Dave & Alex - Stechford Mobility was recommended to us by a friend. First Class friendly service - had a stairlift fitted within the week & a riser chair (both excellent quality and very competitively priced). Couldn't be more helpful, trustworthy too - would definately recommend.

Thank you to Dave for arranging an appointment and dedicating so much time to us, it makes a huge difference when you feel your needs are being listened to, noted and taken into consideration. After being let down elsewhere it was great to feel confident that we were getting the right advice at last. We ordered a new powerchair, made to suit my needs, and I am eagerly awaiting its arrival! We left feeling confident that we had purchased from a reliable, helpful, friendly firm. We would definitely recommend Ideas in Action.

Today my mum has purchased a mobility scooter and the lovely staff have taken time and care to help us select the scooter, trial the scooter and information on how to fold it down. Excellent freindly service. Lots of personal care and some lovely extras for mum thank you that was very kind. Definatly worth buying a new scooter to ensure you get the 12 month warranty. Five star service.
