What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Gains Tailored to Your Shop
Real-Time Service Bay Monitoring
Real-Time Service Bay Monitoring: Visualize bay occupancy and queue times across your 4-8 lift setup for oil changes and alignments, reducing average cycle time from 45 minutes to under 30, directly boosting daily throughput by 15-20 services without adding staff—ideal for handling peak-hour rushes in quick-lube operations.
Predictive Inventory Insights
Predictive Inventory Insights: Forecast demand for synthetic oils, ATF, and cabin air filters based on seasonal patterns—like summer surges in AC services and winter diesel fuel additives—cutting overstock costs by 25% and ensuring zero downtime during 10-car backlogs for fleet maintenance.
Actionable Technician Performance Tracking
Actionable Technician Performance Tracking: Monitor upsells per tech on services like wiper blade replacements and battery checks, alongside service completion rates for alignments, identifying top performers to optimize shifts, resulting in an 18% revenue lift from add-ons in just the first quarter post-implementation.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were constantly running out of ATF during transmission flushes and fluid exchanges, losing half a day's work on back-to-back appointments. Now, with real-time stock alerts tied to our bay schedule and integrated parts inventory, we've cut shortages by 90% and handled our busiest summer month without a hitch—revenue's up 22% year-over-year from smoother fleet services."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Quick Lube Express in Dallas, TX
"Our old system couldn't track who was due for an oil top-off or coolant flush on fleet accounts with high-mileage vans. The custom KPI view they built integrates with our CRM perfectly, pulling VIN data for service reminders; in three months, repeat business from corporate clients jumped 35%, and my techs spend less time on paperwork during rush hours."
Sarah Chen
General Manager, AutoServe Oil Centers Chain
"Dealing with peak-hour rushes for tire rotations was a nightmare—bays empty while we waited for parts info on all-season radials. Their dashboard flags everything from filter inventory to service times instantly across our 6-bay setup. Last quarter, we shaved 10 minutes off each oil change and rotation, adding 50 more jobs without overtime costs or customer complaints."

Simple 3-Step Process
Workflow Assessment
We dive into your oil change operations, from appointment booking to post-service invoicing, identifying key data silos like disconnected inventory logs and bay trackers to build a foundation for your custom dashboard.
Custom Design and Integration
Using your shop's specifics—like handling 200 weekly services—we engineer tailored views for KPIs such as fluid usage rates and technician efficiency, integrating seamlessly with your existing POS for real-time data pulls.
Deployment and Optimization
Launch your dashboard with hands-on training for your team, then refine based on live data from your first high-volume day, ensuring it evolves with challenges like seasonal fleet maintenance spikes.
Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your custom dashboards integrate with our existing oil change management software?
We start by auditing your current setup, whether it's something like GarageKeeper or a custom POS, and build secure, two-way API connections to pull in data like service appointments and inventory levels without disrupting operations. For oil change shops, this means real-time syncing of bay statuses and fluid stock, eliminating manual updates. Our process includes testing during off-peak hours to ensure zero downtime—typically, integration takes 2-4 weeks, depending on complexity. We've handled everything from legacy systems in small garages to multi-location chains, always prioritizing data security with encrypted transfers compliant with automotive standards. The result? A seamless dashboard that feels like an extension of your workflow, not a bolted-on afterthought.
What specific KPIs can we track for oil change efficiency?
Tailored to your shop, we focus on automotive-specific metrics like average oil change duration (targeting under 25 minutes for express services), bay turnover rate during lunch rushes, and inventory turnover for high-volume items like 5W-20 oil. You can also monitor upsell success rates on complementary services, such as brake fluid checks, and technician productivity per shift. Our dashboards visualize these in intuitive charts, with benchmarks drawn from industry data— for instance, top shops achieve 15 services per bay daily. We customize alerts for deviations, like a bay idling over 10 minutes, helping you hit efficiency goals and reduce costs by 20-30%. It's all built around your daily realities, from fleet accounts to walk-ins.
How long does it take to see ROI from a custom dashboard in our oil service business?
Most clients see tangible benefits within the first month, like a 15% drop in inventory waste from better forecasting during seasonal spikes. For a typical 4-bay oil change operation handling 150 services weekly, our dashboards can unlock $10K-$20K in annual savings through faster turnarounds and reduced stockouts. Full ROI—factoring in upsells and staffing optimizations—often hits within 3-6 months, based on our track record with similar SMBs. We base this on real metrics: one shop cut overtime by 40 hours monthly post-implementation. Your exact timeline depends on shop size, but we include performance audits at 30, 60, and 90 days to accelerate gains and adjust for your workflow.
Can the dashboard handle multi-location oil change franchises?
Absolutely—our solutions are designed for scalability, supporting centralized views across 2-10 locations with location-specific filters for things like regional oil preferences (e.g., more diesel in rural areas). We integrate disparate systems, aggregating data on total services, shared inventory pulls, and cross-site technician benchmarks into one enterprise-grade interface. Security is key; we use role-based access so managers see only their shop's bay metrics. From our experience with franchise clients, this setup has improved chain-wide efficiency by 25%, catching issues like uneven fluid distribution early. Deployment involves phased rollouts to minimize disruption, ensuring each site gets tailored customizations without overwhelming your team.
Is the dashboard accessible on mobile for on-the-go shop management?
Yes, our custom dashboards are fully responsive and optimized for tablets and phones, letting you check bay status or inventory levels right from the shop floor during a busy oil change rush. Features include swipeable KPI cards for quick glances at metrics like current queue length or low-stock warnings for ATF, with push notifications for urgent alerts. We've built this with automotive pros in mind—no clunky interfaces that slow you down. Testing shows 95% uptime on mobile, even in spotty shop Wi-Fi, and it's secured with biometric logins. Clients report saving 2-3 hours daily by ditching paper logs, making decisions faster whether you're in the office or overseeing a lift.
How do you ensure data security for sensitive customer vehicle information?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive services, where you're handling VINs, maintenance histories, and payment details. We use AES-256 encryption for all data in transit and at rest, compliant with standards like PCI DSS for payments and GDPR for customer privacy. Access is controlled via multi-factor authentication and audit logs tracking every view of oil service records. For oil change shops, this means safeguarding fleet data without exposing it during integrations. Our team conducts vulnerability assessments pre-launch and offers optional SOC 2 compliance audits. In practice, this has protected clients from breaches that plague 30% of unsecured SMB systems, giving you peace of mind while focusing on services.
