Low Floor Conversion
Improving wheelchair accessibility
Auto Extras specialises in low-floor conversions for a wide range of vehicles, including the Volkswagen Caddy, Volkswagen Multivan and Caravelle, Kia Carnival, and Hyundai Staria. These conversions enable easy entry and exit in a wheelchair while providing ample space, safety, comfort and visibility – all without raising the roof.
At Auto Extras, our specialisation in low floor conversions sets us apart as industry leaders. We understand the unique challenges faced by individuals with mobility needs, and our expertise lies in transforming vehicles to ensure easy and comfortable access.
We take a collaborative approach by actively involving clients and their Occupational Therapists in the decision-making process. Our team works closely with you and your OT to understand your specific requirements, preferences, and functional needs. This collaboration ensures that the low floor conversion is not just a modification but a tailored solution that aligns with your lifestyle.
As an NDIS provider, compliance with industry standards is non-negotiable for us. Our low floor conversions adhere to all relevant safety regulations and standards, including those outlined in the NDIS guidelines. We prioritise the safety and well-being of our clients, and our commitment to compliance is reflected in every aspect of our service.
Auto Extras takes pride in offering an end-to-end service that goes beyond the modification itself. We understand that the journey involves multiple steps, and we are here to assist you at every stage. Whether it’s helping you purchase the right vehicle, providing a convenient pick-up and drop-off service, or offering the option to hire a wheelchair-accessible vehicle while yours is being modified, we’ve got you covered.
Our confidence in the quality of our work is backed by a five-year manufacturer’s warranty on all our modifications. This warranty is a testament to the durability and reliability of the low floor conversions we provide. We want our clients to have peace of mind, knowing that they are investing in a solution that is built to last.
