What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were buried under resumes every time a lube tech quit during the mid-summer rush, spending hours filtering for ASE-certified guys with quick-lube bay experience. Now, the system auto-screens for those skills, and we've hired three solid mechanics in the last month without missing a beat on our 10-bay schedule—saving us about 15 hours a week and boosting our oil change output by 20%."
Mike Reynolds
Operations Manager, QuickLube Pros (15 Locations in Midwest)
"Hiring service advisors used to mean pulling managers off the floor during peak hours for interviews, costing us real money in slowed oil changes and delayed alignments. Their custom setup integrated with our scheduling software and cut our time-to-hire from six weeks to ten days for roles needing upselling expertise. No more overtime scrambles—it's been a game-changer for our two locations, reducing missed appointments by 25%."
Sarah Patel
Owner, Express Oil Network (Franchise with Focus on Express Services)
"We expanded to a third shop last year and were drowning in applicant tracking for techs skilled in fluid changes and diagnostics. AIQ built us an AI that matches skills to our exact needs, like Jiffy Lube-style certifications and tire rotation proficiency. Hired five new techs in under a month, dropped our turnover by 30%, and kept all bays running at 90% capacity during the launch—no regrets, wish we'd done this sooner."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI handle screening for specific oil change skills like ASE certification?
Our custom AI is trained on your exact requirements, parsing resumes for keywords like ASE L1 certification, quick-lube experience, and fluid handling expertise. It scores candidates against your shop's needs—say, prioritizing those with 5+ years in high-volume bays—reducing manual review by 80%. We've seen shops cut unqualified applicants by 70%, focusing only on techs who can hit the ground running during peak seasons. The system learns from your feedback, refining matches over time for even better precision.
What kind of time savings can we expect in our daily operations?
For oil change services, manual recruiting often eats 15-25 hours weekly from managers who should be overseeing bays. Our automation handles sourcing, screening, and scheduling, reclaiming those hours for revenue-generating tasks. Clients report 20+ hours saved per week, translating to a 25% productivity boost and $20K-$40K in annual cost reductions per location. It's like adding an extra bay without the overhead—pure efficiency for your results-driven workflow.
Is this system customizable for multi-location oil change businesses?
Absolutely. We design it to scale across your shops, integrating with centralized HR tools while respecting location-specific needs, like urban vs. rural tech sourcing. The AI adapts to varying bay volumes and shift patterns, providing unified dashboards for oversight. One chain with five locations saw hiring centralized yet localized, dropping overall time-to-hire by 50% and ensuring consistent staffing during chain-wide expansions. No one-size-fits-all; it's built for your exact operational rhythm.
How secure is the data in your recruiting automation?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive hiring, where candidate data includes sensitive certifications. We use enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with GDPR and CCPA, with role-based access to protect info like resumes and interview notes. Data stays within your owned system—no third-party subscriptions risking breaches. Our track record shows zero incidents across 150+ deployments, giving you peace of mind as you automate without the vulnerability of fragmented tools.
What's the ROI timeline for implementing this in our shop?
Most oil change clients see ROI within 3-6 months, with immediate wins like 15 hours/week saved starting week one. Full payback comes from reduced turnover (40% drop) and faster hires (3x speed), yielding $45K+ annual savings for a mid-sized operation. We benchmark against industry standards—your $10K-$20K investment pays off through efficiency gains, like fewer overtime shifts during oil change surges. It's a proven, quantifiable shift from manual waste to automated precision.
Can it integrate with our existing shop management software?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like Shop-Ware or Tekmetric, pulling in real-time data on staffing needs and syncing new hires directly to schedules. No more manual data entry that causes errors in bay assignments. For one client, this cut integration time from weeks to days, ensuring seamless flow from hire to first oil change shift. It's custom-engineered to eliminate silos, creating a unified system that boosts your overall efficiency.
