Why us

We build them, so we can fix them.

Transport Canada authorises us to build and certify disabled access vehicles under National Safety Mark L43. The lowered floor, the ramp and the tiedowns were cut, fitted and signed off in this building.

What we do

Everything the vehicle needs, in one place.

Not sure if it's the conversion or the van? Describe it and we'll work it out.

  • Mobility equipment service & repair

    Worked on by the crew who fit it in the first place.

  • Ramps, lifts & securement

    In-floor and foldout ramps, stowage lifts, tiedowns, docking.

  • Oil changes & scheduled maintenance

    Van and conversion, same visit.

  • Brake service & tune-ups

    A conversion adds weight. Brakes matter more, not less.

  • Mechanical repairs & exhaust

    In a shop that knows what the conversion changed underneath.

  • Minor body work & paint

    Including the openings a conversion cuts into.

Why it matters

A converted van isn't a stock van.

Your garage can do the brakes. They rarely see a lowered floor or a ramp built into one, so a conversion fault takes hours to find, and you pay for those hours.

“If you see us more for small things, you won't have to see us much for big things.”

Warranty

The headline and the terms, on the same page.

New Sidewinder accessible minivan conversions carry a limited comprehensive warranty, serviced at any of our authorised facilities across Canada and the US.

What it does not cover

  • Routine maintenance, neglect, abuse, misuse, and man-made or natural disaster.
  • Unauthorised service, or repairs carried out somewhere other than an authorised facility.
  • Unauthorised alterations or modifications to the conversion, which void the warranty outright.

Short version: call us before anyone else opens up the conversion.

Your factory warranty stays intact

A new vehicle keeps its factory warranty on every unmodified component, and that work can go to your dealership. Ask them to call us first.

A pre-owned vehicle may still carry a balance of its factory warranty, depending on age and mileage. We convert Dodge, Chrysler, Honda and Toyota.

The full warranty terms come with the vehicle.

The brands we install are the brands we service.

Parts, adjustment and repair all stay in this building.

Talk to someone who knows these vans.

Come by the shop and bring your chair, or just start with a phone call. Either way you'll be talking to someone who can answer the question instead of taking a message.

A person here reads every one of these. We reply within one business day, Monday to Friday.
