Hi Ann, thanks so much for your 5‑star review. We're glad we could help quickly and appreciate your kind words.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Good, but pricey spares.

The engineer was on time, polite and efficient.
I would have given 5 stars if we hadn't have to pay such a high price of £63 for 2 batteries which can be bought on the Internet for approx £25 (for 2 x Lucas brand).

They go the extra mile!

The company engineer was punctual, polite and simply got on with the annual inspection.

No problems there but he kindly drew my attention to a 'soft' stair and even offered to line up a carpenter for me as I am nearly 78 and in poor health. Brilliant!

The service was welcoming and tailored

The service was welcoming and tailored, with no pressure to buy, making for a positive experience. The showroom's arrangement allows potential customers to try the equipment confidently. Having worked with Dolphin Lifts for both myself and my parents, I can highly recommend them. The variety of other mobility products on display also left a strong impression on me.

Great professionalism from office…

Great professionalism from office communication to first visit to installation by all concerned. Installed early August with friendliness and efficiency, we needed an alteration in October which was done with equal good will and skill. No pressure with initial admin and guarantee info, and the two engineers on the separate occasions of installation were excellent. Everything working well, thus writing review now. Thank you.

Friendly

Friendly, informative, personalised service, no sales pressure. I felt the set up in the showroom gave future customers the ability to use the equipment with confidence.
I Have dealt with Dolphin lifts now for myself and previously for my parents would thoroughly recommend. I was also impressed by the other mobility items on show.
