Kelly Stumpe (aka The Car Mom) is disrupting the auto-sales industry one online car tour at a time. Kelly was raised in the automotive industry and began working at her family's BMW  dealership in 2016.

The Car Mom was started by Kelly Stumpe in June of 2020. Kelly has been around the automotive industry her whole life. Her family owns a group of dealerships in the St. Louis area. She began her career in the industry in 2016 as a client advisor at BMW of West St. Louis. Kelly fell in love with sales and knew she found her calling. Kelly had her first child in 2019 and realized the only job harder than 65 hour work week in automotive sales is being a stay-at-home mom. Fast-forward to 2020, the Coronavirus pandemic hit and Kelly was pregnant with baby #2. Kelly thought, “It's hard enough to take my one child to the grocery store right now; I can't imagine moms having to go to a car dealership during this.” She thought, “What if I used my resources and knowledge to review cars for moms so they don't have to waste time going to every dealership?” and that's when The Car Mom was born. Today I get to sit down with Kelly to ask her all about her mission with the car mom. We talk about how to make a good purchase, the vitality of choosing a good salesperson, what to look for in your first family car, what her favorite cars are right now, and her advice to moms who want to be entrepreneurs too.

This means that trained technicians (who complete a standardized AAA-certified course) are on hand to inspect and correct the installation of child safety seats.These technicians make sure that the seats being used have not been recalled due to a safety defect or been made unsafe because they were involved in a previous car crash.Technicians also check to make sure that the child using the seat is the right age and weight for that seat.Inspection stations are frequently located at local automobile dealerships, police stations, fire houses, hospitals, and many more places. To find an inspection station in your area, please visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Web site: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cps/cpsfitting/index.cfm. Inspection stations also can be found by calling 1-866-SEAT-CHECK or visiting http://www.seatcheck.org/.Another option is locating a few certified child passenger safety (CPS) technicians in your area and enlisting their support. There are thousands of certified CPS technicians currently out there who are ready and able to assist. Parents can take their vehicle and child to the technician, and oftentimes they will come to you.Visit:  http://www.nhtsa.gov/Safety/CPS.
