Chair experience
I went to the Wigan store to look for a new riser recliner. Peter and Julie were brilliant, listened to what I needed and wanted and I was able to "test drive" chairs. I found the right chair for me and the purchasing process was simple and smooth. Just waiting for my new chair to be delivered. Thank you both.

Very good speedy helpful service.
My son and I arrived in Wigan about 3.30pm. I had a very swollen ankle and decided a hired wheelchair would help me for the 5 days I was staying in Wigan. By 4.50pm I was in Wigan store and was extremely very happy with a wheelchair that Peter & Julie sorted me out with.It was fantastic service and information. They treated us very kindly, it was helpful as I was in pain and upset. They were a life saver as I was able to get out and about easier during our short break at Wigan.Also it was a very reasonable price.Thank you..

Peter and Julie are amazing
Peter and Julie are amazing! Very friendly and polite.
I took my friend who needed a mobility walker on Thursday.
Peter helped him choose the right one and was so knowledgeable about the product.
He made us feel at ease and at home with his, gentle friendly manner.
My friend enjoyed his time so much in the shop that he didn’t want to leave.
Sometimes my friend doesn’t get to see many people and it was lovely that Peter had the time to engage in conversation and devote at all his attention to him thank you so much.

From my first visit to the showroom I was filled with confidence that I had made the right choice. I was treated with compassion and kindness. All my questions were addressed professionally, I was guided through a range of stairlifts and rise and recline chairs which was the purpose of my visit.
There was no hard sell and I left feeling confident that I had the information to move forward.
The chair demo was prompt and very efficient. The store manager and delivery assistant went above and beyond to install and demonstrate the product.
I am very grateful for the service provided and would not hesitate to recommend the store to others.

Excellent friendly service.
I visited the Ableworld store in Wigan this morning after phoning up to enquire about a no rinse shower cap for my sister who had had a hip replacement. The guy who answered the phone, Peter, was really friendly and helpful. He greeted me in store and was really knowledgable about all the products available, and more importantly he gave advice on what my sister might need without being pushy. Great service!

Great customer service
Peter was a great help when we were looking for a wheelchair for my Mum. He asked what was important to us, he talked us through our options, and he gave us chance to try out different models, including in the boot for size. He was very professional, personable and knowledgeable. This is our second time purchasing from the Wigan store (stair lift last time) and we'll be back in future.

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.
