How We Work
Our Seat Installation Process
Every seat installation follows a careful, structured process to ensure safety, security, and a clean finish that holds up on the road.
-
1 Seat Selection and Planning
We discuss your van model, how you use the space, and passenger requirements to select the right seat type and mounting configuration. -
2 Mounting Layout Design
Our technicians plan the exact seat position and track layout to ensure proper alignment with the van floor and sufficient leg room. -
3 Floor Preparation and Drilling
The van floor is prepared and drilled at precise mounting points rated for the seat load capacity and dynamic forces during travel. -
4 Seat Installation and Securing
Seats are mounted using manufacturer-approved hardware and torqued to specification, ensuring they are secure during highway travel and sudden stops. -
5 Safety Check and Inspection
Every seat installation is inspected for mounting integrity, range of motion, locking mechanisms, and seatbelt anchor points before completion.
