Thought I’d put this thread to rest after Motability rang me today with the explanation as to why you can’t transfer your hoist to another car any more.
Simple answers is down to the hoist manufacturers as they don’t provide the transfer kit any more, well in the case of Auto-chair anyway because I think some manufactures still do. Goes back to my thoughts “why do a free transfer when you can sell Motability and their customers a new hoist”.?
It was a useful phone call because I explain to them that my next car may have a 6 month waiting time and my current car will be 3 months passed its service date but they told me to tell the person who I order my new car from and they will sort that out even though as I pointed out, it won’t be the same franchise/dealer.
So at least I now know in advance how much I need for the car AP (£2,049) plus hoist (£290) plus remote controls (£445) and hopefully after a GCB of £600 I will need an out lay of £2,184 and from memory that’ not far off what I paid at last handover.?
