We Earn You More
Auto Rate IQ is dedicated to providing expert rate processing services tailored to your unique needs. Allow us to guide you on your path to success.
​
We help dealerships increase warranty labor rates and parts markups — without increasing car count or service volume.
Most Dealerships Are Underpaid
They Just Don’t Know It
The issue isn’t eligibility — it’s how the data is structured and submitted.
Manufacturers don’t automatically adjust your warranty rates to reflect your true retail pricing.
As a result:
-
Warranty labor rates often lag behind actual shop rates
-
Parts markups are frequently below what’s allowable
-
Revenue is lost daily — without visibility
The issue isn’t eligibility.
It’s how the data is structured and submitted.

Core Areas of Warranty Optimization
Warranty Labor Rate Optimization
​
Warranty labor rates should reflect your true retail pricing — but often fall short due to how submissions are structured.
We analyze your customer-pay repair order data and prepare a submission aligned with manufacturer expectations and review standards.
The goal is simple:
maximize the rate your data can support — and get it approved.
What We Do
Warranty Parts Markup Optimization
Parts reimbursement is frequently overlooked, yet it represents a significant portion of warranty revenue.
We evaluate your current structure and prepare a data-backed submission designed to improve parts markup reimbursement in accordance with OEM guidelines.
No added volume — just better alignment with what your data already supports.

​
​​Every submission is built from your data — not assumptions.
Nationwide Statutory & OEM-Compliant Submissions
Structured in accordance with state-specific requirements and manufacturer guidelines
Warranty reimbursement submissions are governed by a combination of manufacturer policies and state-specific statutory frameworks, which vary across jurisdictions.
Auto Rate IQ structures each submission in alignment with applicable state guidelines and manufacturer requirements, ensuring that the data presented supports the highest allowable labor rates and parts markups within those parameters.

State-specific warranty reimbursement statutes
