Had problem after first time out

Had problem after first time out. The hydraulics on the bar faulted so handle wouldn’t stay up. Replaced scooter within days. Fantastic service, lovely man in shop, couldn’t have been more apologetic although it wasn’t his fault. Would recommend this outlet to everybody.

We were attended to by William and he dealt with us in a professional manner in showing us the mobility scooters that might suit my needs. He explained everything I needed to know and demonstrated the scooter that suited my needs. He demonstrated the extras that I might need, insurance, safety lock etc. and was helpful in a pleasant manner.

Excellent service

I went to buy a wheelchair for my husband, the lovely person that helped me clearly demonstrated models, even saying i could try it with her in it to see what it was like to push. The service in ableworld colchester is always amazing, very helpful without trying to push you to a more expensive item. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this shop

First Class Service

First-class service from start to finish.

I contacted the company for a price for a new stairlift. An engineer visited to carry out the site survey and provided a quote while at the house. He mentioned that, as we needed a straightforward standard installation, I should contact the office as they may have a refurbished unit available.

The price for a new stairlift was already many hundreds of pounds cheaper than another local company, so I was very impressed. I contacted the office and was told they had four refurbished units available, with different prices, giving us a choice to suit our budget.

We paid the deposit and the stairlift was installed just three working days later.

Outstanding customer service from the Portrack Stockton team

When we first went to Ableworld at Portrack Stockton we were greeted almost straight away. We had some idea about the features we were looking for and, having spoken to Gemma about Mum's requirements, she was so knowledgeable and reassuring that we came away feeling even more confident in the mobility scooter we needed.

We arranged for Mum to do a test run of a mobility scooter and Gemma and Dean came out to Mum's home address as well as allowing us to test the scooter on a nearby hill.

I cannot commend Gemma, Dean and all of the Ableworld team at Stockton highly enough. There was never any hard sell, all questions were answered confidently and they went out of their way to fully explain how the mobility scooter worked, the 6 months insurance provided and the warranty.

We did commit to buying it based on the outstanding customer service we have received throughout and, in addition, if telephone lines are busy instore, I was redirected to Head Office and so there was always somebody to speak to.

Many thanks :)

It's great to know you felt reassured and well-informed when choosing the right mobility scooter, and that the home demonstration and the test run helped build your confidence. We're especially pleased to hear there was no pressure and that everything was clearly explained, including insurance and warranty details.

Beige Stroller

The Stroller we bought was good in the shop on a flat surface, however we left the shop and walked around the village and as there is a slight camber on a lot of the pavements my mum almost fell 3 times, it is not stable enough for her to use on her own which is the whole point of getting one, I called the shop and spoke to the manager and unfortunately as it had been outside we are unable to return it's an expensive mistake on our part especially as it has only been used for 15 minutes I am now left with an item I will have to try and sell privately

Hi Melanie,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the stroller hasn’t proved as suitable for your mum as you had hoped.

The stroller was demonstrated and tried in store before purchase, and following the demonstration you were happy to proceed with the purchase. Unfortunately, as it has since been used outdoors, we’re unable to accept it back for a refund.

We appreciate this is disappointing and are sorry the stroller hasn’t worked out as hoped.

Kind regards,
Ableworld

Great Customer Service

I called Matt on Monday to ask about whether he had any prima grab rails in stock. He had one, I needed two and if possible by Wednesday. He managed to source one from another shop and got it delivered to the store by Wednesday. I’ve used the shop several times . Great customer service. Matt is a credit to the business and always understands your needs. I would definitely recommend this shop to friends when the needs arise for them to use their products.
