BraunAbility Reviews

I bought a van from BraunAbility. It has the door that opens on the side, the driver's door that tilts so I can get in and out of the passenger door. It's a full-fledged van and the middle seat is out of it. That's where the wheelchair goes and we got the metal wheelchair lift that lays out. BraunAbility's rep was about the best you could get. They were on time, upscale, assertive, communicative, and honest. There was no pressure and they explained the product well. They made sure before I left that everything was done correctly and I knew how to do things in case of an emergency. They were immaculate and I'd recommend them.

BraunAbility was recommended by the place that we took our van to to be modified, and they did a great job. They modified the van so it now has an in-floor ramp. We're very happy with the vehicle. It's quiet. We're very happy with the modification as well but when they did it, they took out any venting for air or heat in the rear so that's quite uncomfortable. Other than that, BraunAbility is a great company and we would use them again.

The accessible van has been very helpful. Our daughter uses a wheelchair. We use the van almost daily for taking her to programs and appointments, et cetera. It was something that was part of our daily routine. The van we had previous to this was a VMI conversion and that one worked fine. But we saw the opportunity to get this van from a local dealer and we decided to try the BraunAbility version. The mechanism itself seems to work fine. It's straightforward in terms of how to use it. However, because of all the electronics and the way the conversion is done, there are very few storage places inside the van itself. It's not a big deal. But for instance, there's no place to put a Kleenex box. Other than that, everything works smoothly. We haven't had any problems with it.

I bought a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica, and BraunAbility converted it. They cut the whole floor out of the van, weld in a new frame and undercoated the whole thing. It's super nice and has made life easier. I went through MobilityWorks and that in itself was great as well. The price was good.

We purchased a BraunAbility van with the in-the-floor ramp. I've had BraunAbility before, and this is my third van. I went through the mobility dealers. They just showed me all the different products and a couple of other ramp systems by different companies and different vehicles. But in my opinion, Braun is always superior. So, I chose to continue with their product.

My van is a Chrysler Pacifica 2024. And it's been altered by BraunAbility to meet my needs as a handicapped veteran. Well, all of my handicap vehicles have all been BraunAbility, and I just go through one company.

I purchased a car at BraunAbility. It's a minivan with a ramp, and its quality was standard. The convenience of the ramp stands out, but that's the purpose of it, for my son's wheelchair. Well, basically, it works for what we were expecting to. Everything has been good.

I manage a residence and we have two wheelchair accessible vans from BraunAbility, one big van holds two wheelchairs and six people, and we also have a smaller van that holds one wheelchair and three to four people. It makes it very easy for us to get around, go on regular outings, or take our residents to appointments. The vans are pretty good. When the lease is up, they come to pick up the van and drop off a new van, so they’ve always been precise. I don't have to do anything but sign the paperwork and get the keys. They’ve always been very nice and professional, and I’ve never had any issues with them. I did recommend BraunAbility to a family member because of the wheelchair accessibility, and they wound up getting a smaller van because they’re a small family.

I had a mixed experience with BraunAbility. The van worked well for rear access but it was too noisy because the conversion didn’t have enough insulation, so it made it difficult to have a conversation at highway speeds. On the city street side, it was livable, and other than that, it was good.

I have had nothing but issues since we bought our vehicle from Braunability. Our brand new vehicle spent the first 2 out of 3 months in the shop. We told the manager we wanted a different vehicle and by Ohio lemon law should have got one. The manager told us we would get one but they still needed their lender vehicle back. Needless to say the new vehicle never happened. Now with less than 10,000 miles the ramp side door wouldn't close. It has to be physically pushed shut. Then it ripped of the trim (which they did replace). Now, and again, with less than 10,000 miles the AC is not working. The radio works when it wants to which is most times it works. Other times it freezes up or just won't turn on at all. So when you are backing up you could literally back into traffic because of their faulty vehicles.

I have a van that was adapted by BraunAbility. They made it a kneel van so it lowered itself. They also put in a ramp and took out the middle seats and installed automatic sliding doors. It was fitted exactly to my specifications. It's great driving it.

I had a BraunAbility ramp installed on my van. It’s been working great, and I haven’t had any problems. I’ve had it for about a year. The dealers from Siebert Mobility were great.

Braunability is awesome. I used to rent from them before I bought my van from them a long time ago. The van is great. I just wish it had been cheaper. But my sister feels that the price is reasonable considering the parts in the van, the mileage, and the model year.

