Rick Sage • February 27, 2026

Let's Talk About What Really Matters

The Results.


Because at the end of the day, it’s not about clicks.
It’s not about impressions.
It’s about revenue, retention, and real growth.

And in 2025, KUKUI shop owners delivered.


The Average KUKUI Shop in 2025


This is what success looked like last year:

  • $1,497,663 in annual revenue
  • 2.35 visits per customer
  • $1,565 spent per customer annually
  • $751 average repair order (ARO)
  • 911 leads generated
  • $251,513 in KUKUI-attributed marketing revenue


Read that again.


The average KUKUI shop isn’t just surviving — it’s building a high-performing, retention-driven, marketing-powered business.

  • More visits per customer.
  • Higher annual customer value.
  • Stronger ARO.
  • Consistent lead flow.
  • Quarter-million dollars directly tied to marketing efforts.


That’s not luck.  That’s strategy backed by the right platform.


Text Messaging That Turns into Revenue


In 2025, the average shop:

  • Sent 1,374 text messages
  • Generated $40,396 in revenue directly from text


Across all KUKUI shops:

  • 2,195,002 text messages sent
  • $46,668,073 in revenue generated


That’s not “reminder texts.”  That’s measurable, trackable revenue. When communication is timely, compliant, and customer-first, it converts.


Email That Still Delivers


While trends come and go, email continues to perform.


The average KUKUI shop:

  • Sent 5,036 emails
  • Converted 238 customers


Across all shops:

  • 10,863,820 emails sent
  • 513,418 customer conversions


That’s over half a million customers who came back because the right message hit at the right time.

Consistency compounds.


The Bigger Picture: Nearly $3 Billion in Revenue


Zoom out.

Across all KUKUI shops in 2025:

  • $2,972,860,778 in total revenue generated
  • 5,013,071 repair orders closed
  • 2,746,678 leads received
  • $547,186,167 in KUKUI Marketing Revenue


That’s over half a billion dollars directly attributed to marketing performance.

  • Not guesses.
  • Not assumptions.
  • Tracked, measured, proven growth.


  • Every repair order.
  • Every lead.
  • Every returning customer.
  • Every invoice closed.


It adds up.  And together, it nearly hit $3 billion.


These Aren’t Just Numbers


They represent:

  • Stronger customer relationships
  • Better retention strategies
  • Smarter marketing investments
  • Higher lifetime customer value
  • More predictable growth


  • When the average shop generates $1.5M…
  • When marketing drives $250K+ per location…
  • When customers return more than twice per year…


That’s not accidental. That’s operational excellence supported by technology built specifically for auto repair.
