Bring your valid driver's license-that's the main one! It's also smart to have your insurance information handy, though we can often proceed without it for a test drive. If you've already been approved for financing or want to start that process, bring proof of income and a recent pay stub or tax return. Our finance team can work with you even if you don't have everything on hand, so don't let that slow you down. Wearing comfortable clothes and shoes helps you relax and get a true feel for the vehicle's controls and comfort. Once you arrive, we'll take care of the rest and make sure you have a great experience test driving your potential next vehicle.
