Prior to the fitting we visited Des Gosling for a demonstration. The hoist was ordered by our dealer and when our new car finally arrived a date for fitting was arranged. The fitter turned up on time... See more

Just perfect!

They are just amazing! I spoke to Matthew via telephone and email for a grab handle as my dad is now disabled. He was really polite professional and friendly. My mum and wife travelled to have the part fitted and they said his wonderful the experience was albeit they travelled two hours. The staff are so friendly and kind. This company needs to get more recognition for the work they do and at such amazing prices. Would highly recommend them. Keep up the great work and thank you again.

Cannot Fault Them!!!

This is the first time that I have used Des Gosling Motability, but it will not be the last, I cannot recommend them enough! We first came across them at the show in Birmingham in 2023 and were very impressed with the knowledge, friendliness and advice they gave us that we decided to make the two and a half hour car journey (twice, to try then order then to collect) to purchase our new powerchair from them! They made sure that there was absolutely NO problems…A HUGE thank you to everyone involved…we even met the boss!

Under ring hand controls and scooter hoist

This is the second under ring I’ve had fitted and I cannot praise all at Des Gosling enough. They are professional and very helpful. On the second occasion they also fitted a scooter hoist. When I first thought about getting hand controls I looked at the videos on their web-site which were extremely informative and as a result I chose Des Gosling to fit same.

I have used Des Gosling on 3 occasions…

I have used Des Gosling on 3 occasions to fit hoists in my cars. Always been perfectly satisfied. I just had a swivel/lift seat fitted for my wife as a passenger. She found the first one a bit uncomfortable. Went back today and they changed it for a different seat that she is now very pleased with. Thank you for your cooperation.

A really great service

Every time I visit and have work done by Des Gosling I feel like they treat me as a valued customer. Great service, friendly, immense knowledge and awareness of disabilities, and value for money.

WHAT AN AMAZING COMPANY

WOW this company certainly go above and beyond. I have been dealing with a lovely lady over the phone named Tina. This lady should be justifiably proud of herself for her kind and friendly telephone manner. She has absolutely pulled out all the stops in helping me with my motability car adaptation needs, and has even sorted out for an engineer to visit my home to sort out the lifting eyes on my mobility scooter. Des Gosling Mobility have got themselves a real gem of an employee there. IMPRESSED

superb

Have dealt with Des and his products for a few years and have always been delighted with how he has enabled me to maintain a level of independence I thought I’d lose. First rate in every respect

I am ecstatic

I am ecstatic. I bought a WAV car and due to my medical issues was having difficulties managing the heavy ramp. No one could help me except for DES GOSLING who fit a motor which lowers and raises the ramp for me. This firm has given an elderly lady her independence back and I am extremely grateful. As I live miles away in Hartlepool I had to pay them to collect and return my vehicle but it has been money well spent to the only firm in the United Kingdom that could help me and the service I received was excellent. Thank you, thank you.

Five Star Service

Following the illness of my partner, who was now unable to lift my wheelchair into the car, this was our first foray into obtaining and fitting a hoist that would assist and enable me to retain mobility.
From initial contact to fitting, I have nothing but praise for the advice given to me by Hayley and despite being a long way from their premises, assured me this would not be an issue.
Pleased to report that all went to plan and my thanks also to Chris who, despite the weather, did an amazing job with fitting and demonstrating.
Thank you.

Excellent initial advice and professional installation of a hoist in a car boot.

I required a hoist to lift a powered wheelchair or a standard wheelchair into the car boot. From the first enquiry the service was helpful, polite and very professional. Scott travelled for two hours to fit the hoist, which he completed most efficiently and in good time. He adapted the fittings to suit the chairs and finally explained how to use the hoist with each of the chairs. He was at all times very friendly and willing to clarify, with good humour, any points that I didn't understand. I was most impressed with the thoroughness and understanding shown from first contact to the final installation. I would definitely recommend Des Gosling Mobility and Scott to friends.
