The freedom and independence that driving brings cannot be overstated, especially for someone like me, a C5-C6 quadriplegic. For the past 40 years I have been driving with hand controls. Recently, I discovered a feature in my van, introduced and installed by Universal Motion, that has significantly enhanced my driving experience.
A wheelchair accessible vehicle, also known as a WAV, is a specialized vehicle designed to accommodate individuals with mobility challenges.

Customer Stories
In 2009, Samantha met Marco at the event, People in Motion. However, it was not until 2017, when Samantha and Stuart’s van, a 2006 Chevy Uplander, required servicing that the couple turned to Universal Motion for assistance.
As a young man, in 1978, driven by this ambition of a new beginning, Martin relocated to Toronto, Canada. Adjusting to life in a new country, far away from loved ones, presented challenges for Martin. Despite these hurdles, it was his lost sense of independence that he missed the most.
As a result of his accident, Brendan endured multiple surgeries and years of extensive rehabilitation. It impacted Brendan’s mobility, independence, and ability to do daily activities.
