What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our evening calls to voicemail—folks just went elsewhere for their 5-quart oil changes. Now, it's booking 15-minute slots at 10 PM, and our monthly revenue's up 18% without hiring more staff. Game-changer for our two-bay quick-lube operation during peak evenings."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle urgent after-hours oil change requests?
Our AI is designed for speed and reliability in automotive scenarios. It instantly checks your bay availability, confirms details like vehicle make and oil viscosity, and books the slot—all without human intervention. For true emergencies, like low-oil warnings, it prioritizes and alerts your on-call team. In testing with similar oil service clients, this cut response times from hours to seconds, capturing 90% of urgent leads that would otherwise be lost. It's like a night-shift mechanic who's always alert and never sleeps.
Can it integrate with our existing scheduling software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations tailored to automotive tools like Shop-Ware or Mitchell1. The chatbot pulls real-time data on open bays and service histories, then pushes bookings directly into your system. No more double-entry errors that plague manual processes. For one oil change chain, this setup reduced scheduling conflicts by 50%, ensuring smooth operations even during morning rushes. We handle the custom coding so it fits your workflow seamlessly.
What if a customer has a complex question about oil types?
The AI is trained on comprehensive automotive knowledge, covering everything from conventional to full-synthetic options and API ratings. It asks clarifying questions—like mileage or engine type—to provide accurate advice, then suggests the best slot for your express lane. If needed, it escalates to a human with full context. Clients see a 30% drop in escalations because the bot resolves 70% of queries independently, much like a seasoned counter tech but available round-the-clock.
Is the chatbot secure for handling customer data?
Security is paramount in our builds. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, ensuring oil service records and personal info stay protected. Data is stored in your owned system, not ours, giving you full control. For automotive partners, we've implemented role-based access so only authorized staff see sensitive details. This approach has helped shops avoid data breaches that cost the industry millions annually, keeping your operations compliant and trustworthy.
How much does customization cost for our oil change business?
Pricing is bespoke, starting around $5,000 for a tailored setup, depending on integrations like your POS or CRM depth. Unlike subscription models that nickel-and-dime you, this is a one-time build for lifetime ownership, with optional maintenance at $200/month. For a mid-sized oil service, ROI hits in 3 months through captured leads—our average client sees 25% revenue lift. We provide a free audit to scope exact needs, ensuring value from day one without hidden fees.
Will it work for multi-location oil change services?
Yes, our scalable architecture supports chains with multiple bays across locations. The central AI dashboard unifies inquiries, routing them to the nearest available shop based on GPS or preferences. It even balances loads during peaks, like fleet maintenance days. One regional provider integrated three sites and boosted cross-location bookings by 40%, turning distant inquiries into local revenue. We customize the logic to your geography and service variations for optimal efficiency.
