AI Audit in 28-30 Seconds
Three-layer simultaneous analysis: Technical Quality validation, BAR Compliance checking, and Revenue Integrity assessment.
- Layer 1: Technical Quality - Validates measurements against manufacturer specs, checks rating logic accuracy
- Layer 2: BAR Compliance - Verifies California CCR 3353 requirements, plain language rules, parts disclosure
- Layer 3: Revenue Integrity - Benchmarks labor times against factory specs, identifies missed upsell opportunities
- All findings include source citations: ASE standards, NHTSA guidelines, OEM technical bulletins
Review Results of the Audit
Detailed findings across all three layers with actionable recommendations and source citations.
- Technical Quality Results: Rating mismatches, measurement validation issues, completeness gaps with OEM references
- BAR Compliance Results: Parts disclosure violations, plain language issues, prohibited charges flagged with CCR 3353 citations
- Revenue Integrity Results: Labor time discrepancies vs factory specs, missed upsell opportunities with approval rate data
- Each finding includes: severity level, specific citation, corrective action, and business impact
What IQ Auto Actually Catches
These are real scenarios IQ Auto identifies every day. Not hypothetical—actual missed revenue and avoided problems.
Brake Pad Rating Mismatch
Tech measured brake pads at 3mm and marked them "Checked & Okay"
IQ Auto flagged: "3mm brake pads should be rated 'Soon' or 'Now', not 'Okay'"
$280 brake service recommended → Customer approves → Revenue recovered
Missing Tire Tread Measurement
Tech marked tires "Checked & Okay" without recording tread depth
IQ Auto identified: "No tire measurements recorded. Fronts at 5/32", rotation recommended"
$45 tire rotation + future tire sale opportunity identified
Severity Mismatch on Brake Lines
Tech found rusted brake line, rated "Monitor" instead of "Now"
IQ Auto flagged: "Rusted brake line is safety-critical. Must be 'Now', not 'Monitor'"
Potential lawsuit avoided. Correct recommendation made to customer.
Missing Photos on Major Service
Tech recommended $400 suspension work but uploaded 0 photos
IQ Auto identified: "Major service recommendation requires supporting photos (BAR requirement)"
Tech added photos before customer arrived. Full documentation, higher approval rate.
These scenarios happen every day in auto shops. IQ Auto catches them before they become problems.

You're Probably Wondering...
Honest answers to the questions skeptical shop owners actually ask.
No. IQ Auto audits the inspection, not the technician. Reports are for shop owners only—your techs never see audit results unless you choose to share. Think of it as a second set of eyes for quality control, not employee surveillance. Many shops use it for training: 'Here's what we caught this week, let's review together.'
Still Have Questions?
We're shop owners and techs, not salespeople. Ask us anything.
