What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Enterprise-Grade Efficiency Tailored to Your Shop
Accelerate Turnaround on Collision Repairs
Accelerate Turnaround on Collision Repairs: Our custom AI forecasts repair timelines using your shop's past data on frame pulls and panel replacements, cutting average job completion by 25%—from 7 days to 5.25 days. No more techs twiddling thumbs while waiting for structural approvals—get vehicles back on the road faster, delighting customers and freeing bays for the next hail-damaged SUV.
Optimize Parts Management Without the Guesswork
Optimize Parts Management Without the Guesswork: Built-in AI inventory tools analyze usage patterns from frame pulls to bumper installs across 500+ jobs annually, reducing overstock by 35% and stockouts that halt workflows. Integrate directly with suppliers like LKQ and Moog, ensuring OEM-spec bumpers and headlights arrive just-in-time within 24 hours, preserving your cash flow for shop expansions like adding a new alignment rack.
Streamline Insurance and Invoicing for Bulletproof Accuracy
Streamline Insurance and Invoicing for Bulletproof Accuracy: Automate claim submissions to CCC Pathways and invoice generation with AI that cross-checks estimates against actual repairs like unibody straightening, slashing errors by 50% and speeding payments from 30 days to 15. Say goodbye to disputes over paint matching or alignment specs—our system ensures every detail aligns, boosting your net per job by up to 15% on $5,000 collision averages.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were buried in scheduling glitches during hail season—jobs like frame alignments backed up for 4-5 days, tying up our 8 bays. Their custom system now auto-adjusts based on our team's I-CAR certifications, and we've shaved two full days off average turnaround on pickup trucks. No more angry fleet managers calling about downtime."
Mike Reynolds
Collision Shop Manager at Precision Auto Body in Denver, CO
"Juggling parts orders manually was killing us; one wrong spec on a Ford F-150 bumper cost us $800 in rework and a week's delay last quarter. AIQ built us an AI predictor that ties into LKQ and local salvage yards, and stockouts for panels dropped to zero in the first month. It's like having an extra inventory specialist who handles 200 orders monthly without errors."
Sarah Lopez
Operations Director at Elite Collision Center in Atlanta, GA
"Insurance claims for structural repairs used to take our admin three hours per vehicle, with endless back-and-forth on estimates—now it's automated via Audatex integration with follow-up reminders, and we closed books 40% faster last month on 150 jobs. Repeat business from our commercial fleet clients jumped 20%, especially after quick dent and paint turnarounds. Finally, a system that fits our high-volume chaos."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom system differ from ServiceTitan for my auto body shop?
ServiceTitan offers a solid off-the-shelf platform, but it's built for broad field services, not the precision of collision repairs. Their scheduling often ignores bay-specific tools like frame straighteners, leading to inefficiencies. We craft a tailored AI solution that integrates your exact tools—think seamless CCC One syncing for estimates—and focuses on auto body nuances like multi-stage paint workflows. Shops see 30-40% faster job throughput without monthly fees climbing to $600+. It's ownership, not rental, with flexibility to add features like AI damage assessment from photos. We've helped shops like yours eliminate the rigid templates that force-fit your operations.
What kind of integrations do you build for parts and insurance in auto body?
We specialize in deep, two-way integrations tailored to automotive challenges. For parts, we connect to suppliers like Keystone or Worldpac, using AI to predict needs based on common repairs like door panel replacements. This prevents the idle time that costs shops $200/hour in lost productivity. On insurance, our system automates workflows with carriers via APIs to Audatex or Mitchell, auto-populating claims with VIN-specific details and damage codes. No more manual entry errors that delay approvals by weeks. In one project, a mid-sized shop reduced claim processing from 4 hours to 20 minutes per vehicle, boosting cash flow immediately. Everything's custom-coded for reliability, not brittle Zapier links.
How long does it take to build and deploy a custom AI system for my shop?
Timeline depends on complexity, but most auto body shops go from discovery to live in 8-12 weeks. We start with a 2-week audit of your current setup—scheduling, inventory, invoicing—to blueprint the solution. Building takes 4-6 weeks, including custom AI for forecasting repair delays or optimizing bay assignments. Testing in your environment ensures it handles real scenarios, like a rush of fender-bender jobs. Deployment includes training for your team on the intuitive dashboard. Post-launch, we optimize for the first month at no extra cost. Compare that to ServiceTitan's setup, which can drag on with their fixed structure—our bespoke approach gets you running efficiently faster, without disrupting daily repairs.
Will I own the system outright, and what about ongoing costs?
Absolutely, you own it completely—no subscriptions, no vendor lock-in. Unlike ServiceTitan's model, where you're renting with fees that balloon as you add users or bays (often $500-1,000/month), our one-time build fee covers everything. Think $20,000-50,000 investment for a full multi-service platform, recouped in 6-9 months through efficiency gains like 25% more jobs per week. Maintenance is minimal; we provide source code access and optional support at $150/hour if needed, but most shops handle tweaks in-house after our training. This shifts you from dependency to asset ownership, scaling with your growth without surprise bills during slow seasons.
Can your solution handle multi-service operations beyond just body work?
Yes, our platforms are designed for comprehensive auto body shops offering detailing, mechanical services, or even tire rotations alongside collision repairs. We build modular AI that unifies it all—for instance, scheduling a dent repair to flow into an oil change without re-entering vehicle data. AI prioritizes based on profitability, like bumping a quick alignment ahead of a complex frame job. We've deployed for shops servicing 100+ vehicles weekly, integrating with tools like Shop-Ware for broader ops. Benefits include reduced cross-training needs for staff and 15-20% higher upsell rates on add-ons. It's flexible, adapting to your service mix without the bloat of generic software that overcomplicates simple workflows.
How do you ensure the AI understands auto body-specific challenges?
Our team includes engineers with hands-on experience in repair environments, so we train the AI on industry datasets like I-CAR repair times and common damage patterns from NHTSA reports. For your shop, we ingest your historical data—past estimates, job logs, supplier invoices—to fine-tune models for accuracy. This means the system learns your shop's quirks, like longer times for aluminum panel repairs versus steel. In testing, this delivers 90%+ prediction accuracy for parts needs, far surpassing generic tools. We avoid black-box AI; everything's transparent and auditable, ensuring compliance with body shop standards and reducing risks in high-stakes collision work.
