There are no free remote electronic hand controls or hoists but I’m not to much bothered about having to pay for them…..ONCE or even once every 6 years.
It’s the fact you have to pay for them every 3 years and its more annoying when government bangs on about making domestic good repairable so as not to fill up the land fill site with more or less perfectly good equipment and having to be renewed causing more muck in the air manufacturing new ones.
Total personal cost to myself over 13 years with Motability is about £3,700 (not including AP’s) and I never had a hoist in my first three cars. All this time while I was on pension credit other than the last year.
