Adaptations installer

Your installer can talk to you about adaptations and help you choose what’s right for you.

Your installer will help you find the best adaptation for you

They’ll ask about your needs and if they might change in the future. This helps them give you the best advice about which adaptations will suit you.

They’ll fill out a quick questionnaire to confirm they’ve talked to you. And that you’re happy and can use the adaptations safely.

Ask them for a copy, then take this with you to the dealer. It’ll help you choose a vehicle. We recommend you get advice from an adaptations installer first, then see our adaptations prices after.

Speak to an adaptations installer first 

It's important you find out which adaptations you need before you choose a vehicle. As not all adaptations fit all vehicles.
Your installer will listen to what you can afford and match this to your needs, then recommend the right vehicle.
They’ll check the adaptations you chose work with your new vehicle and show you how to use them.
When you’re ready, they’ll order your adaptations for you. And manage any updates if your needs change. 
When your vehicle arrives, your installer will collect your new vehicle so they can install your adaptations. Or fit them on site.
You’ll get to familiarise yourself with your new adaptations and ask questions.
If your needs change during your lease or you think you need something different, your installer can give you information about what might suit you better.
Remember to share your licence code with your installer, if you have one. This is a code some people legally need.
