The Carnamic Experience

We want to make the car shopping experience positive for every customer. That’s why each of our vehicles is listed online, including all specs and features. Our shopping tool allows you to narrow down the search to find just what you’re looking for, all before you even step foot in our dealership. Along with the features you want, every vehicle has a simple price listed so you never need to worry about being surprised. We break down the price to include any discounts and additional charges, like our paint and fabric protection, so the final price is right there for you to see. Then, once it’s time to schedule your test drive, drop in at any of our Bay Area dealerships. Looking for the new Outlander PHEV in Hayward? Want the luxury INFINITI experience? There’s something for everyone at Carnamic.

Test Driving Tips

Is this your first test drive? Haven’t shopped around in a while? Instead of being overwhelmed, you can follow these tips to help you narrow your search and choose the vehicle of your dreams.

  • Make a list of must-have features before you start looking for a vehicle. If you have your heart set on leather seats or want advanced driver assist technology, only search for vehicles that actually have what you want.
  • Bring your driver’s license to your test drive. We need to make a copy and have it on file before you get behind the wheel, and forgetting to bring it means you have to make another trip.
  • Take notes. When you test out multiple vehicles in a row, it can be easy forget what you do and don’t like about each. After each test drive, jot down a few notes in your phone or on a notepad to help keep everything straight.
  • Always ask questions! Not sure what that knob does? Want to know how the infotainment system works? Our staff members are knowledgeable and helpful, and we love to demonstrate how everything works for you.
  • Try to drive the vehicle in multiple settings when possible. That is, take it on city streets, residential roads, and highways to see how it handles in every situation.
