The "Missed Calls" Problem
After-hours customers hang up when lines are closed for quick lube oil changes, losing 20-30% of potential synthetic blend service bookings
Peak-hour call volume for 30-minute express oil services overwhelms front-desk staff, delaying accurate time estimates for customers with high-mileage sedans
Weekend inquiries for full synthetic oil swaps and filter replacements go unanswered due to limited staffing, driving clients to nearby quick-service competitors
Manual phone follow-ups on scheduled fleet oil analysis checks for diesel trucks consume valuable service bay time and reduce wrench-turning efficiency
Inaccurate call handling by overworked staff results in wrong appointment slots for high-mileage vehicles requiring premium 5W-30 oil changes
Seasonal surges in oil filter and drain plug change requests during spring road trips overload phone lines, causing delays in bay assignments

Why Choose Us
We craft bespoke AI voice agents tailored to the rhythms of oil change operations.

Available 24/7, they qualify leads instantly, book bays without errors, and escalate complex fleet maintenance talks to your team. This isn't a plug-and-play template; it's a precision-engineered extension of your workflow, built from the ground up to eliminate after-hours gaps and boost bay utilization by up to 40%.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Round-the-Clock Efficiency for Your Oil Change Shop
Capture Every After-Hours Lead
Capture Every After-Hours Lead: Never miss a midnight call from a driver needing an urgent 5W-20 oil top-off for their commuter sedan. Our AI agents respond instantly, gathering VIN details, engine type, and booking slots—resulting in 35% more captured opportunities for quick lube services and higher customer satisfaction scores within the first quarter.
Boost Appointment Fill Rates
Boost Appointment Fill Rates: Fill those empty evening bays with automated scheduling for synthetic oil swaps. The system cross-checks your calendar, confirms details like odometer mileage and preferred oil viscosity, and sends SMS reminders—cutting no-shows by 28% and maximizing revenue per technician during off-peak hours.
Streamline Peak-Hour Handling
Streamline Peak-Hour Handling: During lunch rushes when calls flood in for 15-minute express oil changes on compact cars, our agents triage inquiries, provide instant quotes based on API-rated oils, and queue complex fleet queries for staff. This frees your team to focus on lifts and diagnostics, not phones, improving overall shop throughput by 22% in high-volume periods.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose half our weekend calls for quick lube oil changes to voicemail, especially for high-mileage SUVs. Now, it's booking 15 extra appointments a week—mostly evenings for synthetic blends—and our techs are less stressed. Integrated seamlessly with our Shop-Ware scheduling software in just two weeks, boosting our bay utilization by 18%."
Mike Reynolds
Service Manager at QuickLube Pros, a chain specializing in express oil maintenance
"We implemented this for our three locations last quarter to handle fleet oil checks on heavy-duty pickups. The AI handles quoting for full synthetics accurately and even flags high-mileage needs for extended warranties. We've seen a 40% uptick in repeat business from commercial clients without hiring extra phone staff, saving us $12K in labor costs annually."
Sarah Kline
Owner of FleetOil Services, managing commercial vehicle maintenance for logistics firms
"Tired of competitors snagging our after-hours inquiries for premium oil filter changes, we went custom with AIQ last fall. The voice agent nails the details—like 0W-20 synthetic preferences for hybrids—and has filled our bays consistently with 25 more quick services booked per month. ROI hit in the first month, with a 15% increase in average ticket value from upsold additives."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle specific oil change questions like viscosity recommendations?
Our custom agents are trained on your shop's guidelines and general automotive best practices, responding accurately to queries about 5W-20 for newer engines or 10W-40 for older trucks. They pull from integrated knowledge bases to suggest based on make, model, and year—escalating to a tech only if needed. In testing with oil service clients, this has reduced misquotes by 45%, ensuring customers get precise info 24/7 without waiting for business hours. We fine-tune responses during deployment to match your exact protocols.
What if a caller has an urgent after-hours oil leak emergency?
The agent detects urgency from keywords like 'leaking' or 'check engine light' and prioritizes: offering immediate booking if bays are available, or routing to an on-call manager. It gathers details like location and symptoms upfront, logging everything into your CRM for follow-up. For one fleet client, this feature captured 12 emergency oil services in the first month alone, preventing roadside breakdowns and boosting loyalty. Safety first—our system never promises unsafe advice.
Can it integrate with my existing oil change scheduling software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep API integrations with platforms like Shopmonkey, Alliance, or custom systems, syncing availability, customer data, and service history in real-time. No more double-entry; a booked oil change updates your calendar instantly. During a recent rollout for a multi-bay shop, integration took just 10 days, cutting admin time by 15 hours weekly and eliminating booking conflicts that used to frustrate customers.
How secure is the AI for handling customer vehicle and payment info?
Security is enterprise-grade: We use end-to-end encryption for calls, comply with PCI DSS for any payment mentions, and store data in HIPAA-level compliant clouds. Vehicle details like VINs are anonymized where possible. Audited by automotive partners, our systems have zero breaches in 200+ deployments. For oil shops, this means peace of mind when qualifying leads or booking paid express services over the phone—your data stays locked down.
What’s the setup time and cost for a custom agent?
From consultation to launch, expect 4-6 weeks for a fully custom build, depending on your workflow complexity. Pricing starts at a one-time development fee tailored to your needs—no recurring subscriptions beyond optional maintenance. For a standard oil change setup, clients see payback in 2-3 months via increased bookings. We provide a detailed ROI projection upfront, factoring in your average ticket size and call volume to ensure it fits your budget.
Does the voice agent work for multi-location oil change chains?
Yes, designed for scalability across sites. It routes calls based on customer zip code or preference, syncing a central dashboard for all locations' performance. One chain with five shops reported 18% more cross-location referrals after implementation, as the agent suggests the nearest bay for quick oil changes. We customize per site—different hours, pricing, or specialties—while maintaining unified reporting to optimize fleet-wide efficiency.
