I'm a longtime customer of Superior Van & Mobility. While I have primarily utilized their Indianapolis Southside location, I've visited this location as I've been considering the possibility of moving into an adaptive van.
If you've ever experienced the world of adaptive mobility, you know that there are lots of options, technology is amazing, everything is confusing, and it's all super expensive.
Superior offers wheelchair vans, scooters, and adaptive driving equipment. Up to now in my life, I've always used hand controls and I've always driven a 2-door vehicle. However, this is highly specialized equipment and I've always trusted specialized folks to install it. For the last several years, this has been Superior.
As I'm getting older, it has become more obvious that I truly need to consider an option where I'm not having to get out of my wheelchair as much. Despite how much I hate stereotypes, it's time to consider a van and/or similar vehicle with a ramp/lift and that is set up for me as a driver.
Superior primarily carries vans and SUV type vehicles. They shy aware from doing anything "outside the box" as they consider some of the more gimmicky options to be less safe and reliable.
With my last visit, I was able to go in and get a great idea of my options, pricing, features, and I was even able to experiment with handling some of the equipment available to see what worked best for me. I was impressed that they went all out for me even though I'd made it clear up front that I wasn't yet at the point of purchase.
Superior carries new, used, and pre-owned equipment. With new, you typically get a warranty on both vehicle and equipment. On pre-owned, you might get a limited vehicle warranty but will get an equipment warranty. A used vehicle, the most affordable, typically does not include a warranty.
Superior offers service and they do both personal and commercial vehicles. They even have an emergency service option.
I came away with very definite recommendations on the best vehicle and equipment for me and liked that I didn't feel pressured. Superior has about 17 locations nationwide and they do have some financing options.
Most of the vehicle options include Braun, Honda, Toyota, Dodge, Chrysler, and the Chevy Traverse (which is the one I really want, but it's also probably the most expensive).
Needing an adapted vehicle isn't easy and it's definitely expensive, but I've been pleased with the folks at Superior (both locations in Central Indiana including this one) for several years. I've yet to have a bad experience! read more
