LOCALLY owned and operated, Scooters and Mobility Geelong has been serving the region for more than two decades.<\/p>\n

Their showroom displays a wide range of products from mobility scooters, electric wheelchairs, electric lift and recline chairs, walkers, commodes, shower curtains and more.<\/p>\n

The family business is owned by Mark, Sue and Max Dillon who are on a mission to improve the quality of life for people who need assisted mobility, independence and freedom.<\/p>\n

Their work is guided around multiple values including integrity, honesty, advocacy, reliability, safety and value for money.<\/p>\n

Servicing the Geelong, Bellarine, Barwon, Surf Coast and South West regions, the team work to supply the highest quality products and provide industry leading levels of customer service.<\/p>\n

As part of the Scooters and Mobility Franchise Group, the local business can provide the best deals on a wide range of products, with internationally and nationally recognised brands including Afikim, Shoprider, Trek, Freerider and more. All products have been tested to meet the ISO international safety standards and comply with Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration standards, ensuring customers are purchasing a safe and\u00a0reliable device.<\/p>\n

They also offer an after sales service, ensuring equipment is in top working order, providing servicing and repairs in-store or in customers’ homes, depending on the situation.<\/p>\n

More complex repairs are generally completed in store, once the team has been out to collect the device, while some spare parts are also available in store and less-common pieces can be ordered in.<\/p>\n

Registered with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Scooters and Mobility Geelong can help to understand the entitlements customers have and assist in working through\u00a0the process.<\/p>\n

The showroom is open at 52 Charles Street, Newcomb and for people who can’t make it into store, the team can organise to go\u00a0to them.<\/p>\n
