Why Go to an Auto Show?

Car buying can be a huge undertaking. It’s stressful and makes the experience less than fun. At an auto show there is no hassle from a salesman, there is no haggling or attempts to sell you on why this is the car for you. At the Houston Auto Show you can find the car that meets your needs and THEN go to the dealership. You can shop across models and brands, sit inside every make and model and ask the automakers questions. All without feeling any pressure to buy. It is the most relaxed way to find your next car.

Ride (and Drive) Your Next New Car

Did you know that the Houston Auto Show offers exclusive Ride & Drive opportunities? You may be able to actually test drive the car you have been eyeing up on the show floor.

*Ride and Drive Requirements include:

  • Drivers must produce a valid driver’s license and age requirements vary by manufacturer
  • Child passenger restrictions vary, inquire at each Ride & Drive registration booth
  • All adults must provide follow-up information about themselves
  • All drivers and passengers must complete a Waiver of Liability
  • Drivers must pass a Breathalyzer Test
