, reducing data entry time by 80% for shops like yours. Setup typically takes 2-4 weeks, with full handover to your team.

What kind of ROI can an auto repair shop expect?

Based on our deployments, shops see an average 300% ROI in the first quarter, driven by higher appointment bookings and reduced manual labor. For example, automated reminders for tire rotations can increase repeat visits by 40%, adding $10,000+ in annual revenue per bay. We calculate this using your specific metrics, like average repair value of $250, and track it via custom dashboards. Unlike generic tools, our systems are tuned to automotive cycles, ensuring cost savings from eliminated ad waste and reclaimed staff hours—typically 15 per week.

Is this solution customizable for my shop's specific services?

Absolutely, we design everything around your workflow, not a one-size-fits-all model. If your shop specializes in diesel repairs or EV diagnostics, we tailor automations to highlight those, like targeted emails for fleet operators on transmission flushes. During discovery, we analyze your customer data to create segments for high-margin services. This custom build means no irrelevant features cluttering your process, and we've helped shops boost efficiency by 50% in just months by focusing on unique needs like seasonal promotions for snow tire installations.

How secure is the customer data in your automation system?

Security is paramount in automotive, where you're handling VINs and service records. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and comply with GDPR and CCPA standards, using secure AWS infrastructure. Data stays within your owned system—no third-party sharing without consent. For auto shops, this means protected info during campaigns for warranty work or recalls. Our audits show 99.9% uptime, and we include role-based access so only authorized staff see sensitive details. Clients appreciate the peace of mind, especially after we've fortified systems against common breaches in small business marketing.

What support do you provide after launch?

Post-launch, we offer 90 days of hands-on optimization, monitoring campaign performance and tweaking for better results, like refining triggers for brake service upsells. Beyond that, our maintenance package includes quarterly reviews and 24/7 support via a dedicated portal. We've reduced downtime to under 1% for our automotive clients by proactively updating for software changes. Think of us as an extension of your team— one shop cut response times to leads by 60% with our ongoing tweaks, ensuring your marketing engine runs smoothly year-round.

Can this scale if my shop grows or adds locations?

Yes, our architecture is built for scalability, handling everything from single-bay operations to multi-location chains. As you expand, we modularize the system to manage separate customer bases while unifying reporting— for example, tracking cross-location promotions for alignment packages. We've scaled solutions for shops growing 50% in revenue, adding features like centralized lead routing without rebuilding from scratch. This future-proofs your investment, avoiding the costly migrations common with rigid tools, and keeps efficiency high even during busy seasons like back-to-school checkups.
