There’s nothing quite like the excitement of picking up your brand-new car. At Homer Skelton Ford in Olive Branch, we make sure your delivery day is smooth, fun, and stress-free. Still, before you drive off the lot, it’s important to go through a quick checklist to make sure everything is perfect.
1. Inspect the Exterior
Walk around your car and look for any scratches, dings, or imperfections in the paint or trim. Your new vehicle should be flawless, and if you notice anything, let us know right away—we’ll make it right before you leave.
Tip: Check the headlights, taillights, and turn signals to be sure they’re working properly.
2. Check the Interior
Open the doors, check the seats, and inspect all surfaces for cleanliness and quality. Adjust the driver’s seat, steering wheel, and mirrors to your comfort. At Homer Skelton Ford, every vehicle in our new car inventory goes through a detailed pre-delivery inspection, but we still encourage you to give it your own once-over.
3. Test the Technology
Before you hit the road, make sure you know how to operate:
-
Infotainment system
-
Bluetooth connectivity
-
Navigation
-
Backup camera
-
Climate controls
I will walk you through every feature so you’re confident and comfortable from day one.
4. Confirm All Keys, Manuals, and Accessories
You should receive:
-
Two full sets of keys or key fobs (if included)
-
Owner’s manual
-
Floor mats (if included)

Any accessories or add-ons you ordered
5. Review the Paperwork
We’ll go over your sales agreement, warranty documents, and service schedule. This is also the time to confirm your dealership financing details and make sure you understand your maintenance plan.
6. Take a Short Test Drive Before Leaving
Drive the car around the block with one of our team members to make sure it feels perfect. Check for any unusual noises, vibrations, or dashboard alerts. If something doesn’t feel right, we’ll address it immediately.
