Please sign up for a 20 minute appointment time by calling 1.888.897.8979.
You may think your car already fits you — but chances are, a few small adjustments could make a big difference in how safely and comfortably you drive.
CarFit is a free, 20-minute drive-up appointment where a trained technician works with you one-on-one to make sure your vehicle is properly fitted to you. They'll check and adjust things like your seat position, mirrors, headrest, and steering wheel — the kinds of refinements that can eliminate blind spots, improve visibility, reduce your risk of injury, and help you feel more comfortable, in control and safe every time you get behind the wheel.
The program is open to drivers of all ages — whether you're a teen just starting out, an experienced driver, or someone whose needs have shifted over time. Most participants are surprised by how much they take away from this brief session.
Participants are asked to drive their own vehicles to this event. CarFit is provided in partnership…
