BraunAbility Reviews

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.

You make it impossible to talk to a human being and get answers to simple questions without being dragged through the excrement of used car sales tactics Horrible....

BraunAbility is a good company. If others really pay attention to detail for individuals with special needs, it's a good vehicle. The conversion is good to help transport their disabled family members.

BraunAbility was the best choice that the VA, Veterans Affairs, helped with. We got a Honda mobility van and it's good quality. It's very helpful to transport someone in a wheelchair and the service and support BraunAbility has been good.

We got a van from BraunAbility because we had one before and we had good luck with it. It's a very good product. Our new van has an electric ramp that comes out at the push of a button. We go back yearly for checkups on it and it's been fine.

We've been using BraunAbility for years and the service and support has been excellent. It's also easy to communicate with the vendor. I just make an appointment. BraunAbility makes conversion equipment. We purchased a 2024 handicapped van and it's good quality. The van allows a chance for our son, so that's good. We can transfer my son in his wheelchair, which is what it was bought for.

When my daughter got her wheelchair, we went to BraunAbility and purchased a van to accommodate her needs. Unfortunately, our experience hasn't been smooth. The van has issues with the sliding door and ramp. It often gets jammed and can only be opened from inside the vehicle.

It was a good experience. I went with BraunAbility because they have a local dealer here.

I'm totally satisfied with the services of BraunAbility for our van.

I bought a modified minivan with a wheelchair lift at the side. The quality of the product is good. It was pricey but the VA paid for most of it, so it was not too bad.

I worked with Charlie over at Cummings Mobility, and he sent the vehicle down to BraunAbility for the conversion. The van is great and everything passed inspection. It was wonderful.

I have the Honda Odyssey for a year now. It's fine but when you come out of the ramp, the rubber strip of the door is very sensitive. Any little knock will pull it off. Then the sensor won't let the door close properly. The switch to the ramp in and out of my previous Toyota cars was a lot easier to operate than this one. I don't know if it's a Braun or Honda problem.

We bought a Toyota Sienna mobility van from Alliance Mobility in Kelowna B.C. in August of 2018. Love the van. Love the conversion. Unfortunately we are having a serious issue with the brakes. The front rotors keep warping. We have 71000km on the van. We are now on the fourth set of rotors. I built some cooling ducts to the font rotors which helped a bit. Looking at the description on the recall it seems to me that all the issues line up with the recall as there is not much pad wear on the rear.

We got a built-in ramp in a van from BraunAbility and it does what it needs to do. I'm very happy with it. It's a side entry and so far, it's been very reliable.

I purchased a Honda van, and so far, so good. I looked up a lot of information about Braunability, and I thought that sounded the best to me. It has met my expectations as well.

Absolutely a pitiful warranty. I bought a just about new (13,000 mi) Braun conversion van (Pacifica) this past Feb. After 7 months my mechanic told me this van needs new tires and an alignment. I took it to my local dealer where I bought the van only to discover Braun has a 6 month warranty on their products and conversions. 6 months? then I'm on my own? PITIFUL!!!!!

I purchased a Chrysler Pacifica minivan with a side door opening ramp from BraunAbility. The quality is good but I had some issues with the door. It was malfunctioning and damaging the door itself. That damage is visible and I’m afraid that some of that paint can turn into rust because it’s been scratched off.

We feel very good about the quality of the van we purchased from BraunAbility. It’s pretty cool that the van kneels or lowers itself so that my son can get off the ramp a lot easier. The dealership that we went through to buy the van could have explained a little bit more about the van in general. And the cost was high because we got a Honda. But overall, everything about the experience was great.

I purchased a van with a wheelchair lift and went with BraunAbility because they seemed to be one of the bigger companies. The lift has been fine, but I had a lot of problems with the electronics. The modifications have impacted the quality of the Toyota Sienna. I dealt with MobilityWorks, and I have to keep going back to them since I have issues with the sliding door. They can’t fix it. It’s driving me crazy.

We got a van converted for my husband with his wheelchair through MobilityWorks and got the VA to pay for the conversion part. My only complaint with this is the ramp is way too narrow and could be another 3 to 6 inches wider. He has a very difficult time getting up on the ramp because he has to go exactly straight or he would go off the ramp. They said they couldn’t make it any wider because of the way the van and the doors are. Otherwise, they're great. We had a van before with a ramp that came out on the back, but it got way too difficult to get him into the van with that. Now it’s gotten much easier with this one.

I needed a handicap van, so I bought a 2004 Honda Odyssey with side ramp from BraunAbility. I didn’t like that it cost $82,000. It’s hard on old folks to have that kind of money. They told me that I could put in a captain’s chair on the passenger side and put on a lock-in device where I could roll in there. I’m not gonna spend any more money since it’s too much already. My wife tore the mirror off the right side, so we went to the Honda shop to buy a complete mirror assembly. That was expensive. I’m pretty handy, so I did it myself and replaced it with the new one.

A regional center gave us two or three flyers about BraunAbility. We have special needs, so we bought a minivan from them. We talked to one other company in Illinois, and I liked our customer service from BraunAbility way better.

I bought a van that BraunAbility redid. It's a '22 Chrysler Pacifica. It works really well. It's given me my mobility back. I'm a double amputee, so I don't really walk very far much. I made three trips to see my sister in Iowa eight hours away. I go downtown every day. It’s just like driving a Cadillac or a Harley.

We were looking for a van and we saw BraunAbility online. We went up there to look and they had one that would fit what we needed. It's been a lot easier since we had the van. They have really good service.

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 Chrysler Pacifica 2024 was customized by BraunAbility to meet my needs as a handicapped veteran. Every vehicle I've had modified for accessibility over the years has been done through them, and I rely on them for their consistent quality. My sister drove the Pacifica recently to a VA appointment and noted that it has a substantial feel, akin to driving a tank, but it boasts an impressive engine and performance.
