Join 150+ businesses with streamlined oil change workflows
The "Disconnected Data" Problem
Manual inventory checks for API-certified oils and filters lead to frequent shortages of high-demand viscosities like 5W-30 during peak rush hours
Disconnected scheduling tools for lift bays and service bays cause overbooked alignments and oil changes, resulting in customer walkouts during high-volume periods
Inaccurate tracking of vehicle maintenance history in service records results in missed upselling opportunities for premium synthetic oils during routine changes
Fragmented customer data silos across CRM and DMS platforms slow down personalized reminders for oil life monitoring and filter replacements
Error-prone manual invoicing for quick-lube services, including labor hours and parts like drain plugs, delays cash flow and end-of-day reconciliations
Lack of real-time monitoring of service bays leads to technicians wasting time on low-priority oil pan drains while high-value jobs like transmissions wait

What Makes Us Different:
Centralized Operations That Drive Efficiency
Predictive Inventory Management
Predictive Inventory Management: AI analyzes historical data from oil change logs and seasonal fleet demands to forecast needs for viscosities like 0W-20 and 10W-40, reducing waste by 28% on overstocked lubricants within the first quarter. This frees up capital for expanding quick-lube stations, eliminating mid-service halts for common grades like 5W-30 during peak summer drives.
Streamlined Appointment Flow
Streamlined Appointment Flow: Unified systems integrate with shop management software to match incoming vehicles—such as sedans for quick oil top-offs or SUVs for full drains—to available hoist bays instantly, cutting wait times from 45 to 20 minutes. This drives a 22% rise in CSI (Customer Satisfaction Index) scores over six months, converting routine oil visits into repeat business for alignments and tire rotations.
Automated Upsell Intelligence
Automated Upsell Intelligence: AI cross-references VIN-linked vehicle data with service intervals to recommend add-ons like cabin air filters or coolant flushes during oil changes, boosting average ticket values by 15% in the initial implementation year. This requires zero additional technician time, streamlining workflows from drain-and-fill to comprehensive maintenance packages.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd run out of 5W-30 synthetic twice a week during summer peak, frustrating customers waiting on oil changes and tying up our lifts. Their unified integration cut shortages to zero, integrated billing with our DMS to drop processing from 10 minutes to under 2 per quick-lube job, and lifted revenue 18% this quarter alone."
Mike Rodriguez
Service Manager at QuickLube Pros in Dallas, TX
"Juggling separate apps for bay scheduling and parts inventory was a nightmare—customers would walk out if our four-post lifts were double-booked for oil services. Now with everything unified in one dashboard, we've filled 25% more slots for drain-and-fills without hiring extra techs; it's like having a virtual shop foreman overseeing the chaos during rush hour."
Sarah Kline
Owner of Bayview Auto Services in Seattle, WA
"Our legacy system missed critical VIN history details, making upsells for synthetic blends during oil inspections pure guesswork. The AI now auto-flags needs like overdue PCV valve checks right in the bay workflow, delivering a steady 12% increase in add-on sales over the past six months—no more lost opportunities on fleet maintenance contracts."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does AI integration handle variable oil demands in seasonal rushes?
Our custom AI models analyze historical data from your shop's busiest periods, like summer road trips, to predict spikes in high-mileage synthetic oil needs. For a typical multi-service shop, this means forecasting within 5% accuracy, preventing stockouts that could idle bays for hours. We integrate this with your suppliers' APIs for automatic reorders, ensuring 10W-40 or whatever your fleet requires is always ready. Unlike generic tools, our system learns your specific patterns—weekend warriors versus commercial fleets—delivering tailored alerts that keep operations humming without manual oversight. Implementation takes just 4-6 weeks, with immediate ROI through reduced waste.
Will this work with our existing shop management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with popular automotive systems like Mitchell or Shop-Ware, creating a single source of truth for your oil change data. No rip-and-replace; we map your current workflows, from appointment intake to post-service billing, ensuring seamless data flow. For instance, customer VIN details pull directly into the AI for personalized oil recommendations, cutting entry errors by 90%. Our enterprise-grade approach handles the quirks of legacy software, with built-in redundancies to avoid downtime during busy lube seasons. Shops report 25% faster service cycles right after go-live.
What kind of ROI can an oil change shop expect?
Based on our work with similar multi-service operations, expect a 3-6 month payback through efficiency gains. For example, one client reduced manual inventory checks by 15 hours weekly, redirecting staff to more billable services and boosting revenue 20%. AI forecasting minimizes overstock costs—saving $5,000 annually on unused oils—while optimized scheduling fills bays 18% fuller. We provide custom KPIs post-integration, like throughput per bay, to track your progress. Unlike subscription models, our owned system eliminates ongoing fees, compounding savings as your shop scales.
How secure is the customer data in your AI system?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where vehicle and owner data is sensitive. We build with end-to-end encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, plus automotive-specific regs for service histories. Data stays on your unified platform—no third-party sharing— with role-based access so only bay techs see relevant oil service logs. We've audited integrations for 50+ shops, preventing breaches that could expose VINs or payment info. Features like automated backups and anomaly detection ensure 99.9% reliability, giving you peace of mind during high-volume periods.
Can this AI help with upselling during oil changes?
Yes, our AI excels at intelligent upselling tailored to each vehicle. It cross-references service history with manufacturer specs to suggest add-ons, like wiper fluid top-offs or filter swaps, at the perfect moment—right after the oil drain. In one deployment, a shop increased upsell acceptance from 12% to 28% by displaying personalized prompts on technician tablets. This integrates seamlessly with your workflow, adding no extra steps, and tracks conversion rates for refinement. It's all custom-built to your shop's margins, focusing on high-profit items without pushing unnecessary services.
How long does implementation take for a small oil change operation?
For a 4-6 bay setup, we complete discovery and build in 6-8 weeks, minimizing disruption. Week 1-2: Map your processes, like bay turnover times. Weeks 3-5: Develop and test integrations, starting with inventory sync. Final weeks: Deploy with training sessions for your team, covering AI alerts for low-oil warnings. We phase it—oil forecasting first, then full scheduling—to keep bays running. Post-launch support includes a 30-day optimization period, where we tweak based on real data, ensuring quick wins like 15% faster customer throughput from the start.
