Elaine P.

I had a fantastic experience purchasing my car. The team was incredibly helpful, taking the time to listen to what I wanted and assisting me in choosing the most suitable vehicle. There was no pressure or 'hard sale' tactics, which I really appreciated. Both Lauretta and Bill were a pleasure to work with—friendly, professional, and genuinely focused on making the process as easy as possible. I highly recommend SMV if you need a WAV as they are very knowledge on the needs of the needy!

After weeks of searching for the correct WAV we found Lauretta extremely patient and helpful. Bill drove the car we liked quite a way to try our daughter with her electric wheelchair in it.

Professional and very helpful

Alan T.

Going through the painful process of moving from my faithful old estate that gave a decade plus of unstinting reliability, to (out of necessity) a WAV, Patrick showed the 'Patience of Job' in addressing all of my concerns fully and pleasantly.Sincerest thanks !

Response from the owner: Thank you Alan for your kind words. It’s not an easy task needing to buy something you don’t really want and WAVs are far more complex than most people realise. It’s been a pleasure to deal with and you have made it much easier for us to help you find a WAV that will work for you. Thank you once again for your review and we look forward to meeting you very soon to hand over your new vehicle. Kind regards from Patrick and all the team at SMV.

Christine H.

Patrick and his team have been so helpful and considerate to our needs when we changed our vehicle and bought a slightly smaller one . I would be more than happy to recommend their services to clients they may come into contact with when they need to replace their disability vehicles .

Response from the owner: Thank you Christine, we really do appreciate your kind words. All of us here at Southern Mobility Vehicles wish you both the very best for the future.

Jackie M.

Cannot recommend this company highly enough. EVERY member is really friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and very caring. A rare find indeed these days. Wouldn't consider going anywhere else after experiencing such a helpful and caring service at a very stressful time. Strongly recommend anyone to try SMV and see the difference!Also important to know that their after sales service is also second to none. In our opinion, they really are the best in the business.

Response from the owner: Hi Jackie, thank you so much for your kind words, you were both an absolute pleasure to deal with and thank you so much for the chocolates and card, they have now officially been tucked into!! All the very best to you both and enjoy your new found freedom!! Bill, Jim and Patrick.

Martine W.

Visited today, 5 star customer service. Patrick spent time assisting us and patiently listened to our requirements. Would highly recommend this company. Patrick was very knowledgeable and could not have been more helpful.

Response from the owner: Hi Martine, many thanks for your kind words. it was lovely to meet you both and our pleasure to help guide you towards the right wheelchair accessible vehicle for your needs. Nearer the time, please feel free to get in touch and we'll pick up where we left off. As you realised, it's a complex decision which almost everyone needs help with which is why we advise on the whole market place from private purchase to Motability. Kind regards Patrick.

Maria T.

I contacted Southern Mobility via email regarding a vehicle I had seen on their website. It was a van only recently added so I asked for some photos. Patrick emailed me back very promptly, provided me with lots of information and offered a Whatsapp walk round of the vehicle. He also sent me lots of photos of the vehicle. We wanted to view the vehicle and try out the client's wheelchair to ensure it fitted. Patrick arranged for a colleague of his, Jim to bring the van to us to try it out. Again, very accommodation and was able to give us a full demonstration as to how everything worked. We decided that the vehicle was perfect for our client. The accounts department then took over proceedings and again, was dealt with promptly and efficiently updating us every step of the way. The process took less than two weeks in total, including part ex. The van was delivered to the clients' house where the support team were given a further demonstration. Thank you, Patrick and Jim, for all your hard work, and to those behind the scenes. Highly recommended, fast, efficient great communication and a great selection of vehicles to meet all needs. Will definitely be back in the future, and will be recommending to others.

Response from the owner: Hi Katie, it was a pleasure to work with you and your team and we are so pleased the WAV you proceeded with worked so well for your client's needs. Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time to write your review, we are most grateful and wish you all the very best of luck and many happy motoring miles. Kind regards Patrick, Jim, Bill and Peter.

Southern Mobilities were incredibly helpful in providing a suitable vehicle for my family. Overall it was an incredibly pleasant experience and should we need another vehicle in the future I would not hesitate to return to this company.

There was no pressure on us, we were gently helped to decide which vehicle was for us. The support since our purchase has been amazing.

Response from the owner: Hi Val, thank you so much for your kind words, we are here to help and support as you know. Enjoy your freedom on four wheels 🙂

Response from the owner: Thank you Antony, all the very best to you and your family. Kind regards Patrick

Bethany W.

