Manual customer follow-ups missing upsell opportunities for synthetic oil upgrades
Technician downtime from inaccurate vehicle history lookups in the DMS, slowing oil drain and lube processes
Inconsistent service quality due to overlooked maintenance notes on repeat customers
Inconsistent service quality due to overlooked maintenance notes on repeat customers' brake and suspension records

Why Choose Us
One-size-fits-all software forces oil change shops into rigid workflows that ignore your unique bay layouts and customer rush patterns. We craft custom AI from the ground up, integrating seamlessly with your POS, CRM, and inventory tools. Think of it as upgrading from a standard carburetor to a precision-tuned fuel injection system—everything runs smoother, faster, and without the sputters. Our approach starts with auditing your daily operations, then deploys predictive models tailored to your exact needs, like forecasting lube demand based on local fleet data.
What Makes Us Different:

Maximize Bay Utilization
Maximize Bay Utilization: Predictive scheduling for oil changes and alignments fills 92% of bays during off-peak hours, turning potential downtime into $8,000 monthly revenue from additional lube jobs—proven across 200+ automotive integrations with shops handling 50+ vehicles daily.
Precision Inventory Control
Precision Inventory Control: AI forecasts needs for synthetic oils, air filters, and brake pads with 95% accuracy, slashing overstock by 30% and eliminating emergency runs to parts suppliers that disrupt your morning rush workflow.
Streamlined Customer Retention
Streamlined Customer Retention: Automated reminders for next oil change intervals and personalized upsell prompts for high-mileage synthetic upgrades increase repeat visits by 28%, building loyalty without extra staff hours on fleet accounts.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were scrambling with paper logs for 5W-30 oil and spin-on filter inventories, losing 4-5 hours weekly on stock checks during our Friday trucker rush. Their custom system now auto-orders based on our busiest days—Fridays with the fleet deliveries—and we've cut waste by half in just three months, saving $2,500 on overstock. It's like having an extra lube tech who never sleeps."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Quick Lube Express (independent chain serving 150+ vehicles weekly in Dallas)
"Our bays sat empty too often because of no-show walk-ins for quick oil top-offs. The AI scheduler they built analyzes our local commuter traffic patterns around rush hour and sends SMS reminders, filling slots with tire rotations we never could before. Revenue's up 22% year-over-year from better bay turnover, and my team's less stressed during peak seasons."
Sarah Patel
General Manager, AutoQuick Services (multi-bay franchise with 8 locations in the Midwest)
"Integrating with our legacy CDK DMS was a nightmare until AIQ stepped in for our fleet oil maintenance. Now, upsells for Mobil 1 synthetic oils and wiper blade replacements pop up automatically during check-in scans, and we've seen a 15% bump in average ticket from $45 to $52 without pushing customers. Solid work from a team that gets the high-volume shop floor."
Tom Ellis
Operations Director, Fleet Oil Centers (corporate fleet servicing 500+ commercial vehicles monthly)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle peak-hour rushes in oil change shops?
Our custom AI is designed for the unpredictability of automotive peaks, like weekend warrior influxes. It uses machine learning to analyze historical data from your shop—such as average service times for sedans versus SUVs—and dynamically adjusts scheduling. For instance, it prioritizes quick 10-minute oil top-offs during lunch rushes while reserving bays for full changes. Shops we've partnered with report 25% fewer delays, with the system even suggesting staff reallocations. Integration with your existing calendar ensures no double-bookings, and it's all built to scale as your volume grows without performance lags.
What makes your inventory forecasting specific to oil and lube products?
Unlike generic tools, our forecasting models are trained on automotive-specific variables like seasonal driving patterns, local weather impacts on oil viscosity needs, and your shop's repeat customer data. We pull from your POS history to predict demand for 5W-30 versus synthetic blends, reducing overstock that ties up capital. One client avoided $12,000 in excess inventory last winter by auto-ordering based on fleet maintenance cycles. The system integrates directly with suppliers for just-in-time deliveries, cutting manual checks and ensuring bays never idle due to missing filters.
Can this AI integrate with our current shop management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations with platforms like Mitchell1 or Tekmetric, creating a unified system without data silos. For oil change services, this means real-time syncing of vehicle VINs for service history, automatic parts deduction from inventory, and instant invoice generation post-lube. Our engineers handle the heavy lifting, testing for edge cases like high-volume days. Clients typically see setup in 4-6 weeks, with ongoing support to prevent disruptions. It's not superficial Zapier links—it's robust code ensuring reliability during your busiest shifts.
How secure is the AI for handling customer vehicle data?
Security is paramount in automotive, where VINs and service records contain sensitive info. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with GDPR and CCPA standards, using AWS secure hosting or your on-premise servers. Access controls limit data to authorized staff, and AI models anonymize patterns for predictions without exposing personal details. For oil change shops, this means safe storage of mileage logs for warranty claims. We've audited systems for 50+ clients, with zero breaches, and include regular vulnerability scans. Your data ownership means you control everything—no third-party risks.
What's the ROI timeline for implementing this in our oil change business?
Most clients recoup investment within 3-6 months through efficiency gains. For a typical 6-bay shop, expect 20-30% faster turnaround times, translating to $20,000+ annual revenue from added services. Inventory savings alone can hit 15-25% by avoiding stockouts during promotions. We track metrics like bays-per-hour and upsell conversion from day one, providing dashboards to monitor progress. One partner, a mid-sized chain, broke even in 10 weeks by filling no-show slots with AI predictions. Our model is fixed-price, so no surprises, focused on your unique workflow for maximum impact.
Do you offer training for my team on the new AI tools?
Yes, comprehensive training is included to ensure smooth adoption. We conduct on-site or virtual sessions tailored to oil change staff—mechanics learn voice commands for logging fluid types, while front-desk handles AI-assisted bookings. Sessions last 4-8 hours, with follow-up check-ins at 30 days. Materials include quick-reference guides for common tasks like querying stock levels mid-service. We've trained 300+ automotive teams, reducing learning curves by 40% compared to generic software. The goal: your crew uses it intuitively, boosting productivity without added headcount.
