Car modification for Wheelchairs
Car modification for Wheelchairs Friend is tired of wrecking her back and wants to load her mom's electric wheelchair into her car in a less brute force sort of way. Does anyone have a business to recommend to give some options? They would prefer to not have to purchase a new vehicle. They live on the West side of Houston but the greater area is workable.

Annie : I used to work near 249/Beltway. There was a place called ADA that I drove by every day. Looks like they've changed their name to United Access. No personal experience with them, but it's near you.

Reivax : That is where DH gets his vehicle worked on when there are issues I believe.

mutton : I always thought it looked clean, well maintained. That's always a good sign for a business. Had a lot of time to look at it what with the snail's pace of beltway in the morning at that bend!

Reivax : Mutton: Annie: ADA, now United Access, is where we had extensive experience for my late BIL. They first installed a lift in a large SUV. A few years later they adapted a truck where they installed a power lifted camper top on the truck bed, a lift for the chair that lifted the chair out of the truck bed and transferred the chair to the driver's door, plus adapted the driver's seat to lift the driver out of the truck. It was amazing and gave him independence. It was not ceap but worth every penny.
Kittle : Yes! They modified existing van in 2003 and then one we were buying in 2020. I recognized the 249 place when reivax mentioned seeing it. « Back to Chat
