We took delivery of our second Motability vehicle, our first, the dealership clearly just saw us as another sale, the vehicle was totally inappropriate for my needs & took 18 months of my freedom away rather than enhancing my life.
Then we found out about McElmeel & so the transformation to my liberty began. From the initial Demo last year to the delivery, everything was tailored to meet my needs.
We were given a delivery timescale & progress updates were made by phone every 6 weeks with every communication professional but friendly, making me feel very special, so a big thank you to Roisin for the efficient administration of our order.
So would I recommend McElmeel for the purchase of your WAV? 100% I would!
Thank you McElmeel for changing my life & giving me back my freedom. (Pictures are of our first adventure with my big scooter on The Lizard in Cornwall close to where we live)
Anton updated us regularly with how we were doing, and although there was a slight delay we have now received our Tourneo. This vehicle has been adapted expertly, with little detail to just make our life so much easier. We're so pleased with McElmeel, such a friendly knowledgeable team and we will be calling on them again in 5 years time!
Things insignificant to everyone else but that mean the world to me. Going to the park, going shopping, going to the zoo, a trip to IKEA now my son has learned Swedish, a kids farm, kids play areas etc.
You have no idea how eternally grateful I am.
This will change life for my family drastically and I get to be part of our family again instead of watching everything from the sidelines.
Thank you to Desmond, Nadine, Robbie, Emily & everyone behind the scenes who helped me become a wife and mother again.
You have no idea how much your work changes lives of people like me.
Thank you so much.
I wanted to thank you for the wonderful service we received from McElmeel mobility services whilst we were ordering our new WAV.
Of all the times to order a new vehicle we did it in the middle of a pandemic but the help and advice we received was fantastic!
Terry and Eddie gave us really friendly thorough ‘covid safe’ demonstrations. They also offered us some good advice based on their comprehensive knowledge of the vehicles and the needs of our family.
Mary, you were amazing keeping us informed throughout the whole process and being such a lovely positive and friendly voice to hear at a time when I needed it most.
When Ben delivered the vehicle he was extremely polite and informative about how the vehicle worked and answered many of our daft questions!
The whole process was stress free and I would definitely use McElmeel again in the future.
Many thanks from
Helen, Jason, Sophie and Archie
From the very first contact with McElmeel Motability Services right through to the delivery of our new WAV, our dealings with this family run firm have been outstanding. From sales, office support and delivery handover everyone has been professional, efficient, courteous and friendly and have always been keen to keep us up-to-date with developments during the whole process. Our disabled son knew exactly what type of vehicle he wanted and what adaptions he needed and everyone involved from McElmeels patiently listened and then made it happen - he was grinning from ear to ear when it drove up the drive and he now spends a lot of his time just sitting in it! Once again, thank you to everyone at McElmeels for making a young man very happy. We have no hesitation in recommending McElmeels in the highest possible terms.
Cheers,
Will & Dawn Benson
A very big thankyou to you all for the adaptation of our Ford Transit Custom. Looking forward to getting out and about and more independence and quality of life.
I would like to mention all the people we dealt with throughout this process, Eddie the rep, Mary who kept us updated, Aaron for delivering the car to us and not forget all the lads in the workshop, all very professional. We will certainly recommend you to others.
Many thanks again
Lorraine & Ian Spark
Look after yourselves and keep safe.
We've just had our new WAV vehicle delivered this week for my daughter Abby, unfortunately I don't have a Facebook account to be able to leave a review but I couldn't go without thanking McElmeels for all your help.
The initial demo with Nadine was so hassle free to organise, she was so friendly and informative as and we knew straight away it was the right vehicle for us. The ordering process again was very straight forward and the staff at McElmeels were frequently in touch up until delivery day. Our van was delivered to us by Aaron, what a friendly guy! He talked me through every inch of the van and made sure I was happy with everything before he left.
I really couldn't recommend McElmeels enough. This vehicle will make a massive difference to what we can do together as a family....thank you!
Hi Mary
We are loving the new WAV that we received on Monday from yourselves.
I would like to say how much a pleasure it has been dealing with McElmeel from Eddie’s demonstration right through to dealing with yourself and the collection of the WAV from Ben.
I will definitely be using McElmeel again in 5 years to get another WAV for our daughter Rebecca as the service and build quality is first class.
Thanks again Mary for all your help throughout.
Kind Regards
Richard Keen
Hi Mary,
Just to let you know the handover with the new car went very well. Ben was very mannerly and provided all of the appropriate information.
We are very happy with the WAV and we know it will make life easier.
The whole process from order to delivery was very smooth, regardless of all of the miles between us!
You have kept us regularly updated and you all have been very friendly and helpful.
We shall definitely recommend McElmeels!
Thank you very much for your assistance throughout the past six months.
Kind regards
Michael and Sarah Douglas
The handover was straight forward and Benjamin who delivered it was very efficient and thorough. He explained every detail from servicing to the rear ramp and on to the security straps to make sure we all knew how to make Simons chair safe.
We were kept informed through the whole process by Mary even telling us the time that the car would be delivered. The car arrived on time as planned and Mary even phoned us this afternoon to check that the hand over went ok.
