Our Tailored AI Scheduling Engine: Built for Your Shop's Unique Demands
With a proven track record in automotive operations, we've optimized scheduling for over 50 body shops, delivering enterprise-grade systems that scale with your growth.
Why Choose Us
Generic scheduling tools treat your auto body shop like just another business, ignoring the chaos of frame alignments, paint drying times, and urgent hail damage rushes. We build custom AI solutions from the ground up, integrating seamlessly with your existing CRM, parts inventory, and insurance portals. Like a master mechanic fine-tuning an engine, our system anticipates bottlenecks—predicting bay availability, auto-adjusting for repair durations, and syncing with real-time parts arrivals. This isn't off-the-shelf software. It's a flexible, owned asset designed for your exact workflow, slashing inefficiencies and maximizing every hour in your bays.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Drives Real Revenue in Your Shop
Maximize Bay Utilization Without the Guesswork
Maximize Bay Utilization Without the Guesswork: Our custom AI forecasts repair timelines based on vehicle type (e.g., sedans vs. SUVs) and damage severity (minor dents to frame damage), ensuring bays stay occupied 95% of the time. Shops using our systems report a 28% increase in jobs completed monthly, turning idle space into steady cash flow—like upgrading from a stock carburetor to a high-performance one, with frame machine utilization jumping from 60% to 90% in peak seasons.
Slash Administrative Overhead for Your Front Office
Slash Administrative Overhead for Your Front Office: Automate appointment confirmations, rescheduling, and customer updates via AI voice agents that handle details like drop-off times for diagnostic scans, freeing estimators from phone tag. This cuts admin time by 35%, allowing your team to handle 20% more quotes per day without burnout, especially during insurance claim surges.
Boost Customer Satisfaction and Repeat Business
Boost Customer Satisfaction and Repeat Business: Predictive reminders and flexible self-scheduling portals reduce no-shows by 40%, while personalized follow-ups based on repair history (e.g., recommending rustproofing after underbody work) build loyalty. Expect a 15% uptick in referrals, as clients appreciate the smooth experience that keeps their vehicles—and schedules—on track, with post-repair satisfaction scores rising to 4.8/5.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our shop in Denver was losing two bays a day to scheduling mix-ups during winter hail storms, with frame straighteners sitting idle while waiting for parts. Their custom system now auto-adjusts for OEM supplier delays and integrates directly with our inventory feed—we've added 12 extra collision jobs a month without hiring more techs, boosting throughput by 25% in Q1."
Mike Rivera
Shop Manager, Rocky Mountain Auto Body & Collision
"We were buried in manual calendars that didn't account for paint booth curing times or insurance supplement approvals for aluminum panel repairs. After implementing their AI scheduler six months ago, no-shows dropped from 18% to 3%, and our techs are finishing jobs on time—it's like having an extra coordinator who never sleeps, with cycle times reduced by 40% across our dent and frame lines."
Sarah Chen
Operations Director, Precision Collision & Frame Center
"Hail season used to wreck our schedule worse than the storms, with unpredictable influxes overwhelming our dent pullers and estimators. AIQ's solution predicts volume spikes based on weather data and balances workloads across our three locations, integrating with carrier portals for faster approvals. Revenue's up 22% year-over-year, and my estimators finally get lunch breaks without backlog chaos."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your scheduling solution handle the variability in repair times for different vehicle types?
Auto body repairs aren't one-size-fits-all— a fender bender on a sedan might take half a day, while a full frame realignment on an SUV could span a week. Our custom AI learns from your shop's past jobs, factoring in variables like make, model, damage extent, and even tech expertise. We integrate data from estimating software to predict durations with 90% accuracy, auto-adjusting schedules as new details emerge. This means fewer overruns and more predictable cash flow. Shops we've worked with see cycle times drop by 20%, turning what was a guessing game into a precision operation.
Can this system integrate with our existing auto body management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like CCC One, Audatex, or your custom QuickBooks setup. No more manual data transfers that lead to errors in job quotes or parts orders. Our engineers map your workflows— from initial damage assessment to final invoice—creating seamless data flow. For instance, when a new appointment is booked, it pulls in customer history and flags any recurring issues like prior rust repairs. This unified approach eliminates the 'subscription chaos' of disconnected tools, saving your team hours weekly on reconciliation.
What happens if we experience a surge in jobs, like after a major storm?
Storm seasons can flood your bays with hail-damaged fleets overnight. Our AI scheduling engine is built for resilience, using predictive modeling to anticipate surges based on weather APIs and historical patterns. It dynamically reallocates resources—prioritizing high-value insurance claims while buffering for drying times or part backorders. We've helped shops handle 50% volume spikes without overtime bloat, maintaining 85% bay efficiency. Plus, it auto-scales notifications to customers, keeping satisfaction high even in chaos. Think of it as shock absorbers for your schedule: it absorbs the hit and keeps you rolling.
How secure is the customer data in your scheduling system?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where you're handling sensitive details like VINs, insurance info, and repair photos. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like SOC 2 and HIPAA where applicable for personal data. Access is role-based—estimators see quotes, techs see bay assignments— with audit logs tracking every change. Unlike cloud rentals, you own the system, so data stays under your control without third-party risks. In our deployments, we've zeroed out breach incidents, giving shop owners peace of mind amid rising cyber threats in the industry.
What's the timeline for implementing this custom scheduling solution?
We move fast but thorough, typically delivering a fully integrated system in 6-8 weeks for most auto body shops. Week 1 is discovery: shadowing your team to map quirks like custom paint matching delays. Weeks 2-4 involve building and testing the AI core, with iterations based on your feedback. By week 6, we're in pilot mode, training staff on the intuitive dashboard. Full rollout hits week 8, with a 30-day optimization period to fine-tune for your workflow. This phased approach minimizes disruption—many clients report ROI within the first month, as scheduling errors vanish immediately.
Do you provide ongoing support after the system is built?
Yes, our partnership doesn't end at launch. We offer tiered support packages, starting with 90 days of included monitoring to catch and refine AI predictions, like adjusting for seasonal slowdowns in luxury vehicle repairs. Monthly check-ins ensure the system evolves with your shop—adding features like AI-driven upselling for add-on services during booking. Our clients access a dedicated engineer for tweaks, and we provide training refreshers as staff turns over. This ongoing collaboration has helped shops sustain 25% efficiency gains year after year, treating your AI as a growing asset, not a set-it-and-forget-it tool.
