Why Choose Us
Generic lead gen tools treat every business like a cookie-cutter operation, ignoring the unique rhythm of oil change services—from handling urgent fleet calls to nurturing seasonal drivers. We build custom AI systems that fit your exact needs. Think of it as custom-tuning an engine for peak performance: our solution scrapes targeted sources like local fleet directories and enriches leads with vehicle history data, then integrates directly into your CRM. No more juggling disconnected apps. Short bursts of efficiency replace long hours of manual work. Result? A steady pipeline of qualified appointments, customized to your bay capacity and service specials.
What Makes Us Different:
Proven Efficiency Gains for Your Shop
30% Increase in Booked Appointments
30% Increase in Booked Appointments: Our custom AI prioritizes leads with high conversion potential, such as drivers overdue for 5W-30 synthetic oil swaps based on mileage data. Shops see bookings rise as the system nurtures prospects with personalized SMS reminders tied to vehicle service intervals, cutting no-shows by 25%. No more chasing ghosts—focus on wrench time while AI handles the pipeline, with one client booking 50 additional oil changes in the first quarter.
Cut Lead Acquisition Costs by 40%
Cut Lead Acquisition Costs by 40%: Forget bloated ad spends on irrelevant traffic from broad searches. Our tailored engine targets local drivers querying 'quick lube near me' or 'transmission fluid change,' enriching data with VIN details to filter out tire-kickers. This precision reduces wasted marketing dollars, with one client slashing their cost per lead from $15 to under $9 in just three months while boosting qualified inquiries for alignments by 35%.
24/7 Lead Response Without Extra Staff
24/7 Lead Response Without Extra Staff: After-hours calls for emergency brake fluid top-offs or coolant leaks? Our AI voice agents qualify them instantly by verifying vehicle make and model, booking slots before competitors wake up. This round-the-clock coverage boosts customer satisfaction scores by 28%, turning one-time fluid services into loyal regulars who return every 30,000 miles for full diagnostics.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd get inquiries from fleet operators about diesel filter replacements but lose half because we couldn't follow up fast enough during peak seasons. Their custom system now pulls in 15 solid leads a week by integrating with our scheduling software, and we've added two more service bays just to handle the volume from new contracts. It's like having an extra salesperson who never sleeps, especially for those urgent DOT compliance checks."
Mike Rodriguez
Owner, Quick Lube Express
"Generic tools drowned us in bad data—wrong phone numbers, outdated odometer readings for high-mileage vehicles. AIQ built something that actually understands oil change cycles based on manufacturer recommendations and filters for drivers with over 100,000 miles. In four months, our repeat business for synthetic blends jumped 22%, and we're finally profitable on winter tire and oil promotions after years of losses."
Sarah Jenkins
Operations Manager, AutoCare Services
"We were buried in manual entry for every fleet inquiry, from engine diagnostics to transmission services. Now the AI enriches leads with detailed service history from DMV records and auto-books them into our bays. Last quarter alone, it generated $18K in new contracts for commercial van maintenance that we would've missed entirely. Game-changer for a small independent shop like ours competing with big chains."

General Manager, Fleet Oil Pros

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom lead generation differ from off-the-shelf tools for oil change services?
Off-the-shelf platforms push generic funnels that ignore the urgency of oil changes or fleet schedules, often leading to 40% lead drop-off from poor targeting. We build bespoke AI that scrapes sources like automotive forums for drivers with high-mileage vehicles, enriches with specifics like last service date, and automates responses tailored to your shop's specials. This creates a 30% higher conversion rate because it's molded to your workflow—handling quick lube requests separately from full synthetic jobs. No more wasting time on unqualified leads; our system delivers precision, like tuning a V8 for exact RPMs.
What kind of leads can I expect for my oil change business?
Our AI targets high-intent prospects: local commuters due for routine changes, fleet managers needing bulk services, and seasonal drivers prepping for road trips. By analyzing public data from DMV records and search trends, it identifies those searching 'oil change near me' with vehicles over 5,000 miles since last service. Expect 20-50 qualified leads weekly, enriched with contact details and preferences, integrated directly into your CRM. One client saw 65% of these convert to appointments within 48 hours, far surpassing generic ad campaigns that flood you with irrelevant traffic.
How long does it take to set up the custom AI lead system?
From initial consultation to full launch, it's typically 4-6 weeks for oil change providers. We start with a deep dive into your current setup—bay capacity, peak hours, customer types—then blueprint the AI over 1-2 weeks. Coding and integration take 2-3 weeks, with rigorous testing in simulated shop scenarios. Unlike no-code tools that deploy overnight but crumble under volume, our production-grade build ensures reliability. Post-launch, we optimize based on your first leads, so you're generating bookings without disrupting daily operations.
Will this integrate with my existing shop management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like Shop-Ware, Mitchell1, or even custom QuickBooks setups common in automotive services. The AI pulls in real-time data—like open bays or inventory of oil types—and pushes qualified leads directly into your scheduler, automating confirmations. No more double-entry errors that delay services. For instance, if a lead mentions a diesel truck, it cross-checks your stock and books accordingly. This unified flow cuts admin time by 25 hours weekly, letting your team focus on turns instead of typing.
What results have other oil change shops seen?
Clients report 25-40% revenue uplift in the first quarter, driven by consistent lead flow during slow periods. A mid-sized chain in Texas went from 12 sporadic inquiries weekly to 35 high-quality ones, adding $45K monthly from fleet contracts alone. Another small shop reduced no-show rates by 18% through AI-nurtured reminders for synthetic oil swaps. These aren't hypotheticals—our systems are benchmarked against industry standards, where average shops lose 30% of potential business to slow follow-up. We track your KPIs to ensure similar, tailored outcomes.
Is the system secure for handling customer vehicle data?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where privacy laws like CCPA apply to service histories. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with SOC 2 standards, ensuring lead data—from VINs to contact info—is protected end-to-end. Unlike cloud-dependent tools vulnerable to breaches, our owned systems give you full control, with audit logs for every interaction. We've deployed similar setups for shops handling sensitive fleet data without a single incident, maintaining trust while scaling your lead gen.
