When do you need to SERVICE your Mobility Aid Equipment?
This has an obvious answer for such a versatile inquiry. The answer, most professionals, is annually you should service your mobility aid equipment. Wear and tear usually is the primary reason, servicing your mobility aid equipment is essential for functionality. No one wants to use a broken-down piece of equipment, especially when the equipment’s primary function is to benefit the individual’s health through mobility aid and quality of life. You can’t say no to repairing and servicing the device that helps you live your life.
Having a yearly diagnostic and servicing of your mobility aid equipment may prolong the functionality of your mobility aid equipment for many years not too different from an annual car servicing.
Okay, When do you REPAIR your Mobility Aid Equipment?
This is an obvious answer to a wrong question. The obvious answer is that you should repair when your mobility aid equipment is non-functioning like it used to. The wrong question is not “when” it’s “Who.” So the question you should be asking, is”Who should REPAIR your mobility aid equipment?” And the answer is obvious; it’s people who have whole knowledge and experience on repair said equipment, AKA Professionals.
You don’t hire a carpenter to fix your plumbing, or a mechanic to repair your mobility scooter. You ask the people who studied and have experience in the job you require them to do. Scooterland’s has professionals, with the primary duty of fixing mobility aid equipment. We can fix a plethora of mobility aid equipment, ranging from rehab chairs, to electric wheelchairs, to even electric beds. And as our name suggests, we repair and service mobility scooters.

They usually come to us, to get things settled and service.

Price is what you Pay… Value is what you Want
THE REALITY IS THIS…When you pay for a job, especially a technical job such as service work, repair work, the maintenance you pay not only for the direct labor and material used, but you are also paying for:
- Knowledge – Technical and Trade Education
- Experience – Technical know-How
- Tools – Workshop Tools – electrical and mechanical plus specific programming tools
- Workshop – Equipment both Plant & Machinery
- Services – Power / Water / Utilities
- Personnal Labour – Technician Labour / Supervisors Time
- Office Labour – Administration Time for Quotation / Invoiving / co-ordinating / Ordering
- Transport (pick-up & delivery) – Van costs / Insurance / Driver
- Company – Company Fees / Tax Submissions & Obligations
- Statuatory – Procedures / Labour Screening / Compliance Audits
- Professionalism – Professional/ Trade Memebrship / Companany Insurance
- Safety – Workplace Health and Safety Obligations
- Accountability – All the above
You should not haggle over a service that you don’t actually have the skills or knowledge to do yourself. You don’t get a high-quality gourmet meal for the same price as a Happy Meal from McDonald’s.
When skilled people actually KNOW their own worth, be smart, and trust that reputable company, and never forget…
That Value costs and you ALWAYS get what you pay for. You want a job well done expect to pay for what it’s worth…
Mobility Aid Equipment in Queensland
You can find only a few exclusive stores that sell mobility aid equipment, Scooterland is one of them; based at Ashmore on the Gold Coast which is in Queensland. As many have surmised, Gold Coast is a popular tourist destination in Queensland but also a good retirement area. A lot of seniors find the Gold Coast a prime location to spend their days, with a plethora of resorts and golfing courses to fit their niche. With a booming tourism industry, and a rather interconnected metro system right near the coast, Gold Coast is ideal for traveling and walking around.
Many seniors nowadays are immobile due to old age, injury, or underlying medical conditions thus decreasing their range of movements from a couple of hundreds of meters to bedridden for the remainder of their existence. Some of these ailments can limit the individual to an isolated and indoor existence, which no one wants. Mobility Aid Equipment might be a minor or major remedy to help the quality of life and independence of the individual that is infirmed by immobility. Studies Suggest, that having an active routine from moving around and daily exercise might tremendously increase the happiness of the individual. Asked a Medical Professional, about any mobility aid equipment you might consider using, and see if you are qualified for a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) which may lessen the cost of your purchase of mobility aid Equipment.
