Lost revenue from untracked upsells like high-mileage oil additives during multi-bay quick lube operations
End-of-day reconciliation challenges matching supplier invoices for bulk motor oil deliveries against bay usage logs
Compliance issues verifying used oil disposal records and parts billing for OEM filters under EPA regulations
Delayed customer payments due to mismatched service records for oil changes and wiper fluid top-offs

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, Fridays were lost to reconciling invoices from our three quick lube bays, often miscounting bulk 5W-30 oil usage. Now, automation handles it flawlessly, cutting lube upsell errors by 50% and saving us 12 hours weekly. Cash flow from oil services is now predictable, up 15% quarter-over-quarter."
Mike Reynolds
Service Manager at Quick Lube Pros, a 5-bay chain in Texas
"We integrated AIQ with our POS system last quarter, eliminating the hunt for scribbled notes on air filter replacements during peak oil change rushes. Billing accuracy hit 99%, and we're now processing 20% more invoices per hour without overtime—transformed our high-volume days into profit machines."
Sarah Patel
Owner of Express Oil Services, an independent quick lube in California
"In our small 2-bay operation, manual invoicing eroded margins on busy oil change days, especially tracking supplier bills for synthetic oil drums. AIQ customized it to our workflow, automating bulk oil reconciliation too—we recovered $3K in overlooked additive upsells from last year's records alone."

Operations Director at Bayview Auto Care, a family-owned lube shop in Florida

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the high volume of quick oil changes?
Our custom AI is designed for the relentless pace of oil change shops. It processes service tickets in real-time as bays complete jobs, extracting details like oil type, mileage, and add-ons without pausing your workflow. Unlike generic tools, we build in buffers for 50+ daily services, ensuring 99% accuracy even during lunch rushes. Shops using our system report handling 30% more volume without extra staff, directly tying into faster turnarounds and happier customers. Integration with your POS means invoices generate automatically, slashing end-of-day admin from hours to minutes.
Will this work with our existing shop management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, custom integrations with platforms like Shop-Ware or Mitchell 1, creating seamless data flows that eliminate manual re-entry. For oil change specifics, the AI syncs bay logs directly to invoices, verifying labor times and parts used. No more mismatched records causing payment delays. Our approach involves a full audit of your setup first, so the build fits your exact tools—whether it's QuickBooks for accounting or a custom POS. Clients see full compatibility from day one, with zero downtime during rollout.
What kind of time savings can we expect for a small oil change shop?
For a typical 4-bay operation, expect 12-18 hours saved weekly on invoicing alone. Manual processes eat time on data entry, approvals, and error fixes—our AI automates it all, from scanning service pads to routing digital approvals. One client, a 10-employee shop, reclaimed 15 hours, redirecting them to customer service and boosting upsell rates by 15%. ROI hits 300% in the first year through reduced labor costs and recovered revenue from accurate billing of extras like air filters. It's not just savings; it's scalable growth without hiring.
How secure is the data in this custom invoice system?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where customer data like vehicle VINs and payment info is sensitive. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like PCI DSS for billing. AI processes data on your secure servers, not cloud rentals, ensuring you own and control access. Features include role-based permissions—so only bay managers approve high-value invoices—and audit logs for every transaction. We've fortified systems against common threats like supplier invoice fraud, giving shops peace of mind during busy seasons. Regular updates keep it robust.
Can this system scale if we add more oil change bays?
Yes, our architecture is built for growth. Starting with your current setup, we engineer modular AI components that expand effortlessly—adding bays means just tweaking the workflow, not rebuilding. For instance, it auto-scales processing for 20 to 50 daily oil changes, handling increased supplier invoices without slowdowns. Shops expanding from 4 to 8 bays report seamless transitions, with no dip in efficiency. Predictive features even forecast billing spikes during spring tune-up seasons, optimizing your cash flow proactively. It's future-proofed for your shop's ambitions.
What's the timeline for implementing this in our shop?
From consultation to launch, most oil change shops are up and running in 6-8 weeks. Week 1-2: We map your processes, like bay handoffs and lube supplier billing. Weeks 3-5: Custom build and integration testing under simulated rush conditions. Final weeks: Training and soft launch to catch any nuances. It's phased to minimize disruption—no closing bays for setup. Post-launch, we monitor for 30 days, fine-tuning for 100% fit. Clients appreciate the speed, seeing partial wins like automated ticket capture within the first month.
