  • Automotive Industry Downturn May Reduce Availability of Wheelchair Conversion Van Chassis

    (EMAILWIRE.COM, May 19, 2009 ) Mentor, Ohio – M.C. Mobility Systems, a leading Ohio wheelchair van dealer, offers its insights into the latest mobility industry developments so customers can make informed vehicle purchasing decisions. The ongoing travails affecting the auto industry may negatively impact the production of wheelchair van chassis, as two of the major chassis manufacturers, Dodge and Chrysler, are facing unprecedented setbacks. M.C. Mobility is monitoring this situation and offers its insights into what these developments could mean for the wheelchair van conversion industry.

    The automotive industry crisis could produce the following ramifications: If any of the major convertible van chassis manufacturers were to go out of business, the ripple effect would be transferred to Tier 2 companies who perform the major conversions (Braun, Vantage, Vision) and then down to Tier 3 companies like M.C. Mobility, which installs seating, hand controls and other conversion products. This could create a reliance on costlier foreign-made chassis that are also more expensive to service.

    M.C. Mobility understands that these potential consequences could impact van purchasers and will keep abreast of the situation to help inform its customers. “M.C. Mobility has a longstanding reputation of working with customers and agencies that provide funding for wheelchair accessible vans,” said Dennis Charvat, General Manager of M.C. Mobility Systems. “As the country navigates its way through this economic downturn M.C. Mobility will continue to work with its customers and agencies such as the Veterans Administration, Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation, Workers Compensation, MS Society, and Easter Seals to present a range of vehicle purchase funding options. M.C. Mobility also offers financing on new and used vehicles with terms up to ten years,” Mr. Charvat stated.

    For those customers who want to purchase a wheelchair accessible van http://www.mcmobilitysystems.com/salessearch/sales.aspx now, M.C. Mobility offers a large selection of fully equipped vehicles, including a 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT, 2008 Toyota Sienna LE, 2008 Honda Odyssey EX, 2007 Chrysler Town & Country LX and many more wheelchair vans. M.C. Mobility invites customers to “Try Before they Buy,” and rent a wheelchair accessible van http://www.abilityvanrentals.com/ from Ability Van Rentals. Renting a wheelchair van allows customers to experience the vehicle’s features and decide if the wheelchair van fits their needs. Whether they wish to buy or rent, M.C.
