Most breakdowns don't come out of nowhere. Your engine leaves evidence — in the oil — weeks or months before the failure. Predictive maintenance is simply reading that evidence: a $50 oil sample, analyzed by a lab and AI, that tells you what's wearing out and roughly how long you've got.
Not "your turbo is dead." More like: "your turbo's got about two months — schedule it, or meet it on the shoulder of I-40."

The math
- One roadside engine failure: $500–$1,000 tow + $15,000–$25,000 in-frame + days of lost revenue ≈ $20,000+
- One predictive oil sample: $50. Less than one steer tire.
How it actually works (3 steps)
- Your shop pulls a small oil sample during a regular service — takes minutes.
- The lab + AI read it — wear metals, coolant, fuel dilution — and watch the trend across samples.
- You get a plain-language report — what's wearing, what's coming, and how long. You schedule the work on your terms.
Shops batch 10 samples at a time ($500, free shipping) — that's why this runs through your shop, not as a one-off purchase.

Quick answers
Does this replace oil changes? No. An oil change resets the clock; an analysis reads the diary. Do both.
Is it only for fleets? It started there. Now independent shops can offer it — that's the whole point of this page.
What does the shop pay? $50 a sample, 10 for $500, free shipping when batched. One caught repair pays for the batch many times over.
