Double-bookings during peak oil change seasons clog your service bays and delay alignments
Manual phone tag for rescheduling brake jobs eats into your team's diagnostic time
No-shows from forgetful customers leave expensive equipment idle
Inaccurate inventory checks before tire rotation appointments waste hours on walk-ins for flat repairs
Seasonal demand surges overwhelm your paper calendars, causing errors
Seasonal demand surges for winter tire swaps overwhelm your paper calendars, causing overbooking errors

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's system, we were losing two bays a day to scheduling mix-ups during spring allergy season tire rotations. Now, everything syncs automatically with our lift schedules, and we've added 12 more alignments weekly without hiring extra staff. It's been a game-changer for our small four-bay team in handling peak demand."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Tire & Auto Service
"I was skeptical about custom automation, but after a three-month implementation, no-shows for winter tire installations dropped from 20% to under 5%. The AI even suggests optimal slots based on our snow traction demand and bay availability. Saved us about 18 hours a week on rescheduling, and our techs are happier with consistent brake job workflows."
Sarah Chen
Service Manager, Apex Tire & Brake Center
"Integrated perfectly with our existing Shop-Ware software—no more double entries for wheel alignments and balances. In the first quarter after rollout, we saw a 28% uptick in on-time completions for oil changes, which directly hit our $150K revenue targets. Worth every penny for the peace of mind during summer rush hours."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle seasonal spikes in tire demand?
Our AI analyzes past data from your busiest periods, like spring rotations or winter changes, to predict surges and auto-adjust capacity. For instance, it can block off buffer times during forecasted rain delays, ensuring bays stay productive. We've seen shops handle 50% more appointments without added staff, all while maintaining service quality. The system learns from your patterns, so it's not one-size-fits-all—it's tuned to your location's weather and customer habits, delivering reliable forecasts that cut overtime costs by up to 30%.
Will this integrate with my existing tire shop software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep integrations with tools like Shop-Ware, Pro-Mate, or even custom legacy systems common in automotive. Our process starts with mapping your data flows—think pulling tire inventory levels directly into the scheduler to avoid overbooking. No clunky middleware; we build direct APIs for real-time sync. A recent client with Mitchell 1 went live in two weeks, eliminating manual entries and saving 12 hours weekly. If your setup is unique, we handle it without forcing a full overhaul.
What kind of time savings can a small tire shop expect?
For a typical 5-bay operation, expect 15-20 hours reclaimed weekly from manual tasks like call-backs and corrections. That's your front office focusing on upselling instead of firefighting double-books. Quantitatively, no-shows drop 25-35%, adding back lost slots worth $2,000+ monthly. We base this on benchmarks from 100+ automotive installs: efficiency jumps 40% in the first quarter. It's not just time—it's revenue from smoother operations, with ROI hitting in 3-4 months for most shops.
Is the system secure for customer appointment data?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where customer trust is everything. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like GDPR and CCPA, ensuring appointment details—like vehicle specifics or contact info—stay protected. Features include role-based access so only bay leads see schedules, and audit logs track every change. Unlike off-the-shelf apps prone to breaches, our custom code undergoes rigorous testing. One client avoided a data snag during a busy season, maintaining 100% uptime and customer confidence.
How much does custom scheduling automation cost for my tire shop?
Costs vary by your shop's scale and complexity, but for a standard 4-6 bay setup, expect $15,000-$25,000 for full build and integration, with no ongoing fees beyond minimal maintenance. This replaces multiple subscriptions that could run $500+ monthly. Payback comes fast: 3x ROI in six months via saved hours and reduced errors. We provide a detailed quote after discovery, factoring in your current tools. No templates—it's priced for value, ensuring you own a system that pays for itself through efficiency.
Can this automation scale if I expand my tire shop?
Yes, designed for growth. Our architecture uses modular code that easily adds bays, locations, or new services like wheel repairs. Start with core scheduling, then layer on inventory forecasting without rebuilding. A client expanded from one to three sites seamlessly, handling 200% more volume. We monitor performance post-launch and optimize, so as your demand for all-season tires grows, the system adapts—keeping you agile without vendor lock-in or costly upgrades.
