Unlock Time Savings and Revenue Growth

Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Core Repairs

Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Core Engine Diagnostics and Brake Repairs: Manual outreach for post-service follow-ups like transmission fluid checks diverts your team's focus from bay work to admin tasks. Our system automates personalized sequences for alignments and oil services, saving an average of 18 hours per week per shop—redirected to high-margin repairs. Shops achieve a 35% uplift in bay utilization, converting idle time into $5K+ monthly billable revenue.

Achieve 30% Higher Appointment Conversion Rates

Achieve 30% Higher Appointment Conversion Rates for Services Like Suspension Alignments: Generic SMS reminders are deleted; our AI generates hyper-personalized messages such as 'Your 2020 Honda Civic's alignment is due after 6,000 miles from last service—book now to avoid uneven tire wear.' This precision drives 2-3x more bookings within 48 hours, with ROI reaching 5x in 3 months via upsells on shocks and struts, adding $8K quarterly revenue.

Slash Outreach Costs by 40% with Measurable ROI

Slash Outreach Costs by 40% with Trackable ROI on Fleet Maintenance Campaigns: Eliminate fragmented CRM tools or extra sales hires for tracking leads. Our integrated platform cuts per-lead costs from $15 to $9, with real-time dashboards monitoring metrics like open rates for recall alerts. One mid-sized shop reduced annual marketing by $12K while boosting revenue 22% through automated outreach for DOT-compliant fleet inspections.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, our team spent 2-3 hours daily manually calling customers post-alignment for follow-ups on worn bushings—it was exhausting. Now, the system pulls from our service history to send tailored texts like 'Time for your strut inspection after 10K miles,' and we've seen a 40% jump in winter tire rotation bookings over the last six months. That's easily 12 hours saved weekly, letting us focus on diagnostics."

Mike Rivera

Service Manager, Riverside Automotive Repair, serving Southern California dealerships

"Fleet accounts for our delivery vans were dropping off because follow-up emails on brake inspections got lost in the shuffle. Since integrating their AI last quarter, it auto-generates pitches using OBD-II mileage data, like 'Schedule bulk brake service for your 15-unit Ford Transit fleet to meet FMCSA standards.' We secured three new corporate contracts worth $50K annually, and sales admin time dropped by 50%—ROI was evident in month one."

Sarah Chen

Operations Director, Precision Fleet Maintenance Services, specializing in commercial vehicle upkeep

"During peak summer rushes for AC recharges, we'd miss walk-in leads for tune-ups entirely. Their automation now captures inquiries via integrated POS and sends instant recall notices for airbag modules, filling 25 extra service bays last season alone. It's like adding a 24/7 salesperson who handles everything from initial contact to booking—revenue from those automated leads hit $15K in Q3."

Common Questions

How does this automation handle personalized outreach for different vehicle types?

Our system leverages your shop's service records to craft messages tailored to specifics—like reminding a Subaru owner about timing belt services or a truck fleet about DOT inspections. We build custom AI models that analyze VIN data, past repairs, and driving patterns, ensuring relevance without manual input. This boosts open rates by 40% compared to generic blasts. For a mid-sized shop, setup takes 2-4 weeks, integrating directly with your database for accuracy. No more one-size-fits-all emails that land in spam.

What kind of time savings can a typical auto repair shop expect?

Shops using our solution report reclaiming 15-25 hours weekly from manual tasks like calling for follow-ups or logging leads. Imagine your front desk focusing on walk-ins instead of chasing oil change reminders. We quantify this through pre- and post-implementation audits, showing efficiency gains in bay utilization. One client, a 5-bay operation, reduced admin time by 20 hours, redirecting it to diagnostics and increasing daily revenue by $1,200. It's all about ROI—our dashboards track every saved minute's impact.

Is this system secure for handling customer vehicle data?

Absolutely. We prioritize automotive-grade security, encrypting VINs, service histories, and contact info with enterprise standards like AES-256. Built for compliance with regulations such as CCPA for customer privacy and NHTSA recall guidelines. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, our custom builds include audit logs for every outreach, ensuring traceability. We've deployed similar systems for shops handling fleet data without a single breach. Your data stays in a unified, owned platform—no risky third-party shares.

How does it integrate with my existing shop management software?

We create deep, two-way API integrations with platforms like Shop-Ware, Tekmetric, or QuickBooks, pulling real-time data on appointments and invoices to fuel outreach. For instance, if a customer's brake pads were replaced, the AI auto-schedules a 6-month check reminder. No superficial Zapier links that break—our engineers ensure robust connections tested for high-volume use. Implementation involves a 1-week mapping session, followed by seamless rollout, minimizing downtime during busy periods.

What's the ROI timeline for implementing sales outreach automation?

Most shops see positive ROI within 1-3 months, with break-even on development costs by month 4. We base this on benchmarks: a 30% uplift in bookings from automated campaigns, cutting per-lead costs from $20 to $7. For a shop with 200 monthly services, that's an extra $5K-10K revenue from upsells alone. Our process includes ROI projections during discovery, tracking metrics like conversion rates post-launch. Clients often recoup investment through reduced staff overtime on sales tasks.

Can this scale if my shop expands to multiple locations?

Yes, our architecture is designed for scalability, handling multi-site data like a central hub for chain operations. We build it to manage thousands of outreaches daily without lag, centralizing control while allowing location-specific tweaks—e.g., weather-based reminders for snow tire shops in the north. One expanding chain went from 3 to 7 locations seamlessly, boosting overall bookings 28%. We include growth provisions in the initial build, avoiding costly rebuilds later.
