Looking After Your Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle

WAV Servicing & Maintenance

Servicing For Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles

Most Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles can be serviced at a regular garage or dealership. Your local main brand dealer can carry out scheduled maintenance and repairs of a wheelchair adapted vehicle.

This does not include some aspects of the conversion, such as ramp and restraint systems. Some parts such as the fuel tank or suspension components may also be replaced during the conversion process, and so require the convertor to maintain them.

You can find your local dealer for common brands here:
