Certified Technicians. Free. By Appointment.

A trained Certified Technician checks your child's car seat and helps fix anything that isn't quite right. It's friendly, it's easy, and it takes about 20 minutes.

Most car seats aren't installed perfectly — even when parents do everything right. That's normal, and that's exactly why we're here. It's completely free. Nothing to buy, no cost, ever.

We hold these checks once a month at Matick Chevrolet, 14001 Telegraph Rd in Redford. Just click the button above to pick a time that works for you.

A Thorough, Hands-On Review

What Your Technician Checks

Every appointment covers the details that matter most for a correctly installed seat.

Recline Angle

Confirms your seat sits at the correct angle for your child's age and stage.

Harness Fit & Routing

Checks harness tightness, slot height, and routing so straps sit where they should.

Chest Clip Height

Makes sure the chest clip sits level with your child's armpits, not their belly.

LATCH vs. Seat Belt

Verifies you're using the right installation method — and using it correctly — for your vehicle.

Seat & Vehicle Compatibility

Confirms your specific car seat is compatible with your specific vehicle.

Rear- vs. Forward-Facing

Confirms your child is in the right stage for their current age, height, and weight.

Expiration & Recall Check

Checks your seat's expiration date and confirms there are no open safety recalls.

Booster Seat Readiness

Helps you know when your child is ready to graduate to a booster — and which kind.
