You will be pleased to know that this is certainly not the case as the adaptations we supply here at PB Conversions for mobility cars Hertfordshire will in no way affect the overall performance of the vehicle, just assist in making it easier to drive.
There are many different adaptations that can be fitted to car to make it more accessible to drive for those who may have previously have found it difficult. These adaptations are designed to be used in accordance with the regular controls of the car so as not to affect the overall performance in any way.
For those with very little strength, reduced movement or any similar disability, the space drive car adaptation uses microprocessors to allow you to control the vehicle in much the same way as usual. This enables the brakes, accelerator, steering wheel and every other part of the car to be controlled with ease.
If driving with two hands is difficult or impossible, radio remotes can be fitted to the steering wheel in the form of a ball or lollipop grip that facilitates the utilisation of your stalk functions. The transmitter then sends a radio signal to the control box connected to your car when you instruct it by pushing a button.

May 18, 2011Once any form of adaptation has been installed within a vehicle to help those with mobility issues, it is essential that they are regularly maintained and kept in the highest working order. To ensure superior performance at all times, we at PB Conversions recommend a full service of all equipment on an annual basis to make certain that those who have a problem with mobility Bedfordshire are in a vehicle with adaptations that are working as they should be.
Especially with car adaptations, any fault that occurs has the potential for severe consequences. With a regular service, all equipment will be thoroughly tested so that any problems can be identified at the earliest opportunity and the relevant course of action can be implemented to resolve the issue.
If problems are left to escalate without any treatment, there is a strong chance you may find the adaptations are beyond repair and can no longer be used within the vehicle. This in turn will mean that you will have to purchase brand new equipment at a much greater cost than if you had completed the annual service.
For all customers who purchase mobility aids from the selection here at PB Conversions, an annual service reminder will be sent out to encourage you to book the equipment in for a comprehensive service. On bringing your mobility car to our specialist service centre, all work will be completed by a team of trained professionals completely free of charge.

Our vehicle motability adaptation service varies between each individual and can see the following motoring accessories being fitted in your vehicle;
Seats
Seats are one of the most important features of the vehicle and having an easy to use system is imperative if you are to get into the car in the first place. We at PB Conversions can install a seat in your vehicle that converts into a wheelchair to remove the hassle and time consuming task of transferring every time you need to get in or out. Working with either a manual or automatic system the seats swivel outwards to making getting into the vehicle far easier.
Steering Aids
We have various steering aids available that are designed to make the steering of your car as straightforward as possible. A car with heavy steering can be difficult to control so we can either lighten your power steering or introduce features such as steering wheel knobs to make driving your vehicle simpler.
Left Foot Accelerator
This feature is advantageous if movement is restricted in the legs or feet of the driver. The process involves fitting a second accelerator pedal so that you have one either side of the brake. As a twin flip pedal you can pull down whichever you wish to use, therefore allowing another driver to use the car as standard if needed. These adaptations can only be fitted to automatic vehicles.
With various features to improve the cars of those with a mobility issue, we at PB Conversions can be relied on to install the most effective aid for each individual customer. For further information regarding our motability Hertfordshire service, feel free to get in touch with our friendly team.