From the first contact to the delivering of the vehicle, to helping get the vehicle taxed - the guys at SMV have been incredible throughout the whole process. Patrick, Jim and colleagues have gone above and beyond to help my client buy the right vehicle for them. They brought the vehicle for us to view and had everything in order to allow us to purchase on the same day. I cannot recommend this company more highly. Honest, reliable, trustworthy and professional. Thank you for making this process so easy and simple!

Response from the owner: Hi Beth, thank you so very much for your kind words, you were a pleasure to deal with and we are so glad the process went smoothly. We wish you and your client all the very best for the future. Kind regards, Patrick

Andrew M.

Patrick “Given that I have had time to reflect on the delivery and handover of my vehicle today I would state the following : -The car was delivered many months later than you and I planned, for reasons we are both fully aware of ( The dreaded Covid 19 virus and its various impacts), however meeting you for the first time cemented my building blocks of confidence in you and your company. This is most unusual for me, in fact it has never happened before today.The fact that today was indeed the first time I had seen the vehicle, and I was delighted with the product even with handover problems regarding the wheelchair entry and lockdown mechanism (new to us both and someone has to be the first).The beautiful gifts were most unexpected and very much appreciated—thank you all at SMV.I don’t know how many of your clients make their initial purchase and spec out a car at a value of circa £45K to £50K without meeting the sales people and actually seeing the car at least once prior to placing the order? What I do know is that if I were to have a need to buy any other vehicle you would be the first people I would call. my best regards to you all at SMV - A & V M – Lanark”

Response from the owner: Hi Andy, we are so pleased you love your new Custom X WAV and thank you so much for your kind words, seeing what you wrote about us makes everthing we strive for worthwhile. You were very patient during very testing times and we thank you unreservedly for that and your business, you were a pleasure to deal with. All of us here at SMV wish you and your family all the very best for the future and many happy motoring miles. Kind regards Patrick.

chris R.

Another example of Patrick's excellent after sales service! Thanks, Jan

Response from the owner: Thank you Jan, it's always a team effort here, we all love what we do! Happy motoring! Kind regards, Patrick, Peter, Jim & Bill

Kevin D.

If you need a comfortable wav / vehicle, or considering a Ford Tourneo chassis look no further than these gents. Great to deal with, I put their pricing through its paces being a huge researcher. They give you an incredible deal on converting these Tourneos (keeping comfort and enjoyment in mind). I am a driver and for enjoyment I recommend the Tourneo if budget allows.

Response from the owner: Hi Kevin, thank you so very much for your kind words, it was a pleasure to help design your new Custom X and you will not be disappointed! Kind regards, Patrick & all the SMV team

Zeta T.

We went here today to look for a WAV with little knowledge of them. We were greeted outside on arrival, offered a drink and made to feel so welcome immediately. When my partner explained what we were looking for, they found us a perfect fit, without trying to up sell like so many motor companies tend to do. Staff were completely knowledgeable, approachable and friendly and made the whole experience relaxed and simple. Well worth the two hours travel time to get there and would not hesitate to use them again. Exceptional service from exceptional gentlemen!

Response from the owner: Hi Zeta, thank you so much for your kind words, you were a pleasure to work with and you've made us all smile here too! Work has to be fun! Kind regards Patrick & the SMV team.

Alan S.

Warm friendly staff nothing was to much trouble

Response from the owner: Thank you Alan, we all here st SMV wish you the very best for the future

Mick S.

Very happy with my purchase of a mobility vehicle. The service I receive was excellent. Very happy with the whole package. Would recommend this company.

Response from the owner: Hi Mick, thank you so much for your kind words, we wish you all the very best for the future, kind regards from the team at SMV ltd

Patrick M.

Helpfull honest advice, no high pressure salesmen.

Response from the owner: Thank you Patrick, your review is very much appreciated. All the very best to you and your family from us all here at SMV Ltd.

helenleech2000

I bought a WAV from Southern Mobility two months ago and really appreciate how easy it was; it was also a really good price. They took my car in part exchange which was a load off my mind and delivered the van to my house, explaining all the functionality. I’ve been driving it for two months and love it - it’s been well looked after, drives well, and has all the functionality I need. I use it to cart my elderly mother‘s mobility scooter around, and I’m converting it into a weekend campervan. I will return to Southern Mobility for my next van.

Response from the owner: Hi Helen, thank you so much for your kind words, they mean a great deal to all of us here at SMV, we really do wish you all the very best and many years of happy motoring. Thank you once again from the SMV team x

Ivan M.

Response from the owner: Thank you Ivan, it was a pleasure to meet you all and we all wish you a bright and prosperous future.

Red R.

