We can totally understand why more and more people are avoiding test
drives, given what they must go through at a dealership and since, until
now, there have been no other options. That’s why we’ve created Test Drive
Studio — so you can test drive all the top-selling vehicles with no hassle
and no sales people. We want to make it convenient and fun to research and
compare your next new car! Check out another view of how test driving is changing.

Thank you to all those who attended the recent launch of Test Drive Studio! We hope you enjoyed the experience of test driving new vehicles with no salespeople around as much as we did providing it to you. Not only did you unanimously approve of our business idea, but also you provided terrific feedback that will help us take our next step – to build our first permanent facility with an inventory of 60-80 vehicles on hand to drive!

Please keep spreading the word about your experience. It would be particularly helpful if you contact any of the automobile manufacturers represented in our test drives (Subaru, Volkswagen, Ford, Toyota, and Honda) to tell them how much you enjoyed driving their vehicles at Test Drive Studio. Links to their Facebook pages are listed below. Also, if you encounter any web or blog posts devoted to test driving, please consider posting a note about your experience with us.

We will keep you posted on our progress, and don’t hesitate to ask us any follow-up questions you might have.

Best regards,

Bob Ostholthoff
President and Founder of Test Drive Studio

Test Drive Studio To Launch September 25, 2010

Provides Car Buyers Unprecedented Freedom

For many, the car buying experience is less than pleasant. Think of the time wasted driving to multiple dealers, haggling on price, hidden costs, pushy salespeople and the overall “game” when purchasing a vehicle.  We recognize this situation and that is why we created Test Drive Studio, a place where consumers can drive multiple brands in one location without the presence of a salesperson, free of charge, when the time is best for you.

The process could not be easier, just visit us at www.testdrivestudio.com or at our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/testdrivestudio and tell us what time you would like to show up and what vehicles you would like to drive – we will take care of the rest.  Take the time you need to compare and learn about the cars you drive in a stress-free and hassle-free environment.

And now, car buyers in and around Atlanta have the opportunity to be a part of this industry first for three consecutive weekends starting on September 25th and 26th.  Also, as an added incentive, each weekend we will give $500 toward the purchase of a new car to one lucky winner if they purchase within the next three months.  Toyota, Ford, Honda, Subaru and Volkswagen all in one location for the people of Atlanta to drive – without a salesperson as far as the eye can see.

From the relaxing atmosphere, to the ability to test drive a car in peace; Test Drive Studio is everything that the current car buying experience is not.  Instead of having the salesperson tell you about horsepower, safety features, miles per gallon and warranty, you can sit back and experience what different makes have to offer – talking to a friend or spouse, just enjoying the ride in silence, or sharing your thoughts and feelings online with your friends and family.

If you are thinking about that next new car, please visit us online and sign up for a time to take a test drive as spaces are limited to the first 240 drivers, and demand is high.
