In the world of car dealerships, there’s an interesting unwritten rule: if a customer kicks the tire of a car, chances are they’re not going to buy it. Why? The act of kicking the tire often signals uncertainty. It’s a sign that the person may not fully understand what they should be looking for or what questions to ask, so they resort to superficial actions to seem knowledgeable. They’re caught up in the show of it rather than truly diving into what matters — like the vehicle’s performance, features, or long-term value.

This type of customer might go from dealership to dealership, unsure of what they really want, only to end up choosing the cheapest option in the end. Instead of focusing on what fits their needs best, they fall back on price as the deciding factor. The tire-kicker, without asking the right questions or engaging meaningfully with the sales process, misses out on discovering the true value of a vehicle.

For businesses, especially in the auto industry, it’s crucial to recognize these behaviors. Tire-kickers don’t need the cheapest car; they need guidance. It’s about turning that initial uncertainty into an opportunity to educate and help the customer make a well-informed decision.
