UVeye, an automated vehicle inspection system provider, has announced a strategic integration with Tire Rack Wholesale designed to close the gap between identifying a tire defect and selling a replacement. The new partnership connects UVeye’s AI-driven detection technology directly with Tire Rack Wholesale’s quoting tools, allowing dealership service advisors to generate real-time, accurate tire quotes in a single click.
For automotive dealerships, tire sales represent a critical retention tool and revenue stream, yet the process of quoting tires has traditionally been manual and time-consuming. Service advisors often have to leave their desk, check the tires for size information, look up inventory, and calculate pricing—a friction-filled process that can lead to missed sales opportunities. This new integration aims to eliminate those hurdles by automating the workflow from detection to proposal.
How Does the UVeye AI-Integration Work?
The system begins at the service lane entrance. As a vehicle passes through UVeye’s drive-thru scanners—a system they describe as an “MRI for vehicles”—the technology automatically detects tire issues such as low tread depth, uneven wear patterns, mismatched brands, or sidewall damage. Previously, an advisor would receive this data and then have to manually enter vehicle information into a separate system to find a replacement.
With the new integration, detection triggers an immediate opportunity. When a tire issue is flagged, a quote is generated next to the inspection result. Clicking through launches an OEM-branded Tire Rack Wholesale portal with all critical data—including the dealer ID, vehicle make, model, and year—already pre-filled. The system instantly displays live dealer pricing and local availability, ensuring that the quotes provided to the customer reflect inventory that is actually in stock and ready to install.
“This collaboration is about giving service teams speed, accuracy, and transparency,” said Amir Hever, CEO of UVeye. “By linking our tire inspection technology to Tire Rack Wholesale’s real-time quoting, dealerships can instantly turn AI-driven insights into actionable recommendations their customers can trust. With UVeye and Tire Rack Wholesale, tire inspection becomes a tire sales opportunity — all in one seamless workflow.”
Streamlining The Service Lane
The benefits for dealerships extend beyond simple time savings. By automating the selection process, the system reduces human error regarding tire fitment, ensuring that the tires recommended are the correct specification for the vehicle. Furthermore, because the tool is powered by Tire Rack Wholesale’s quoting sites, the pricing and selection align with the specific tire programs and inventory strategies of the dealership.
UVeye also notes that the platform tracks quote engagement, providing dealership management with valuable insights into adoption rates and return on investment. This data can help service managers identify training opportunities and measure how effectively their teams are converting inspection findings into revenue.
The integration is set to debut with select Subaru retailers, offering them the first opportunity to streamline tire sales directly from the service lane. By merging high-tech diagnostics with instant logistics data, UVeye and Tire Rack Wholesale are aiming to make tire replacement a faster, more transparent experience for both dealers and vehicle owners.
