Mobility Scooter Repairs
If you are experiencing problems with your scooter, or it has broken down, we can diagnose, fix and repair issues and get you back on the road in no time. We charge £60 per hour for workshop fault finding. Sometimes faults are obvious and need very little assessment time but other times we have to work through a process which can be time-consuming. We will always advise you based on your initial description of the fault. All mobility scooter repairs are guaranteed for 30 days.
Mobility Scooter Servicing
The frequency of servicing for your mobility scooter depends on use, however, generally annual servicing is recommended. For heavy use, we may recommend an interim service after 6 months.
The cost of a routine service for a mobility scooter varies from £65 for most small transportable scooters, to £145 for larger scooters. Please contact us with the make and model of your scooter and we will be able to advise on costs.
Mobility Scooter Service Checklist
A mobility scooter service includes a wide range of checks and diagnostics to ensure your scooter is safe and continues to run smoothly. Checks performed at a mobility scooter service are extensive and include checks to the battery, motor, tyres and brakes as well as an assessment of the bodywork, seat and backrest.

As part of a mobility scooter service, we will fully test the battery and make sure it is working and in optimum condition.
The lifespan of your battery depends on several factors, although it is important to charge your battery regularly, for 14-16 hours, or overnight. If you’ve noticed your scooter isn’t performing as well as it should, or suspect your battery needs to be replaced, please get in touch.
