We craft a custom CRM from the ground up, designed exclusively for your oil change workflow. No more wrestling with off-the-shelf software that ignores your bay rotations or quick-lube rhythms. Our system integrates seamlessly with your POS and scheduling tools, using AI to score leads based on service urgency—like flagging a high-mileage sedan for an immediate synthetic oil upsell.

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Gains Tailored to Your Shop
Boost Lead Conversion by 35%
Boost Lead Conversion by 35%: Our custom AI scoring identifies hot leads—like customers needing urgent oil top-offs based on low-mileage alerts—prioritizing them for immediate bay slots. Shops using similar systems report closing 35% more services within 48 hours, turning one-time oil changes into loyal maintenance plans without extra staff hours.
Cut Administrative Time by 50%
Cut Administrative Time by 50%: Manual entry of VINs and service histories vanishes. The CRM auto-pulls vehicle data from OBD-II integrations, schedules follow-ups for next oil intervals, and suggests upsells like air filters based on mileage logs. This frees your team from paperwork, letting techs focus on bays—resulting in 20% faster turnarounds for express lube services and happier customers during rush hours.
Scale Without Subscription Headaches
Scale Without Subscription Headaches: Own a unified system that grows with your locations, avoiding the chaos of juggling multiple apps. Integration with your existing POS and inventory tools ensures real-time updates on tire and fluid stock for seasonal upsells, preventing stockouts that kill momentum on alignments and oil bundles, keeping your revenue engine running smoothly across 5+ bays.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd lose half our walk-ins because follow-ups got buried in voicemails after peak oil change rushes. Now, the CRM pings us right when a bay opens for quick lubes, and we've added 15 extra oil changes a week just from better timing—boosting monthly revenue by $2,500. It's like having an extra manager watching the schedule 24/7."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Quick Lube Express (3 locations in Texas)
"Our old setup couldn't track customer oil preferences from prior visits, so we'd guess on synthetics for high-mileage vehicles and lose trust. This custom build pulls history automatically via VIN scans—last month, it helped us upsell cabin air filters to 60% of repeat oil customers, adding $4K to revenue without pushing harder on the shop floor."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, AutoQuick Services (Independent Lube Chain)
"During winter tire season, leads dropped off because we couldn't follow up fast on filter inquiries. The AIQ system automated texts tied to our bays for tire rotations, recovering 20 leads in a single week and converting them to $3,000 in upsell services. No more missed opportunities; it's transformed our slow days into steady income from seasonal maintenance."
Tom Herrera
General Manager, SpeedOil Centers (Franchise with 4 Bay Locations)

What's Included
Common Questions
How does this custom CRM handle high-volume walk-ins during morning rushes?
Our system is engineered for the chaos of oil change peaks, capturing leads via quick-scan QR codes or voice inputs at the counter. AI instantly scores them by urgency—say, a taxi with a check-engine light gets top priority—and syncs to available bays. Unlike rigid templates, it's built to process 50+ inquiries per hour without lag, drawing from our experience optimizing for quick-lube shops. We've seen clients reduce wait times by 25%, turning potential walk-aways into booked services. Setup includes training to ensure your front desk uses it effortlessly from launch.
Can it integrate with our existing POS for oil and filter inventory?
Absolutely. We create deep, two-way integrations with popular POS systems like those from NCR or Square, pulling real-time stock levels for 5W-30 synthetics or cabin filters. When a lead books, the CRM checks availability and flags low stock for reorders, preventing those awkward 'out of stock' moments that kill upsells. This custom link eliminates manual checks, saving hours weekly. For one client, it cut inventory errors by 40%, directly boosting per-service revenue. We test every connection rigorously to ensure it withstands your busiest days.
What makes this different from off-the-shelf CRMs like HubSpot for my shop?
Off-the-shelf tools are like a one-size-fits-all wrench—they work okay but slip on specialized jobs. Our custom CRM is forged for oil change specifics: it tracks VIN-linked service histories, automates mileage-based reminders, and ties leads directly to bay slots. No bloat from unrelated features; everything's streamlined for efficiency. Industry data shows generic CRMs lead to 30% lead leakage in service sectors due to poor customization. We build yours to fit your workflow precisely, with AI that learns from your data—resulting in 35% higher conversions, as proven in our deployments.
How long does it take to build and see results from the CRM?
From initial consult to full deployment, we're typically 8-12 weeks for a tailored oil change CRM, depending on integration complexity. We start with a rapid prototype in week 2, so you see value early—like automated lead alerts. Post-launch, optimization kicks in immediately, with clients reporting 20% efficiency gains in the first month from better follow-ups. It's not a slow rollout; we prioritize quick wins, such as syncing your current leads database on day one. Our track record shows full ROI within 4-6 months through increased bookings and reduced no-shows.
Is the system secure for handling customer vehicle and contact data?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where VINs and personal info are goldmines for fraud. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access (e.g., techs see only bay-relevant data), and compliance with standards like GDPR and CCPA. Custom firewalls protect against breaches, and we include audit logs for every lead interaction. Unlike subscription tools with shared vulnerabilities, your owned system stays patched via our support. One shop avoided a potential data leak thanks to our proactive monitoring, saving thousands in fines and rebuilding trust with customers.
How customizable is it for seasonal promotions like holiday oil specials?
Fully customizable— we design the CRM to adapt to your calendar, like auto-tagging leads for winter blend promotions or summer filter deals. AI analyzes past responses to predict engagement, triggering personalized emails or texts. For instance, it can segment high-mileage fleets for bulk discounts. This flexibility means no manual campaigns; the system runs them seamlessly alongside daily ops. Clients have seen 25% uplift in seasonal upsells, with the setup taking just a configuration tweak. It's built for your unique promo rhythms, not generic templates.