From initial call to collecting the vehicle 2 days later, the service was flawless. Very pleasant and efficient. Fair and professional. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Response from the owner: Thank you very much Mike, all the very best for the future, it's been a pleasure, regards Patrick

Bernadette B.

The gentlemen at Southern Mobility helped me with a problem I had with my WAV. (I had bought my WAV from another company.) They were friendly, helpful and efficient. I would highly recommend them. Thank you.

Response from the owner: Thank you Bernadette, we are very pleased we could help you resolve the issue you had with your vehicle and we wish you all the very best for the future.

Tracey T.

Fantastic experience. So helpful and friendly. They listened to what I needed and although I changed my mind on what that was, they were still so helpful. They delivered the car to me, it was such a smooth process to get my independence back. I bought a drive from WAV.

Response from the owner: Hello Tracey, thank you so much for your kind words, it was a delight meeting with you and we are thrilled you are enjoying your new WAV. We all here at SMV wish you and your family all the very best for the future.

Deborah J.

Absolutely fabulous service. Very pleased with our wheelchair access vehicle. Lovely gentleman delivered it for us all the way up North. The car is in great condition, and Patrick was so helpful in finding and getting the second key to us. Brilliant, thank you

Response from the owner: Thank you Deborah, we really appreciate your kind words and we wish you all the very best for the future.

Les B.

I live in Guernsey and i needed to move from a standard car to a mobility vehicle to transport my Mobility Scooter and family, I spent hours searching for a company that could supply me with the right vehicle at the right spec and the right price. I searched the internet and spoke with many people and my search led me to contact Patrick at Southern Mobility Vehicles. Did they have the right vehicle for me at the right price and specification? Well, they did and the service i received was second to none. From arranging for me to see the vehicle in the UK, picking me up from Southampton Airport, the test drive and assisting in the export the vehicle to Guernsey it was a clear and painless process. Patrick kept me informed at all stages and ensured that communication between us was timely and accurate. Would I personally recommend them? Absolutely. keep up the good work guys.

Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words Les, it was a pleasure to serve you and we really enjoyed your company too on the day you came to collect your vehicle. All the best from us all here at SMV.

Richard C.

Pleasent experience with everything explained and detailed. Car was exactly as described and more importantly Patrick and the team kept me informed throughout the whole process.

Karen S.

It is a daunting process obtaining a wheelchair adapted vehicle for the first time, but I am pleased to say that Rhea and Patrick were great in helping me pick a vehicle suitable to my needs...particularly in terms of weight of ramps. Rhea was very patient with me whilst I looked at various vehicles. Advice was also given on insurance matters and they were very honest about how I would get more for my existing vehicle rather than part exchanging it. Many thanks to them both

Response from the owner: On behalf of myself and Patrick here at Southern Mobility Vehicles thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to meet and serve you both and we look forward to delivering your WAV very soon.

J M.

We travelled from Belfast to see a vehicle which had a been adapted for a wheelchair. We couldn’t find anything like this vehicle back home and we saw one here which seemed just right. We weren’t sure to travel to England from Belfast in case the vehicle was not in good condition and it would be a waste of a journey. How wrong were we. We were treated like royalty. They very kindly collected us from the Airport at London Gatwick and brought us to the business. The vehicle we were interested in was all ready for us to see. It was absolutely spotless, not a mark, just what we were looking for. Peter and Patrick were extremely helpful and helped us find somewhere to stay nearby, and also booked the Boat home for the next day. We drove to Holyhead and then got the Stenaline to Dublin. A long journey of 360 miles of driving in one day until home in Northern Ireland, but definitely well worth the journey. We absolutely love the adapted wheelchair accessible vehicle and can’t recommend this company enough. They are absolutely excellent.

Response from the owner: Hi, it was an absolute pleasure to help you and we are very happy you have found exactly what you needed from us. We wish you all the very best for the future and thank you very much for your kind words.

Kasandra M.

We just wanted to say thank you once again for assisting us to make aninformed decision and selecting the right car to meet our son's needs. Thisis the second vehicle we have purchased from Southern Mobility Vehicles andwe will continue to buy from them because the services they offered to usare exceptional by any standards. We have dealt with many car dealers butwe find you to be very genuine and caring. You listen to our needs but yourhonesty is what sets you apart.

Response from the owner: Thank you Kasandra, it was a pleasure to meet you both and we thank you very much for your business.

john M.

Response from the owner: Thank you John, we very much appreciate your five star rating. Please accept our best wishes for the future.

Amanda B.

