Mobility scooter service
Mobility scooter service.
I cannot praise this company enough. Lovely, friendly staff. Excellent service on my scooter. I was kept very well informed of what they found and would be doing with my concent. I was also more than happy with the cost, it was a lot lower that I expected. 5 star all the way. Thank you.

The staff at Ableworld Colchester are…knowledgeable and kind
The staff at Ableworld Colchester are fantastic! I needed my scooter looked at as no longer charging, along with other problems. It was picked up and replaced with a boot scooter for my to use while my big one was being serviced. The lady on the phone was very knowledgeable and very helpful. I went to the shop and Craig took me through all the possible scenarios, he was very patient and friendly. I did buy a new scooter but never felt under any pressure to do so. He was very very kind and helpful. The guys who delivered were also very kind and helpful. All round a fantastic shop and staff. Thank you!

Brilliant support through the years
Brilliant support through the years
I got my first power wheelchair from Ableworld a few years ago and I'm very grateful I did. They helped me find the one that was right for me and have always been very quick to support whenever something goes wrong. Friendly and supportive and they make sure that my wheels are working, letting me lead the rest of my life as I choose.
Thanks to all at Ableworld and especial shout-out to John for tireless troubleshooting of whatever the latest thing is I've done to my chair.

Excellent Service
Originally went to buy a scooter but came away with a walker. Was so impressed with the service we received from Willliam that we went back a few days later and bought the scooter also. As I am left handed the controlls had to be reversed. This was no problem as Adam was on hand and did this very quickly. Both men were extremely polite and friendly. Felt that I had purchased what I really needed and not what I thought I needed. Couldn't be happier.

Purchased a boot scooter from Ableworld Colchester
Purchased a boot scooter from Ableworld Colchester. Great service from Adam, who spent time listening to and understanding our requirements, before suggesting some scooters to test drive. No attempt to “upsell” - in fact we ended up being guided to purchase one of the cheaper models in the shop. Taught us all we needed to know about how to drive it, take it to pieces and reassemble it. Good to hear that the staff don’t work on commission, so genuinely want to help you choose the model best suited to your needs

Caring and kind
We went to purchase a new walker with a seat for my Mum and they advised us very well and we purchased the product after being allowed to test in in her car boot (carefully).
Unfortunately Mum has struggled with it for reasons not relating to their sales and she reluctantly returned the walker and swapped for a different one. Mum felt really bad about it but they could not have been more kind and helpful and took back the unsuitable one and gave her a different one and refunded the difference with no fuss and genuine kindness and caring, which is rare these days. Ted especially was wonderfully helpful. Go visit Ted!

An excellent service
Visited Ableworld in Colchester to have a look at mobility scooters. The female salesperson was excellent, she was very knowledgeable and knew about the products. The best thing was she was not pushy (sorry I can’t remember her name), I was able to try a couple of different scooters to see which was the best for me. I now have a scooter which is excellent, it has increased my independence and I am gaining confidence the more I use it. Would highly recommend Ableworld, thank you.

Just purchased a Drive Explorer Sport mobility scooter from Ableworld and was very pleased with the service. Everything was explained clearly, with demonstrations as to getting it started and also breaking it down to go into my car boot. I even had a test drive! There was no pressure to buy just helpful advice when needed. Happy to recommend the staff at the Colchester store.

Thank you so much to all the guys at Ableworld
Adam and Gary and all the guys I’ve spoken to at Ableworld are fantastic. Honest, sincere, can’t do enough to help. Their prices are very reasonable and it is so heartwarming to deal with a company like this.
Their time keeping and communication is impeccable.
They moved a complicated hospital bed for us. Thank you so much you did an amazing job.
I would highly recommend this company and they will be my first port of call if I need to purchase any further equipment.

Excellent service!
Recently, I had a problem with my walker that I bought from them in June 2022, and I rang the store and a very polite young man spoke to me and said they would send someone that afternoon - he arrived at 4pm and repaired it in my flat very quickly. Excellent service!
