Car dealerships in the UK are under pressure to deliver faster, more personalised buying experiences without overwhelming their sales teams. Customers want to browse models, configure features, and even explore financing options — all without feeling rushed or sold to. The traditional showroom model just doesn’t cut it anymore.
Enter self-service kiosks. These powerful tools are quietly changing how car dealerships operate, offering everything from interactive vehicle customisation to real-time finance calculators. Yet, despite their growing popularity, one standout feature often goes unnoticed: the ability to put the full purchasing experience directly into the hands of the buyer.
In this article, we’ll explore how self-service kiosks — like Kleo’s floor stand, wall mount, and desktop models — are helping UK car dealerships drive customer engagement and close deals faster, thanks to interactive tools that make car buying feel like car owning from the start.

Common challenges include:

It’s not just about browsing cars; it’s about taking control of the buying journey.
