Very good experience in using this…

Very good experience in using this shop. My dad is very uncomfortable with walking and Kay really put his mind at ease and helped us work out the best solution without sales tactics. It’s a very person focused approach and very much appreciated. Would highly recommend. Kay is fantastic.

We visited the Hanley Store looking for a Mobility Scooter

We visited the Hanley Store looking for a Mobility Scooter, and Dawn was very very helpful and knowledgeable. I looked at a variety of Scooters, and Dawn really helped as she demonstrated the highs and the lows, for example taking one of the Scooters apart and showing my partner how heavy it weighed, as he has a bad back. We then looked at the folding Mobility Scooters and they were lighter but cost a lot more than I expected to pay, but I did just hope I do not regret it? Top marks to Dawn and staff who were all helpful and friendly. 🙏🙏

We understand that choosing the right scooter is a big decision, especially when weighing up practicality and cost, but please rest assured we’re always here if you need further advice or support.

I’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to Dawn and the rest of the team — they’ll be thrilled to know they made your visit a positive one.

Thank you again for choosing us, and we wish you many happy journeys with your new scooter!

Very disappointing custome service.

Ableworld Update Very disappointing customer service.
Yes! oh my god. I have FINALLY RECEIVED A FULL REFUND.
Am I grateful to Ableworld - Definitely NOT.
Did Ableworld give Great customer service. Definitely Not.
Was I treated with respect & understanding. DEFINITELY NOT.

It disappointing that you feel it's ok to state that we have to agree to disagree, how utterly callous that you feel it's ok to just wipes away the injuries my husband and I suffered, and the life threatening risk you felt it was ok to put my family and I put in.

The reason for my overwhelming dissatisfaction is their Senior Engineering & Logistics manager.

Ableworld should have refunded my money when I returned my faulty Jolly Boot scooter just 23 days after purchase. Not starting when the key is turn on, Stopping without warning when being used.
These really were major issues.
There Senior Engineer & Logistic’s Manager claimed User Error. to be honest, it was user error for everythin. He explained suddenly stopping as a Safety feature – that it’s gone into sleep mode because I the user have forgotten to turn it off !!

What absolute nonsense from a senior engineer & logistics' manager. Dpes anyone turn their scooter off when the are actually crossing the road.
I'm appalled and insulted by your customer service.

You made me feel totally useless and incompetent with your constant User Error.
To be continually put at serious risk, with both my husband and I being injured, dismissed as user error. How incomprehensible and downright callous.

To be threatened by passengers because this Jolly Boot Scooter DOES NOT have ample ground clearance which causes it to breach on some trains ramps.
As a family we really have been totally overwhelmed with number of incidents during the 17 weeks since purchase, yet this includes 10 days at Ableworld for a 2nd assessment by the same engineer.

As a family we are very relieved this saga is over and the Jolly Boot scooter has gone.
I’m sure Ableworld will say the manufactures didn’t find any faults but doesn't prove anything with the recordings I have.

I’m now looking for a New scooter.
Would I buy from Ableworld - Absolutely Not.
Lessons I’ve learnt the hard way in my darkest period.
Don’t be fobbed off with user error, make Ableworld or any company listen with your reviews.
Don’t read the good customer reviews, they are selling you stuff and want your money.
Read the 1-3 star about after sales service from people who’ve encounter problems.
I definitely encountered serious problems with this scooter that put me as risk of injury everytime that I used it.

Finally Don’t be fob you off with user error especially when it puts you at serious risk of injury!

We visited Ableworld today in Crewe

We visited Ableworld today in Crewe, after making a mistake ordering a power chair online, which is too heavy and not for us, will be returning it. I have only good things to say about the very personal and knowledgeable service we received today from Amy and Jonathon. We spent some time in the shop looking at scooters and power chairs, their expert knowledge helped us to make the decision, without any pressure, my husband had a test drive and Amy assistate me in trying sizes in our car boot. Very happy with our purchase Q50R Carbon, ready for its test drive next week on our holiday. Definitely would recommend, the personal touch and the chance to talk about the scooters and chairs is very much appreciated. Debra Jones

Wigan Ableworld

Went with my mum to look at buying a mobility scooter at the Wigan store on Caroline St.
My 85y/o mum finds walking becoming more difficult but would distraught if she could not go out and about anymore.
She was worried about buying a scooter because she was scared she would not be able use one. However, the sales assistant was wonderful, letting my mum have a test drive and going through everything we needed to know.
The service was exceptional and would highly recommend to anyone.

Excellent company to deal with

First used this company back in May when I visited the Ableworld shop in the Orthopaedic hospital near Oswestry as I needed some advice regarding suitable walking sticks for me as I had been recommended to use one by my hospital, I found their representative to be most friendly and helpful. So when I wanted a second walking stick to keep in my car I obviously went back to Ableworld, glad I did as their mail order process was easy to use. I recommend this company

Would be zero if allowed shocking and disgusting service booked a scooter to pick up Thursday to Tuesday over the bank holiday weekend got there no scooter told yes it’s booked but not here I had to ask where is it he said I don’t know I asked him to find out he rang somebody who said it’s out for a service I asked when it would be here he said might be 3 to 4 hours I informed him of our time critical journey to Silverstone for appointments booked for grandkids I asked him to ring again still no joy
The outcome was that a disabled lady was forced to walk all weekend due to no scooter this is disgusting service all the apologies cannot help with severe pain suffered

Hi Leslie,

Thank you for reaching out to us and submitting a Trustpilot review. We are sorry that you and your family feel disappointed with the level of service you received from Ableworld, and naturally, we are disappointed that you felt the need to leave a post of this nature.

We prioritise providing exceptional service and creating positive experiences for our customers; unfortunately, on this occasion we failed to reach this. The Mobility Scooter was booked with our Darlington Branch for your Wife to use from the dates you mention in your review. Due to a clerical error the Hire Scooter had been taken away for service and there was not an alternative that you could have. The Staff at our Darlington Branch do pride themselves on doing everything they can for a customer and they did endeavour to get the scooter back to store for you; however, we understand you were travelling that day and you were unable to wait. As the scooter was not available, no financial transaction took place.

We have tried to reach out to you and have offered some recompense to you; unfortunately this was turned down.

On behalf of the staff at Darlington and Head Office, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience we have caused you concerning this matter. As a company, we do strive to offer an excellent customer experience, and on this occasion,we let you and your family down.

All feedback from our customers is appreciated, good or otherwise, as we do strive to make our customers' experience a positive one and your feedback is enormously valuable to us, so we greatly appreciate you taking the time to submit your review.

Take care,
Ableworld
