Mobility scooter repair in San Jose

Three-wheel or four, a mobility scooter is how someone gets to the shops and to appointments — so it gets the same treatment as any mobility equipment here. It moves ahead of the queue, we'll come to you if it can't be loaded, and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth fixing before you go to the trouble.

We'll come to you

Loading a mobility scooter into a car is most of the problem. If it can't be moved, we service it on site — call and describe the fault first.

You don't wait in the queue

Bench projects run about 3 weeks out. Mobility equipment does not wait behind them. Losing your scooter is losing your independence, and we treat it that way.

We'll tell you if it isn't worth it

Some older scooters cost more to fix than to replace. We'd rather say so on the phone than after you've paid for an evaluation.

How it works

  1. Call or check in online with the make, model and what it's doing.
  2. We tell you whether to bring it in, whether we should come out, or whether it's past worth fixing.
  3. Evaluation is $80 and covers the first hour — if it's fixed inside that hour, that IS the labor charge.
  4. You get the price before the work, not after.
  5. Ask about a loaner if it's staying with us.

Questions we get

Do you come to my home?

Yes. If the scooter can't be loaded into a vehicle, we service it on site. Call (408) 271-9111 and describe what it's doing — we'll tell you whether it's a house call or a bench job.

Do you take insurance?

We work with Global Repair Group — if your repair is covered through them, we can handle it that way. We aren't set up with other insurers yet, so with those you'd pay us at the counter and claim the money back yourself. Ask for an itemised invoice and we'll make sure it has what your insurer needs on it.

How long will it take?

Mobility equipment moves ahead of our normal queue, which runs about 3 weeks. Battery swaps and simple faults are often same-day. Ask about a loaner if it's staying.

Do you replace the batteries?

Yes. Most mobility scooters run a sealed pair rather than a lithium pack, and that's a straight replacement. We test before replacing, so you're not buying batteries to fix a charger fault.

Is it worth repairing an old scooter?

Sometimes not, and we'll say so. Tell us the model and the fault on the phone and we'll give you an honest read before you spend anything.

What does it cost?

Evaluation is $80 and covers the first hour. Labor after that is $80–$130 an hour depending on the work, with an $80 shop minimum. Parts are extra and priced before we start.
