My new Powerchair

I have had my eye on a power chair and was told Ableworld stocked it, my Husband and I drove to take a look and they didn’t have one in Woolston Southampton, but speaking to Amy, she offered to order one in, I said I only wanted to Look at this stage, no problem I was told.
2 days later I was told it had arrived, I said I wouldn’t be able to get there till following week, again, no problem.
We went to Store on Monday, had a demonstration and I was so happy when my Hubby bought it for me.
Dean, who served us , Amy who ordered it, and all the staff in this branch were so highly professional and friendly, I would recommend them to anyone who maybe in need of a little help x

Great visit.

Visited the Crewe store - was served by Jay & Amy.
First time in ableworld with my elderly mother in law.
Absolutely fantastic service. Above & beyond. I also noticed how clearly Jay spoke for my MIL as he picked up she was hard of hearing.
He also took time and care in explaining everything to her.
Amy helped us find everything we needed.
I will always use this store now. Thank you Jay & Amy.
And the chair was delivered and is perfect.

Thank you Tony and Shaun

Visited the Cardiff branch and spoke with Tony and Shaun. They were extremely knowledgable and the service they provided was exceptional. We were looking to purchase a lift and recline chair and they immediately went out of their way to deliver a demonstration model to our mums home, which enabled her to try out the chair to ensure it was the correct fit and suitable for her needs. Thank you so much.

Eccellent Service

Excellent prompt service from moment of enquiry for stairlift, getting quote, and eventual installation. Cannot praise Graham, the chairlift installer, for his prompt arrival on time and working until completion of installation and his instructions on use before leaving premises.

Susie of the Broxburn West Lothian Store was so helpful and made our purchase of 2 recline and rise chairs go like clockwork. We ordered them on a Monday and they were delivered on the Friday and assembled by two very capable gentlemen. The service of all concerned was exceptional!
Well done one and all.

Great service and help

I recently took my elderly mother to the Woolston, Southampton branch of Ableworld as she was looking to buy a small mobility scooter. We received 5 star service from Dean who explained everything clearly to mum about the different advantages of the various scooters that he had in stock. I would definitely recommend Ableworld as they have an enormous variety of assistance aids for almost every need and the knowledge to go with them. Thank you Dean!

Very good speedy helpful service.

My son and I arrived in Wigan about 3.30pm. I had a very swollen ankle and decided a hired wheelchair would help me for the 5 days I was staying in Wigan. By 4.50pm I was in Wigan store and was extremely very happy with a wheelchair that Peter & Julie sorted me out with.It was fantastic service and information. They treated us very kindly, it was helpful as I was in pain and upset. They were a life saver as I was able to get out and about easier during our short break at Wigan.Also it was a very reasonable price.Thank you..

Excellent experience

I went to pick up a click and collect order, and the staff member that saw to my order could not have been more helpful. She was just great, helping me get a couple of bulky items in the car. In a world that isn't always easy for carers, she absolutely made my day. It might sound small but it really mattered! Thank you so much.

Visited the Shrewsbury store last week…

Visited the Shrewsbury store last week to find a lightweight Mobility Scooter. Mark was incredibly helpful, very informative and knowledgeable. No hard sell.
Returned earlier today to pick it up.
Mark ran through how it worked etc again and put it in the car for me.
Highly recommended visiting this store.

Money grabbing

Got a quote for a double curved stair lift, came to 6k. Needed time to release the funds, by the time I had the money and I went to order the price had gone up.
I asked to speak to a manager but would not budge an inch.
I explained what I needed and the staff member seemed to know what he was doing and suggested the best option.
The staff who came and measured and installed were very friendly.
Upon the end of a day's installation I was asked to test it for my parents.
It went up great and the chair turned for ease of access onto the landing.
I came back down and went to turn the seat to access the hall way but the chair which is facing the wall and 6 inches from my knees won't turn!
Asked the engineer why and he said it only turns one way!
Very angry at this point as I feared my parents wouldn't be able to use it at all.
Got on the phone to the manager and was asked if "I assumed it would turn"?
After 6k, yes I assumed they could get on and off it unaided.
The manager then proceeded that they could order a new 6k lift that did turn both ways and give me a 10% discount! I'm not making this up.
After further discussion she told the engineer to disconnect the stair lift if I wouldn't pay.
So basically my father can squeeze on it but I have to be there to help my mother on and off, which means she has to stay upstairs till I get home from work at lunch time.
Moral of the story don't assume you are getting a usable product

Hi Paul,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience hasn’t met expectations, and we appreciate the chance to offer some clarity.

As a company, we’re always transparent about the costs of the stairlifts we supply. We don’t negotiate pricing at the point of sale, as we believe in offering fair and consistent pricing to all customers. We do, however, run various promotions throughout the year, and all quotations remain valid for 30 days. With a four-month gap between your first and second quotation, it isn’t always possible for us to honour an earlier price, especially if promotions or costs have changed during that time.

Our aim is always to recommend the most suitable product for the user’s needs, and at the time of assessment, we provide all available options.

We’re pleased to hear your positive comments about our survey and installation teams, and we’re sorry that your experience afterwards caused frustration and concern.

Thank you for providing your details to our aftercare team. As the installation was completed over 14 months ago, we appreciate the opportunity to review the situation and respond to you directly.
