What To Expect During a Test Drive

Taking a test drive is one of the most important steps when buying a vehicle. It’s your chance to experience how a car handles, test out features, and see if it fits your driving style. At Olson Chevrolet, we make the process simple and stress-free so you can make an informed decision. Browse our inventory to find the perfect vehicle before your visit.

Preparing for Your Test Drive

Scheduling an Appointment

To ensure your vehicle is ready and waiting, it’s best to schedule a test drive in advance. You can call our dealership or book online. Scheduling ahead gives you dedicated time with a sales consultant and allows us to prepare the car exactly as you want it.

What to Bring

Bring your driver’s license and proof of insurance if required. It’s also helpful to prepare a list of questions about the vehicle’s features, safety, and financing options so you get the most out of your test drive. For questions about financing, visit our finance center.

During the Test Drive

Vehicle Walkaround

Before you start driving, take a moment to inspect the car. Check the exterior, tires, lights, and interior features. Our sales consultants will walk you through the key functions and technology to make sure you understand everything about the vehicle.

Starting and Driving the Vehicle

During the drive, test acceleration, braking, and steering. Try different driving conditions, like city streets, highways, and parking maneuvers, to see how the car handles in real-world situations.

Exploring Features

Adjust the seats, mirrors, and controls for your comfort. Test the infotainment system, safety technologies, and other features. This is your chance to ensure everything meets your needs before making a decision.

Asking Questions and Taking Notes

Don’t hesitate to ask your sales consultant about warranties, fuel efficiency, trim options, or other concerns. Take notes to compare vehicles if you plan to test drive multiple models. This helps you make a clear, informed choice. Learn more about our service and warranty programs.

After the Test Drive

Once the test drive is complete, share your feedback with the sales consultant. Discuss next steps, such as financing, trade-ins, or scheduling another test drive. The goal is to make sure you feel confident and comfortable before moving forward with your purchase.