It was easy and pleasurable to do business with everyone at Southern Mobility. Everyone was polite and courteous. The vehicle itself was in excellent condition, and although previously adapted for someone else's needs, with a few alterations the vehicle was ideal for my particular needs. The trading in with my own vehicle and delivery of the new one was smoothly dealt with and hassle free. I would have no problems doing business with Southern Mobility Vehicles again in the future when my new vehicle requires replacing. I this summary of my experience will help others contemplate doing business with Southern Mobility Vehicles.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much John and Amanda, you were a pleasure to deal with and good luck in all you do.

Graham M.

Excellent help from Patrick to identify the specification of a WAV that would suit my daughter’s needs. This looked as if it would be particularly hard to source, as vehicles with a dropped floor and a specific driving position, together with some other ramp requirements, are scarce. We were therefore delighted that Peter took ownership and found a Caravelle that almost completely matched the desired specification. Both Patrick and Peter clearly demonstrated a focus on the needs of the customer rather than just “shifting stock” and we were very pleased with the helpful service.

Response from the owner: Thank you very much Graham, we really do appreciate your comments and once again, thank you for your business.

LizzieApplefield

We were very pleased to find Southern Mobility Vehicles so close to home and would recommend the helpful service we received from our first enquiry to driving away in our chosen car.Patrick was extremely helpful and patient in finding a suitable vehicle that I could fit my large electric wheelchair into and was happy to let me drive into any vehicle I wished in the yard. We were able to take vehicles out to test drive them and Patrick was happy to take on the challenge of finding us a manual Kia Sedona which was not in stock.I have now had my new car for 6 weeks and with the locking plate installed (all arranged by Patrick as a one day job), I am finding loading in much quicker and journeys more comfortable.

Gaynor W.

Purchasing our used wheelchair accessible car from Southern Mobility was a very good experience. Patrick handled everything for us in a helpful and professional manner. I would recommend their services to others. TW Newport Isle of Wight

Peter M.

Needed to find a replacement mobility vehicle able to take a wheelchair plus at least four passengers plus - and most importantly two very large Chesapeake Bay retrievers. Had to be rear loading. Searching adverts found an interesting vehicle with Southern Mobility. Dubious at first as we are some 200 miles away but what an amazing experience with wonderful, helpful and above all caring people. They understood our needs, they appreciated the distance problem - even going to the trouble of a live video link while they took endless internal measurements of the vehicle to make sure everything would fit and, I bought it "unseen" - that's how much confidence they had given me. And we were not disappointed. The vehicle was everything they said it would be, spotless when delivered to our door, complete with guarantee. Patrick, their sales manager could not have been more helpful. And the vehicle is great. Have no hesitation in recommending the company to anyone seeking a mobility vehicle. PS - I don't usually do testimonials but such was the quality of their service I have made an exception. PM - Derby

Mobility Car & WAV Vehicle FAQs

We now have an FAQ list that we hope will help you answer some of the more common ones.

Is a wheelchair access vehicle a WAV?

A vehicle designed or modified to provide wheelchair accessibility is often called a “wheelchair access vehicle” or “WAV”.

WAV vehicles typically include a ramp or lift that allows disabled drivers or passengers in wheelchairs to enter and exit the vehicle and securement devices to keep the wheelchair in place during transport.

Additionally, these vehicles usually offer additional space and accommodation for mobility scooters, luggage and other bulky items, thus making road travel relatively simple for individuals using wheelchairs. Find out more here about the different types of WAVs.

Is finance available to purchase a WAV?

Yes, of course, our finance information page is here. To apply for finance on any of our WAV vehicles, you will see a tab on the vehicle page called “Finance”. Click this and apply for your wheelchair accessible vehicle finance online.

Do we stock WAV vehicles & mobility cars on-site?

Yes absolutely. We always stock new and used WAVs at our showroom.

According to the University of St Andrews, there are over 11 million disabled people across the UK, including wheelchair users. We want to think they’re all getting good advice regarding wheelchair-accessible vehicles.

Sadly, some not-so-good companies are pushing bad advice, selling the wrong type of vehicles to unknowing disabled drivers at prices that would make your eyes water.

Trying to explain that we are not like that is easy to say. To prove it, you must see for yourself and book a wheelchair-accessible vehicle home demonstration, a test drive or only a friendly chat regarding any mobility car. We are one of the UK’s leading WAV suppliers who work with all the top converters. Alternatively, you can pop in and look around at our fabulous used WAVs in stock.

Don’t hesitate to contact us for more information about finance or other purchase options.

Our team is here to help new or existing WAV customers. 0800 0087800 or sales@southernmobilityvehicles.co.uk.

Can SMV help with WAV insurance?

Yes, we can! We have a preferred insurer, but we can help whatever your circumstance with any WAV insurance for total peace of mind.
