Wheelchair Warranty Information: Quickie Dominates the Market

Wheelchairs have a tendency to breakdown just like everything else as the years go by. If you are looking for a wheelchair for a loved one, yourself or happen to be a collector here is some warranty information on different types of chairs from different companies. Quickie wheelchairs are some of the highest chairs you are going to find. Quickies usually vary in terms of warranty from six months to a year and a half depending on the model. The sad thing is that with your Quickie wheelchairs certain parts of the chair of course under warranty for longer then others. This can get very confusing, but I usually go by the six months to a year rule and then otherwise you're in for a rather large bill.

Just to give you an idea on the variance if you go to justquickiewheelchairs.com your main frame of the chair can be covered for up to five years. On the other hand what some would consider "luxury" items such as backpacks, arm rests and seat belts are covered for just ninety days after the purchase. I have dealt mostly with Quickies and they stay in pretty good shape. Quickie is known for fairly quality customer service, but as I have mentioned in the past it depends on your local dealer on how lenient they are going to be on matters dealing with warranties. Of course under the Motorized Wheelchair Act of 1994 up to twelve states requested that manufacturers put any part of your motorized wheelchair or scooter under warranty for up to one year. So really it depends on which state you are in as to what the rules and regulations are as noted by wheelchairnet.org.