We would highly recommend McElmeel to any one who is need of a Motability vehicle.
Once again all our thanks to Mary and all at McElmeel.
Ann & Richard Cole
Even though we were in a lockdown, nothing was too much hassle, test drive the van as long as you want they said, make sure it's the one for your needs. The Transit Connect was ideal except my wife got a sore neck trying to see out, so we went for the bigger Transit Custom Family as this allowed my wife the best all round vision, the vehicle is more like a large car to drive than any van that I ever drove!
We took delivery of the van from a lovely gentleman called Malachy, he cleaned all of the surfaces before coming to our door, again nothing was too much hassle, he took his time explaining everything we needed to know about the vehicle, then after a few days, we received a courtesy call to make sure everything was ok and if we needed any further assistance just ask.
McElmeel has renewed our confidence in customer service, something other companies could learn from!
From start to finish communication have been brilliant. Being the first time ordering a wav we were unsure how the process worked, but you made it very easy. Would like to say thank you to Aaron who delivered the WAV. Nothing was to much to ask. The build quality of the WAV is lovely. Thanks again.
We look forward with continuing our communication with you over the next few years.
Good morning Roisin it’s Billy Atherton Joseph’s Dad.
Would like to say thank you for all your help and support whilst getting and sorting out the Ford mobility Vehicle. It’s brilliant we are made up with it .
Would also like to say that the delivery driver was a really nice and well mannered man and went through everything again with us and was very helpful .
Again thank you and hopefully we can see you in about 5 years when he’s due a new one.
Thanks
Billy , Sarah and Joseph Atherton
Dear Roisin
Just a quick note to say how pleased we are with the car.
It took a time to adjust to the wheelchair fixtures but I am getting quicker . Peter feels safe travelling and the drive is so much better than the Caddy.
I appreciate it is so much smoother and not as rattley
Many thank for your help and the patience of the rest of your team. We definitely made the right decision in choosing your wheelchair accessible vehicle for us and the Ford was the right car for us.
Many thanks to the team and stay safe!!!!!
Kind Regards
Lynne and Peter Casey
Hi Aimee,
I would like to thank you for all the help you have provided with Ethan's new car. It was dropped off earlier today and looks amazing.
In comparison to the last company we ordered through you have been outstanding. Great communication all the way has kept us from having to chase things up.
I have posted a review on the motability forum and will post it on Facebook later.
A big thanks from
Tony and celia
Fiachra and I want to thank you all very much for sorting out everything for us to get our new Ford Fortitude Van. We're over the moon at how quickly you managed to get it all sorted for us, especially as Christmas is just around the corner too!! Best of luck to you all as you go forward- especially Anton- massive thankyou to you!!
Many Thanks for all your hard work in getting us our WAV in such an efficient manner. We really appreciate all the trouble you took.
Thankyou for all your help and advice when I was choosing a new car. My life has changed so much. I can come and go when I please and don't rely on anybody. I have my life back.
Natasha and myself would just like to say a big thank you in helping us get our new car, we really appreciate everything you done for us and we will have so many happy times travelling in it so many thanks.
For all your help and assistance in helping us to obtain our Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle your guidance was greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
I would like to thank you all for the lovely service you have given to mw and my family. Everyone has been very kind.
Wishing you all the very best,
Many thanks for all your help. The car will make such a difference to Gwen and Harold and I couldn't have managed this without you.
Thanks Ann
Just want to say a big thank you to everyone that has been involved in helping me to get my first Motability WAV. I am delighted with the service I have received and with the vehicle itself. Hopefully this will now give me even more independence and I would highly recommend your company it to anyone thinking of going on the Motability scheme. Also Thank you to Sean for doing the handover in a very polite and professional way.
From start to finish, everyone at McElmeels' we're friendly, helpful and utterly professional. The controls are superb.
Very smooth and comfortable and perfectly set up for my individual needs.
Thank you so much for such a great service!
Best, Steve
McElmeels done a brilliant job fitting hoist to my Kuga, very professional and helpful people. Credit where it is due, you done a great job and I am very pleased with the quality of the workmanship and the way I was treated will definitely be coming back for future adaptations
Thank you so much to you all for our Car. Thank you Eileen for all your help and efficiency. Also thank you Sean for traveling to Wigan to bring us our Car. It's made taking My Husband out so much easier and he's in no pain when transferring from his chair. Thank you again from the bottom of our heart. X
My Mum loved the car, so it is safe to say we;re definitely going ahead. She was so comfortable and wasn't holding on for dear life despite me having not driven an automatic in over 10 years.
Thank you so much.
Yours sincerely
Thank you very much for all your help in sorting our new vehicle. Throughout the whole process you were the only person who did what they said they would do and rang me when you said you were going to.
Best Wishes
Just wanted to say thank you for speaking with us at the Motability show here in Manchester today. You were the only one who was able to tell us about adaptations suitable for my daughter Rachael, there was no one else as knowledgable as you. You reassured Rachael that she would be able to drive! Thank you, you've made such a difference to us.
With best wishes
Sarah
