What We Repair

Power Scooters

Battery not holding a charge. Won't turn on. Driving in circles. Making a grinding noise. Flat tire. These are the most common scooter problems we see — and most of them are straightforward repairs that do not require sending the unit back to the manufacturer. We carry common replacement batteries, chargers, tires, and control components for the major scooter brands.

  • Battery replacement — most common repair, usually same-day if battery is in stock
  • Charger faults and charging port issues
  • Motor and transaxle problems
  • Control board and joystick replacement
  • Tire and wheel replacement
  • Tiller and throttle repairs

Power Wheelchairs & Electric Wheelchairs

Power wheelchair repairs require more technical knowledge than most mobility repairs — drive motors, joystick controllers, programming, and seating electronics all interact. Our technicians are trained on the major power wheelchair platforms and carry diagnostic equipment to identify the source of the problem before ordering parts.

  • Drive motor failure — left side, right side, or both
  • Controller and joystick replacement and calibration
  • Battery pack replacement
  • Seating actuator and tilt/recline mechanism service
  • Footrest, armrest, and hardware repairs
  • Programming and speed adjustments

Lift Chairs

A lift chair that won't recline or won't return to upright position is one of the most urgent repair calls we receive — for many users it is their primary chair and sleeping position. Lift chair motor and actuator failures are the most common issue and in most cases can be resolved in one visit.

  • Actuator and motor replacement — the most common lift chair repair
  • Hand control and wiring replacement
  • Heat and massage component service
  • Frame and mechanism adjustments
  • Fabric and cushion repairs (select repairs)

Manual Wheelchairs

  • Tire and tube replacement — flat tires are extremely common in FL heat
  • Brake adjustment and cable replacement
  • Footrest, armrest, and anti-tip replacement
  • Wheel bearing service
  • Frame repairs and adjustments

Rollators & Walkers

  • Brake cable replacement and adjustment
  • Wheel and tire replacement
  • Handle grip replacement
  • Seat and backrest repairs
  • Folding mechanism service

Patient Lifts

  • Battery and charger replacement
  • Actuator service and replacement
  • Hand pendant and control repairs
  • Base, caster, and leg mechanism service
  • Sling bar replacement

Hospital Beds

  • Motor and actuator replacement — head and foot elevation mechanisms
  • Remote control and hand pendant replacement
  • Side rail repairs
  • Frame and caster service

We Come to You — Home Service Calls Across SW Florida

A 300 lb power wheelchair or a hospital bed cannot be loaded into a car and brought to a shop. We know that. Our technicians make house calls across Venice, Sarasota, Port Charlotte, Fort Myers, Naples, and surrounding communities for repairs that cannot realistically be brought in.

Call 866-218-0902, describe the problem, and we will tell you whether a home visit makes sense or whether bringing it in is the faster option. Either way — we handle it.


We Repair Any Brand — Even If You Bought It Elsewhere

We repair Pride Mobility, Golden Technologies, Invacare, Drive Medical, Sunrise Medical, Permobil, Quantum, Jazzy, Merits, EWheels, Shoprider, and most other major mobility brands. Bought it at another store, ordered it online, brought it down from up north — does not matter. If we can fix it we will tell you. If it is beyond repair we will tell you that too, honestly, and show you what a replacement would cost.


Harmar Vehicle Lift & Home Lift Installation and Service

We are an authorized Harmar dealer — and Harmar is based right here in Sarasota. If you have a Harmar vehicle lift, stairlift, or vertical platform lift that needs service or repair, we are your local service team. We also install new Harmar systems across Southwest Florida.

  • Harmar vehicle lift service — hitch-mounted scooter and wheelchair lifts
  • Harmar stairlift service — straight and curved models
  • Harmar vertical platform lift service — deck, porch, and garage lifts
  • New Harmar installations — vehicle lifts, stairlifts, platform lifts, residential elevators

Call 866-218-0902 to schedule a service call or installation assessment.


Before Hurricane Season — Get Your Equipment Serviced

SW Florida hurricane season runs June through November. A power scooter with a weak battery, a lift chair with a sluggish actuator, or a power wheelchair with a joystick that sticks — these are problems you want fixed before a storm, not during one. Our technicians can assess your equipment and handle preventive service before the season starts.

Call your nearest location in April or May — before everyone else has the same idea in August.


Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a repair started?

Call your nearest location directly (numbers above) or 866-218-0902. Describe the equipment — brand, model if you have it — and what it is doing (or not doing). We will tell you whether to bring it in or whether a home visit is the right call.

How long do repairs take?

Simple repairs — battery replacement, tire swap, hand control replacement — are often same-day if parts are in stock. More complex repairs requiring ordered parts typically take 3–7 business days. We will give you a realistic timeframe when we assess the problem.

Do you provide a loaner while my equipment is being repaired?

In some cases yes — call your nearest location to ask about loaner availability. We also offer short-term rentals on wheelchairs and select other equipment if you need something to use while yours is being serviced.

Do you give an estimate before starting the repair?

Yes — we assess the problem and give you an estimate before any repair work begins. No surprises.

What brands do you service?

Pride Mobility, Golden Technologies, Invacare, Drive Medical, Sunrise Medical, Permobil, Quantum, Jazzy, Merits, EWheels, Shoprider, Harmar, and most other major brands. If you are not sure, call and ask — we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
