KUKUI review

KUKUI is the most complete option here for a garage that wants its website to bring in booked cars rather than just list a phone number. The company says it has focused on auto repair for 15 years, and its product list reads like a shop owner's checklist: Website + SEO, digital ads, a CRM with email and text marketing, Live Scheduler, reviews and reputation, a loyalty program, AI call insights, web chat, digital vehicle inspections and postcards. Live Scheduler is the strongest piece for this list. It books around service types, existing appointments and technician availability, supports a Google Book Online button, lets customers attach photos, video or audio of the problem, and flags abandoned bookings so the front desk can follow up. The drawbacks are cost transparency and control. KUKUI does not publish prices and asks shops to book a 45-minute demo, Live Scheduler is limited to the Core and Complete plans, and this is a managed service rather than a builder you edit yourself.
