So, you’ve put in all your research, narrowed your list, and driven to the dealership. Now comes the fun part: the test drive. You’re excited, and rightfully so. But while a test drive is an enjoyable experience, it’s also arguably the most important stop on your car-buying journey.

But isn’t doing your homework online sufficient?

Though it’s vital to learn as much information as possible beforehand, it’s still not enough. A new or used car can look perfect on paper, but fall flat on the road. Or it might simply not be the right choice for you. You want a vehicle that’s going to be a companion for many miles and years to come. So what should you look for at the dealership?

Here are some keys to consider before we hand you the keys for your test drive at any one of our Zimbrick locations.
