BraunAbility Reviews

2015 Braunability by dodge. AC system is terrible. The most money we have put into this vehicle is on the AC system. Terrible design. Every season it needs work done on it.

My husband had a stroke and we were using a slide board that he didn't like at all and I don't blame him. So we decided to get a van and we went through the VA. We had to get him a new wheelchair and then the VA put in the accouterments that he needed to put his wheelchair in because it automatically snapped down. Unfortunately, the thing took so long that he only had the use of it for about a month and a half. But it worked out for me because he was still living when I was given a medication and I lost all my skin, my fingernails, my toenails, and my hair. I only hung on to my dignity by a thread. I had to learn to walk all over again because I was bed-bound for months. The van is very good on gas. Everything has worked the way that it's supposed to.

I bought the BraunAbility van from Honda. But it was all screwed up when I first got it. It had to go back. Whoever did the lift did a terrible job this time. I was not happy with it. I had to take it back so many times, and Ilderton had to come out to my house a couple of times. They have to send my van to Tennessee for the lift to be done. But overall, BraunAbility is a good thing for people with disabilities who are in wheelchairs.

I’ve heard good things about BraunAbility and I liked the rear-entry wheelchair lift that I got. We have the puck that's mounted on the bottom of the wheelchair, which is so easy, and it locks it in. It's a nice feature. The service from the sealer was good and BraunAbility was great to work with.

BraunAbility is the company that we always go to for our wheelchair vans. They've done maintenance at least once for us on a lift. We're a non-emergency medical transportation company. We shuttle people to and from their doctor's appointments all over the state. Almost all of our wheelchair van purchases have come from them. I've been up there about four times in the last five years and every time, it's been exactly the way it should go. I'm in and out and everything's taken care of.

We bought the brand-new van and Toyota chose BraunAbility. It’s very reputable, so I have no problem with that. It’s been a year and it’s been wonderful. We have the whole nine yards, and I love the ramp and the mechanism. It is the fold-down kind, and it's automatic. I'm very happy with it. The product has been extremely reliable and easy to use, except for the tie-downs. I’m not sure if they are part of the Braun accessibility system, but the placement of where they are in the van could be better. Overall, everything's been fine and hunky-dory to this point. I just pray that if something were to break or need tweaking, all of that goes well.

I purchased a wheelchair-accessible van from BraunAbility, and my experience was fine. I like that the ramp isn't as steep as the others. The quality is good as well. Their customer service has been great, too.

We bought a motorized ramp that goes into the vehicle from BraunAbility and we really didn't have a choice but to go with them as it was something that is paid for through Medicaid. In the beginning, were having mechanical issues. So, I had to have the car towed twice and I had to pay for somebody to diagnose it. The dealership that we went to, MobilityWorks, was the one who was responsible for having the conversion done but when we brought the car to them, they could not diagnose the issue. So, I had to take it to a private mechanic and pay out of pocket to get that looked at. The diagnosis was there was a wiring problem because the car was not starting from the starter button inside the car. So, the private mechanic fixed it. But the car had to go back again a second time to the repair shop. All in all, the product itself seems to be fine, but whatever was done to create this conversion in my car caused other issues.

I bought a handicap accessibility van. BraunAbility did the modification - a wheelchair ramp into the van. It looks good on the van and is life-changing. It allows me to get out and do more things. BraunAbility should keep up its good work.

BraunAbility installed the ramp on my wheelchair van. When I purchased the van, I looked at the price of the van itself and BraunAbility was an equal amount. So I essentially paid for two vans for one van plus the BraunAbility add-ons that are required for my disability. But the add-ons are very helpful. I have lockdowns in the van for my wheelchair. I have a lowered floor of the van itself so that the ramp can come out easier. They are pretty good accommodations. I am not the one that currently drives it, but I'm planning on adding hand controls when I'm able to. BraunAbility is overpriced for some things but the quality is good and it's a trustworthy company that's been around for probably longer than my entire life span. I would be willing to recommend it to a friend on the basis that they needed the equipment.
