Just over 1 year ago we purchased a Pride lift chair from MEDability in Markham. Very helpful and very happy to take your money and offer great service.
The chair was working fine until one week ago it stopped working completely.
I called MEDabilty and was informed that it was under warranty, however we would have to pay $175 plus GST for a representative to check out the problem.
I was asked to give them all the info required to explain what the problem was.
A representative was sent out to my Mothers (95 yrs old) and assessed the problem to be a faulty control box. They could not fix on site and we were informed the chair would be fixed when the part was available.
When the part came in, they called me to arrange anther appointment and informed me there would be another $152.00 to replace the defective part. Unfortunately we had no recourse but to pay again or the chair would not be repaired.
This is probably one of the biggest scams I have ever dealt with.
The warranty is a joke and I would recommend that purchasing a PRIDE chair is not a good idea and purchasing from MEDabilty would not be a good place to purchase these products from.
It is obvious, this company is really great when buying but not so great when warranty issues arise.
There are many other companies out there that provide much better service so just be aware to check these companies before even considering this company that is much more concerned with making extra money on warranty repairs than actually providing a good service.
