Car Wash Industry Report: October 2025 Edition Released

The October Shift Is Here! The numbers from last week (Oct 5–11) are telling us something important: - Tire Sales: ↓ 10.06% - Overall Sales: ↓ 3.31% - Cars Serviced: ↑ 0.33% - Average Ticket: ↓ 3.63% After months of steady growth, U.S. auto shops hit their first real inflection point last week. Customers are still showing up – but they're spending less per visit, and tire sales dropped hard. This isn't panic territory, but it is a signal: the seasonal shift is here, and the shops that adapt fastest will own Q4. Time to lead with value, not wait for volume. #AutoIndustry #Aftermarket #SalesTrends #MarketGenie #DataDriven

Rising prices and the end of EV incentives are not slowing down car buyers. CivicScience declared consumer intent data show that 57% of all new vehicle leasers/buyers are at least ‘somewhat’ likely to choose an EV. Among them, 65% plan to buy or lease within the next year. EV buyers also differ in their priorities: how they research, where they receive information, and their top-of-mind concerns as they shop. With buying intent holding steady, a closer look at this audience reveals strategies to reach them and new opportunities for engagement before they buy.

What does ATV mean, and why does it matter in Retail? ATV = Average Transaction Value 👉 In simple terms, it’s the average value of each receipt. The formula: Total Sales ÷ Number of Transactions ➡️ The higher the number, the more each customer spends per visit. That means sales grow without needing more visitors. In other words: smart growth, not just harder work. That’s why focusing on quality of transactions is key. But what if ATV is low? We need to step back and identify where the issue comes from by analyzing two key metrics: 1. UPT (Units Per Transaction) = How many items are in each receipt. 2. ASP (Average Selling Price) = The average price per item. 💡 If UPT is low → customers are buying only 1–2 items and stopping there. Solution: Train the team on: Add-on selling: suggesting complementary items Link selling: related products that complete the purchase Cross-selling: products from another category that customers might also need 💡 If ASP is low → customers are choosing cheaper items. Solution: Review the product mix and highlight higher-value products Train the team on Upselling: recommending the higher or premium version of the same product ⚠️ One important note: An increase in ATV alone isn’t always a win. If the number of transactions drops while ATV rises, that’s fake growth. It means sales are coming from fewer customers—a red flag for long-term performance and a sign of weak productivity. 👉 At the end of the day, ATV isn’t just a number in a report. It’s a compass guiding us on where to focus, what to fix, and how to drive sustainable, smart growth in retail. #ATV #RetailTips #UPT #ASP #RetailMetrics #RetailAnalysis #BoostSales #RetailExcellence #CustomerExperience #SalesGrowth #RetailManagement #BusinessExcellence #RetailInsights #TargetSales #PerformanceAnalytics

Most salon owners look at total retail sales—but that number hides what’s really going on. Instead, track Average Retail Per Client (ARPC). How to calculate it: Total Retail Revenue ÷ Total Number of Clients Served If you made $1,200 in retail last week and saw 80 clients, your ARPC is $15 per client. Now you have a clear benchmark. If it’s under $10, your team isn’t recommending consistently. If it’s over $20, you’ve got strong trust and opportunity to scale. Start tracking ARPC weekly. Small increases here multiply your profit faster than adding new clients. Follow for more salon metrics that actually move the needle. #salonmetrics #salonowner #salonbusiness #saloncoach #salonsuccess #salonretail #growyoursalon
