Mobility Scooter Services - Engineer Test and Repair at Home

Keep Your Mobility Scooter Winter Safe

While colder and damper weather can put you off the idea of leaving the house, British weather is rarely bad enough to force you to stay home.

Our mobility scooters perform well in light rain and showers (if heavy rain is forecast it is advisable to stay home) but like a car, it is important to ensure that your scooter is safe for your winter trips.

While there is no legal requirement to service your mobility scooter, we provide an annual peace of mind service for mobility scooters. An annual service is a great way to keep your scooter running efficiently and safely.

Why You Need To Service Your Mobility Scooter

As with any mechanical device, faults can occur. Much like an MOT for a car, the service will look at the motor, brakes, battery, steering, tyres and wheels, lights and other electrics, to ensure everything is in proper working order to keep you safe when out and about.

If you take your scooter on the road it is especially important to be sure that it is mechanically safe - as the ground becomes wetter and slippier, it is vital to ensure that your tyres and brakes are in good working order. 

How To Get Your Mobility Scooter Serviced?

Our Peace of Mind Annual Service costs £129 and one of our service engineers will come to your home to carry out the checks and service your mobility scooter.

The cost covers inspection and labour, and if new parts are required these will be extra - it's no different from getting your car serviced. If any work is required the parts can be ordered and the engineer will return to carry out the repair.

The Peace of Mind Annual Service includes:

• Annual service battery capacity test
• Column set correctly and console checked
• Tyres and rims checked and correctly inflated
• Brakes checked
• Seat assessment
• Fully cleaned and valeted
• Electrics and leads checked for wear
• All lubrication points lubricated and brakes, motors and brushes checked

Remember to Care For Your Batteries

As well as a winter service, it is important to look after your batteries. Keep them dry, do not store them outside in damp or cold conditions, and ensure they are charged fully after every use, and also charged overnight once a week when not in use.

Extreme cold can cause batteries to deplete quicker, so try not to store your battery or scooter in a shed or outbuilding where temperatures can drop to freezing. Read Getting the Most from your CareCo Mobility Scooter Battery.

Keep Your Scooter Dry

One of the biggest problems in the UK is rain - mobility scooters and rain really do not mix. While light showers are OK, torrential downpours and heavy rain can cause electrical failure.

Bad weather can impact some materials over time - steel can rust and aluminium can corrode, especially when water is mixed with salt and grit from pavements and roads.

So keeping your scooter both clean and dry is vital. We sell a range of Rain Protection Accessories for You and Your Mobility Scooter to help with this. 

It's important to keep your mobility scooter dry at all times, and if you need to store it outside then a mobility store is an essential piece of kit.  

Look after your scooter, and your scooter will look after you.
