The "Silent Hours" Problem
Evening calls for quick lube services go unanswered, losing impulse bookings when drivers need immediate turnaround for 5W-30 conventional oil changes amid high-mileage vehicle demands
Weekend inquiries about synthetic oil options like Mobil 1 full synthetic vs. conventional blends pile up in voicemail, frustrating customers who expect same-day slots for their sedans or SUVs
Peak rush-hour overflows for routine maintenance like 3,000-mile oil filter replacements leave lines jammed, turning potential repeat business into competitor wins for tire rotations and alignments
After-hours emergencies like low-oil warnings on dashboard alerts for diesel trucks get ignored, eroding trust in your shop as the go-to for urgent services during long-haul routes
Inconsistent handling of fleet oil change schedules for commercial vans during off-peak times results in delayed callbacks and lost contracts for bulk synthetic services
Holiday surges for pre-trip oil checks on RVs and family vehicles overwhelm limited staff, causing backlogs that deter seasonal traffic for viscosity-matched lubricants

Boost Customer Satisfaction with Instant Service
Boost Customer Satisfaction with Instant Service: Customers get immediate answers on wait times or oil type recommendations like Dexos-approved synthetics for GM vehicles, reducing frustration from hold music. This leads to higher NPS scores and repeat visits, with one client reporting a 25% loyalty increase post-deployment after handling 200+ weekly inquiries autonomously.
Optimize Operations Without Extra Headcount
Optimize Operations Without Extra Headcount: Handle routine queries autonomously, such as scheduling 5,000-mile interval services, freeing your team for complex diagnostics like engine leak checks. Efficiency gains mean 15-20 fewer hours weekly on phone duty, allowing focus on upselling premium synthetic blends during in-person visits for 20% greater margins on average tickets.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose half our weekend calls for 10W-40 oil top-offs on commuter cars—people just drove to the chain down the street. Now, it's booking 10 extra slots per Saturday for quick lube bays, and our techs aren't bogged down by endless ringing. Setup took about three weeks with our POS integration, and it's been a game-changer for our small crew, adding $5K in monthly revenue."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Quick Lube Pros
"We handle fleet contracts for delivery vans, and after-hours scheduling was a nightmare—voicemails piling up for bulk 15W-40 diesel changes. The AI agent qualifies drivers on the spot, checks our bay calendar against DOT regulations, and even sends confirmation texts. Last quarter, we added 15% more fleet business without hiring anyone new, thanks to seamless integration with our Shop-Ware software—finally, reliable 24/7 coverage."
Sarah Kline
Service Manager, AutoFleet Services
"Peak evenings were chaos with customers calling about synthetic blends like Pennzoil Platinum for their hybrids while we're slammed with alignments. This system answers fluently, explains viscosity grades, and books them right into our service queue. We've cut missed opportunities by 35% over six months, and feedback's been great—no more 'your line was busy' complaints during rush hour oil filter swaps."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle specific questions about oil viscosities?
Our agents are custom-trained on your shop's offerings, from conventional 10W-30 to high-mileage synthetics. When a caller asks about the best oil for their 2018 Ford F-150, the AI pulls from your predefined knowledge base, explains benefits like improved fuel economy, and cross-references with their vehicle type if provided. It then offers to book a slot, integrating directly with your calendar. This setup has helped clients increase upsell conversions by 20%, as the responses feel expert and personalized, not robotic. We fine-tune based on your actual inventory to avoid overpromising.
What happens if a call requires human intervention, like discussing a warranty issue?
The AI is designed to detect complexity—say, if a customer mentions an ongoing warranty on their last oil change—and seamlessly transfers to your on-duty staff with full context, including the call transcript and qualified details. No information is lost; it's like passing the baton in a relay. In practice, this handover happens in under 10 seconds, maintaining the conversation flow. Shops report 90% of routine calls are resolved autonomously, but for those edge cases, the smooth transition boosts satisfaction and prevents escalations.
Can this integrate with our existing oil change management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way API integrations with tools like Shopmonkey, Tekmetric, or even custom POS systems common in automotive service. The AI agent pulls real-time data on bay availability and pushes booked appointments directly into your workflow, eliminating double-entry. For example, if a bay opens up mid-call, it updates instantly. Our builds ensure compatibility without disrupting operations, and we've deployed this in over 100 shops, reducing scheduling errors by 40%. Setup involves a quick audit of your stack to guarantee a plug-and-play fit.
How secure is the AI for handling customer payment or personal info over the phone?
Security is paramount in automotive, where trust is everything. Our voice agents use enterprise-grade encryption for all calls, complying with PCI DSS for any payment discussions and GDPR-like standards for data. We avoid storing sensitive info unnecessarily, instead logging only what's needed for follow-up, like appointment details. Voice interactions are anonymized where possible, and we include opt-in recordings only with consent. Clients in fleet services appreciate this, as it protects driver data without slowing service. Regular audits ensure zero vulnerabilities, giving you peace of mind during high-volume periods.
What's the timeline for getting this up and running in our oil change bay?
From initial consultation to live deployment, it typically takes 4-6 weeks, depending on your system's complexity. Week one is discovery: we map your workflows and train the AI on oil change specifics. Weeks two and three involve building and testing integrations, with mock calls to simulate busy evenings. By week four, we're optimizing based on trial runs, ensuring 99% accuracy in booking. Post-launch, we provide two weeks of support to tweak for peak patterns. One shop went from zero to handling 50 extra calls weekly in just 35 days—efficient, without downtime.
Will the AI agent upsell services during oil change calls?
Yes, intelligently. Based on the conversation—say, a caller mentions high mileage—the agent suggests relevant add-ons like air filter replacements or tire rotations, using your pricing and availability. It's non-pushy, framed as helpful advice, which has driven a 15-25% uplift in average ticket value for our clients. We customize the logic to match your shop's style, avoiding generic pitches. Analytics let you track what converts, so you can refine over time, turning routine oil stops into full-service opportunities without alienating callers.
