Excellent customer service.

Great place, great experience and even greater staff! I picked up my new van almost two months ago and absolutely love it. They did an excellent job at accommodating me and implementing all of the necessary components to make my vehicle suit my needs. I worked with Kenny Knedler. He made sure my wife and I were comfortable and did an excellent job walking us through our new vehicle and showing us all of the features of the van. If I had to use one word to emphasize our experience whilst working with Kenny, it would be thorough. I was also very surprised at how fast Kenny was able to process us with the paperwork. It took no time at all. Before we knew it, we were in our new van and heading home. Thus far, my new vehicle has exceeded all of my expectations and I have the Ability Center of Sarasota to thank for that. My hat is off to you guys, you are masters of your trade. I highly recommend the Ability Center of Sarasota to anyone looking to get into a handicap accessible vehicle.

Couldn't ask for better service. I experienced unsafe driving with my hand controls on our new adapted van. Even though we didn't buy our van from The Ability Center, Eric, their Master Technician quickly diagnosed our mechanical problems. Bob Kinsch, the owner, gave us a loaner van to provide us continued transportation during the short repair time. Stop by and meet these folks. They had our best interests at heart. A+++

Yes, purchasing a wheelchair van can be expensive. Finding funding for these purchases can be a challenge if you don’t know where to look. The Mobility Specialists at United Access are knowledgeable of all the rebate programs and funding options available to you when you are ready to purchase your next wheelchair van.
Yes. The Veterans’ Administration offers a one-time veterans automobile grant of $21,488.29 for 100% Service Connected Veterans that meet stringent guidelines. Veterans who are 100% Service Connected are eligible for two handicap vehicle conversions every four years or one every two years. Veterans that trade their modified vehicle in every two years typically have less out-of-pocket expense getting into a new wheelchair van than a veteran that trades at a later date. Veterans and service members can apply for the automobile and/or the special adaptive equipment grant by completing VA Form 21-4502. The Mobility Specialists at United Access work closely with the local VA offices to make sure we have the most up-to-date information to help you through this purchase.

No. The conversion of a van, truck or SUV into a wheelchair accessible vehicle does not change the typical warranty when you go through our conversion manufacturers (such as BraunAbility or VMI). If you are purchasing a new vehicle, the warranty works the same as if you purchased a non-converted vehicle. If you are purchasing a pre-owned vehicle, the warranty transfers to the new owner throughout the remaining life of the vehicle’s warranty.
You have to choose the wheelchair van that best fits your personal mobility needs and we would be happy to help!
A vehicle is converted through a process of removing the interior, lowering the floor and/or raising the roof and adding a ramp or a lift. Then, the technicians replace the seats, floor, etc. back into the vehicle and finally, the exterior is repainted. Watch this BraunAbility video for a demonstration of how a van is converted into a wheelchair accessible van.
A wheelchair-accessible van is a vehicle that has been modified by increasing the interior size of the vehicle and equipping it with a means of wheelchair entry, such as a wheelchair ramp or powered lift.
Please call our office at 941-706-4687 and will go over all of the preowned wheelchair vans we have in stock and all of the prices. We can also assist you with any financing options you may need. Thanks so much for your interest
