What Happened
Your vehicle's front seat belts may not extend and retract smoothly, which can make them inconvenient to use.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seat belts are hard to use, you might not wear them properly, which increases the risk of injury in a crash.
Free Fix
We'll install a small stopper on each front seat belt guide for free, so your seat belts will work smoothly again.