BraunAbility is wonderful. The van service is working out great. It’s of excellent quality and very dependable. I’ve never contacted customer service.

I went to Superior Van and purchased a BraunAbility van that already had a lift inside of it. It was a very quick process because they already had the van available and it was already equipped, so it was only a two-week turnaround. It’s definitely made my life a little easier. I highly recommend both BraunAbility and Superior Van.

I purchased a van with a ramp from BraunAbility, and everything worked out great. I like it the quality of the product. I had a Toyota Sienna that had a different ATF in it, so I traded it in on this one. This one’s been great, and no issues at all.

I got a companion conversion from BraunAbility, and we like it. We had a previous van before that was a total conversion, and it was power ramp. This one is manual, but we’ve adapted and adjusted to it. The conversion is fine, and we have never had any problems with it.

I’ve seen BraunAbility around for years. I had a van converted through them. It seems pretty solid. I haven’t had to contact their customer support yet.

I purchased my van at BraunAbility. There was a lot involved in it but it was worth it. It took about two months. So far, the quality is good. Everything was very positive. They were really nice to work with and helpful. And we didn't have any issues actually.

I won a Pacifica van through MDFF and BraunAbility purchased it for me. It's really nice and I love it. The whole installation of the wheelchair lift was really quick, which was awesome. Communication with them was really good, too. However, I wish that it were easier for people to be able to have access to vehicles that are accessible without being an arm and a leg purchase. Anyone who can walk can go get a beater with a heater for less than 1000 bucks, and it takes a special van for us to be able to get around.

I bought a Chrysler Van Deluxe from BraunAbility, and I adore it. It exceeds my expectations. It maneuvers better than the one I had before, which was also a Chrysler. But it wasn't the Deluxe. I don't know that that could possibly make a difference, but it has. It handles differently. The vehicle handles more user-friendly. It doesn't come natural to me to drive a van, but I've learned. And I love it. It's the top-of-the-line. And the one I had before is remarkable and worth the price.

We started looking for a wheelchair-accessible vehicle about 10 years ago and found BraunAbility. We’ve had some issues with the vehicle. We were told that it’s related to the conversion, but I’m not sure. We’re still trying to figure out.

I can remember ever since as a kid that there's been a conversion van placed in BraunAbility, that's why I knew to go there first.

This is like driving a tank. The noise level is horrible. Believe me. I spent 12 years in a military tank that was quieter. Went back for warranty and was told it is what it is. It appears there is no insulation in the floor or interior.

BraunAbility is a great company. I like that my dad has a foldout ramp, it has lighting and it's real accessible to him with his power wheelchair. He's more mobile, going from place to place and doing daily stuff, so it has definitely helped.

It's been wonderful with BraunAbility. I heard about them from the Texas Workforce Commission. I love the van. It’s of top-notch quality and it has helped tremendously. It has given me my independence and a quality of life. It's been able to help me care for my children and work, and do the things I need to do.

I bought a Chrysler Pacifica 2024 and the BraunAbility stuff is terrific. We like the automated ramp coming out and the lighted ramp. Sometimes when it's dark it's hard to see, but that lighted ramp really makes a difference. The salespeople that we bought it from were terrific. They came to the house, talked to us, took us to a showroom, brought us back and spent a lot of time with us. They weren’t pushy and answered all our questions. They did a very nice job.

I got a wheelchair van with the turn seat. The quality of the product is great. I bought it from Access Vans, but I think that they put in the seat and the hand controls. The ramp was the thing that was done. When the people are selling the vehicles, they say that there's a $1,000 rebate for people with disabilities. I was under the understanding that I was supposed to receive that $1,000. But since I had a third party pay for my modifications, that $1,000 wasn't there. I don't understand how that is.

I like my van from BraunAbility with the undercarriage, slide-out ramp, and the swivel seat. The controls came with them too, maybe. Without it, I can’t be where I’m at today. Getting it is the best decision I made thus far. The only one hiccup I have is on my swivel seat. Even though it’s brand new, every time I transfer into it, I have to reach down and tap the forward or back button for it to go. I would hate to drive over three hours just for them to try to fix it. Also, it’s expensive, and if something breaks, the insurance may not pay for it. People in wheelchairs or who are disabled don’t have the funds to pay out of pocket to get it fixed. Other than that, the product is good.

I like how comfortable the ramp is and being able to get around and handle my day‑to‑day activities. I haven’t really dealt with BraunAbility directly, though. I’ve never interacted with them personally. I’ve only bought vehicles that already had the ramp installed.
