Carfit Virtual Workshop
Carfit Virtual Workshop
Making sure that you and your vehicle fit well together can be as important to your safety as the mechanical check up. The new CarFit Virtual Workshop will provide an in-depth look at several key aspects involved in getting a proper fit in your vehicle. Learn about what to look for when it comes to fit, the everyday household objects you can use to measure and make adjustments, and how this may keep you safer on the road.
During this FREE, 90-minute workshop you will learn:
- Actions you can take to improve your fit in your personal vehicle.
- How getting the proper fit in your vehicle may increase your safety and the safety of others on the road.
- When and how to connect with professionals and trained volunteers who can help you achieve a better fit.
