Why Choose Us
We don't deploy off-the-shelf bots. Instead, AIQ Labs engineers bespoke AI voice agents tailored to your oil change operation's rhythm. Picture this: a natural-sounding AI that greets a caller at 10 PM, asks about their vehicle mileage, checks your bay availability, and books the slot—all while updating your CRM. No more leads slipping through like oil from a loose drain plug. Our agents handle inquiries on synthetic blends versus full synthetics, upsell quick lube packages, and even triage urgent cases like low-oil warnings. Built on advanced frameworks, they scale with your bay count and integrate deeply with tools like Shop-Ware or Mitchell 1, ensuring seamless data flow. This isn't just availability; it's a proven track record of turning night owls into booked appointments.

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose half our evening calls to voicemail—especially from long-haul truckers needing quick lubes after 500-mile runs. Now, it's booking 15 extra slots a week for synthetic oil services, and our Google reviews jumped 4.2 stars because customers get quotes on the spot for filter changes. Implementation took just two weeks with our Mitchell1 software, and it's paid for itself in under three months with $12K added revenue."
Mike Rodriguez
Owner, QuickLube Express
"Our shop was swamped during lunch rushes, missing calls about synthetic oil upsells for GM trucks. The AI handles it all now, even escalating weird engine noises from belt tensioners to our techs via text alerts. We've added $8K monthly revenue without hiring, and the custom integration with our Shop-Ware scheduling app is flawless—no more double-bookings on lift bays."
Sarah Jenkins
Manager, AutoCare Stations
"Fleet accounts were slipping away due to after-hours gaps in scheduling DOT inspections. This AI agent qualifies them instantly, books group oil changes for 20-unit fleets, and follows up on mileage logs via integrated telematics. In three months, we've retained two major contracts worth $50K annually from logistics firms. It's like having a night shift without the payroll, cutting admin time by 40%."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle specific oil change questions?
Our agents are trained on your shop's exact offerings, from conventional to high-mileage synthetics. They ask targeted questions about the vehicle's make, model, and current oil type, then provide accurate quotes and book slots. For edge cases, like eco-friendly options, it pulls from your custom knowledge base. This ensures responses feel personal, not robotic, and we've seen a 28% increase in upsell success for bundled services. Integration with your inventory system even checks stock levels in real-time to avoid overpromising.
What if a caller needs to speak to a technician right away?
The AI intelligently triages: for simple bookings or quotes, it handles everything. For urgent issues like check-engine lights tied to oil pressure, it seamlessly transfers to your on-call tech or leaves a detailed voicemail with callback priority. This setup reduces abandoned calls by 45%, as the agent gathers all necessary details upfront—like VIN and symptoms—saving time. Post-launch, we monitor transfers to optimize handoffs, ensuring your team isn't bombarded during off-hours.
Can this integrate with my existing oil change software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like Shop-Ware, Tekmetric, or even custom POS systems. The AI pushes booked appointments directly into your calendar, updates customer records with oil preferences, and pulls availability to prevent double-bookings. No more manual entry that leads to errors. In one recent project for a multi-bay shop, this cut scheduling conflicts by 60%, streamlining your workflow from call to completion.
How much does it cost to set up for a small oil change shop?
We tailor pricing to your scale—typically starting at $5,000 for setup on a single-location shop, with minimal ongoing maintenance fees since you own the system. This beats subscription models that can hit $1,000 monthly. ROI kicks in fast: with average oil changes at $50-80, capturing just 10 extra bookings monthly covers costs. We provide a free audit to project your exact savings based on call volume and conversion benchmarks from similar automotive clients.
Is the AI voice agent secure for handling customer data?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where PCI compliance for payments and data privacy matter. Our agents use encrypted channels, adhere to TCPA rules for calls, and store data in compliant clouds like AWS with SOC 2 standards. They never retain sensitive info like payment details—escalating those to secure human paths. For oil change specifics, like service history, access is role-based and audited. We've deployed these in fleet-heavy environments without a single breach, giving you peace of mind amid rising cyber threats.
How long does it take to get the AI voice agent up and running?
From consultation to launch, it's 4-6 weeks for most oil change operations. Week 1: We map your workflows and train the AI on your lingo. Weeks 2-3: Build and test integrations, simulating calls for scenarios like rush-hour overflows. Week 4: Soft launch with monitoring, then full go-live. This timeline ensures zero disruption to your bays. Post-launch, we offer 30 days of tweaks based on real calls, helping shops hit 90% automation rates quickly.
