Don't just take our word for it, see what some of our customers have to say about our products, our service and how our caring and professional approach has helped to transform their lives.
Autochair have helped many people throughout the company's 39 year history to regain their independence and we thought you might like to read some of their stories...
“At the moment, when I go shopping, I can only really go to one shop as that is all I can manage. Now that I will be able to take my scooter into my car, I can just park up and visit all the other shops and go to the cricket!”
Mrs Sanderson
“Without my hoist, I wouldn’t be able to go anywhere alone as I would need assistance to get my chair in and out of the car. It truly is a lifeline and I’d certainly recommend either of the hoists I’ve used to my family and friends!”
Mandy Altoft (Be Able Travel) Hove
The lift is allowing me to live again and it may sound over the top to some, but I now have my life back.
Alyson Bevan Swansea
As well as being able to enjoy the fresh air with my husband of 56 years, I have maintained my independence which is great. My Autochair experience has been easy, professional and simply made life much more enjoyable!
Patsy Taylor
Now I can easily take my scooter and dog in the car to beautiful woodlands and parks and enjoy walking my dog in the countryside without any problems.
Mrs Carnochan
I can see the world opening up to me again and for someone who spent so much time enjoying the outdoors, mobility, flexibility and independence are the greatest gifts I could ask for.
Mrs McCarter
Not only can my husband join me again on our shopping trips but his overall quality of life has improved too.
Mr & Mrs Hollamby Lincolnshire
My lungs are now breathing a sigh of relief rather than gasping for air. My only regret is that I did not get a hoist sooner.
Mr Carver Kent
I have so much more independence now and to not have to worry about struggling to get the wheelchair in and out of the car is a massive relief – now I can do it with the touch of a button.
Mr Leonard Bicester
We’re both in really good health and the last thing we wanted was to lose the freedom of choosing where we go and when we go. We saw an advert for Autochair and within two days of having the demonstration, the hoist was fitted. It works like a dream and has made so much difference to our getting about.
Victor Gregg Hampshire
It’s really easy to use and has made a lot of difference to us both. Better still, it’s taken all Mary’s worries away about me lifting and dismantling her scooter – we’re happier all round!
Mr & Mrs Bowering Chesterfield
We go out at some point of every day and my husband doesn’t have to do any assembly, dis-assembly or lifting. I can even go out on my own because the Smart Lifter is so easy for one person to use.
Mr & Mrs Gregory Sittingbourne
The hoist is wonderful. It is so easy to operate and it means that I can go out by myself without having to rely on Keith or, as at other times, my daughter to come and help me, which was always really frustrating
Kath Evans Stoke
The wife of a Cumbrian man with Parkinson’s disease has paid tribute to Autochair after we fitted a Smart Transfer into his car in time to enable him to accompany his family to his son’s wedding.
Edward Bainbridge Cumbria
As a former delivery driver, taxi driver and a driver for the War Office, it’s fair to say that Autochair customer Pat Turner knows what she is looking for when choosing a car.
Pat Turner Sevenoaks
The fitters who installed the hoist were very friendly and did an excellent very neat job as well as giving advice on operating it.
K Walsh Cheshire
The design of the car means that it is not easy to get in and out of, but I would imagine that if Autochair can fit a Smart Transfer into a Porsche Boxster Spyder, then they must be able to fit one in anything.
John Boggiano
It was very simple to use and took no time to master. Simon is an engineer and he thinks it’s marvellous, simply because it works so well without being complicated.
Marilyn Westwood-Bate Gobowen, Shropshire
The technician who fitted it, Glynn, was an extremely capable engineer and even though he had to fabricate a part for the scooter itself he had the hoist installed and working very soon. I am very impressed with the quality and design of the hoist and the car was left immaculate when he finished.
Peter Ralston
Thank you for your quick and friendly service. We are both grateful for a bit more help to enable us to continue leading as full a life as possible.
Mr & Mrs Wilson Appleby-in-Westmorland
The guys who fitted the hoist were absolutely fantastic. I could not have wished for better or friendlier guys.
Ms O'Malley Penicuik
Very good prompt service, extremely polite and very helpful. I would recommend to other people.
Ms Penny Llandrindod Wells
