What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Helpful, knowledgeable staff and a swift, caring approach are the themes that surface most often across the feedback for this London mobility business. Reviewers repeatedly describe how enquiries are handled with patience and professionalism, with John and Jo singled out by name for their welcoming manner and the clear guidance they give on choosing equipment such as walkers, knee walkers and wheelchairs.

Several customers recall needing mobility aids at short notice, including one who broke a foot abroad and found everything requested already set up on return, and another who required a wheelchair for a sporting event. The products themselves are described as light, comfortable and straightforward to operate, and the hire of items including a raised loo seat and a bed aid for an elderly relative is mentioned with appreciation.

Praise for communication before and after the job comes up frequently, as does the sense that questions are dealt with obligingly. Reviewers also highlight good value and quick turnaround on orders, with one noting delivery to the north of Scotland arrived within two days over the festive period. The recurring impression is of a team that cares about getting the right result for each customer, down to the ongoing advice offered after a purchase.

Absolutely awful experience with this mobility scooter company. The first scooter broke down and had to be replaced, only for the replacement scooter to start constantly breaking down as well. My dad was left stranded when it stopped working while he was out, and because of his mobility issues he physically could not pull it back himself. It was stressful, upsetting, and completely unacceptable. Customer service has been no help whatsoever. Instead of taking responsibility for supplying faulty products, they just try to charge more money. We were told we would have to pay a pickup and delivery fee, plus £70 per hour for repairs, on top of paying for any parts needed. After already dealing with repeated breakdowns, this is disgraceful. They also advertise the scooters as having a long battery life, but in reality it only lasts around an hour before needing charging. Completely misleading. To make matters worse, when I asked to speak to a manager, I was told there was “no point” because she would only tell me the same thing anyway. That response alone shows exactly how little they care about customers or resolving issues properly. The worst part is how they treat customers once they’ve made a sale. Before ordering, they are responsive and helpful, but once the scooter is delivered they don’t want to know. Messages get ignored and support disappears completely. Then they still have the cheek to say “reach out if you need anything in future” despite refusing to properly help when problems happen. I would never recommend this company to anyone, especially people who rely on mobility equipment daily. Faulty products, poor customer service, misleading claims, and constant extra charges — avoid at all costs.

We were looking for a mobility scooter and Jo was extremely helpful and she took time to explain everything to us, including how to collapse the scooter. Would highly recommend them.

Broke my foot whilst abroad, just one phone call and on my return they had already installed everything that I had requested. A fast efficient professional helpful and friendly company. Great value for money. Would highly recommend to anyone requiring mobility aids. Thank you Independent Living Mobility for making these past three months so much easier for me.

The service I received from this company was first class. The product I ordered was delivered in 2 days even though I live in the very north of Scotland and this was between Christmas and New Year. A huge thank you to the very helpful staff for their professional service and attention.

Found this company online to help my partner find a knee walker. The staff were extremely helpful and got one sorted that day. Really good price, friendly service and definitely would recommend to others looking for mobility assistance.

The most wonderful and helpful business. We needed a wheelchair for the Maccabi Games and they provided the most comfortable and easy to use wheelchair. I wouldn’t hesitate to come here again and highly recommend them. Thank you so much 💛
