Car seat inspections
Statistics show that over 85% of children’s car seats are not installed correctly.
What is seemingly a simple chore is, in fact, a complex job. Proper installation of your child’s car seat is a priority at Francis Automotive. We are certified to check and install child safety seats. We are proud to offer this complimentary service as a commitment to the safety of you and our future customers.
On your behalf, we have engaged in extensive interactive courses, learning about crash dynamics, injury prevention strategies, child restraint selection and installation and vehicle occupant protection. It is our intention as a CPS technician, that we put our knowledge to work by conducting child safety seat checks where parents and caregivers receive education and hands-on assistance with the proper use of child restraint systems and seat belts.
As we celebrate our 5th year of car seat inspections, having secured over 500 child seats, we encourage you to make an appointment to ensure the safety of your newborn or your child who is ready to transition to a forward facing seat.
