Bargain?! |
Finding that online bargain.
We all like to save money and buying online
is one way; you might think it's the best way
to save a dollar or two. Most if not all of
our service calls are for repairs to brand
new scooters purchased on the internet.
 |
Most
of these online sales companies are
just call centers churning out
orders offering FREE this and FREE
that. Here are some of the great
online offerings and Spin! from some of the
top mobility suppliers. So you've
been enticed by the thought of all
these FREE gifts they want to give
you like cup holder, flag and
armrest pouch now comes to the real
meat of your online purchase, the
Free delivery
|
|
Damaged in Transit |
|
FREE
Delivery...
Actually its Free Curbside delivery,
which is basically the item is dropped
outside by Mr. Delivery person at the
curb for you to drag the unit into
the house to un-box and assemble.
But remember to keep all that
packaging just in case it's damaged , you
don't like the unit or it's smaller than you
anticipated!
But wait all is not lost you can pay for the extra
service of..
Inside Delivery $59.00
(Does not include set-up)
Certified Tech Set-Up (Includes Inside Delivery) $199.00
White Glove Delivery $200.00 (Which you will have to schedule for someone at a
later date)
WOW that online
bargain to save on sales TAX is
starting to mount up already. As the advertisements
always say "But wait! there's more..."
Time for the piece of mind for your purchase
No Worries Service Contracts (that's where
I come in to play)
1-Year In-Home Service $0.00
(mandatory requirement by the manufacture)
2-Year In Home Service $99.00
(Trust me I don't get close to that for
a call out, hmm)
3-Year In Home Service $199.00
(should be called labor
warranty as you wont get your unit serviced
like a car)
Below is a picture of a
brand new scooter purchased from an out of
state online supplier which is exactly the same price we
offer in our store without the added extra
cost of delivery, setup and optional service
expenses etc etc. Now this poor lady
unboxed the item assembled it, plugged it in
to charge it to find that the scooter
wouldn't move. We were called out by this
company to investigate the problem.
I arrived at the customers
home to find one of two of the most common
mistakes made by new scooter owners. The
charger was left plugged into the scooter
and secondly the brake/drive freewheel
lever set in the the freewheel position.
Luckily for this lady who
had just been discharged from the hospital
had forgotten to take out the charger
from the scooter which had triggered the
inhibit mode which stops the scooter driving
off with the charger still attached to the
scooter and the wall (good idea really don't
you think)
After further
inspection of the unit I noticed
the tiller steering was extremely strange
and loose and to my
amazement the lower frame where the tiller
meets the steering and main frame had
completely sheered off both sides. (see
pictures)
Luckily for this lady, if
she had unplugged the charger from the
unit and rode it this could of been a
catastrophic incident and I'm sure more
hospital time!!!
We feel that buying
mobility products such as scooters online is
not the correct way to purchase something
that you have to rely on for your mobility
and if used
incorrectly can cause injury. When
you walk into our store we ask you some
important
question such as where will you be using the
unit the most? Do you suffer with any
balance issues? Will you want to transport
the unit?
Then we move on to how well you fit the
unit?
Some scooters might have a 300 lbs weight
capacity but some of the smaller, more
inexpensive scooters are not meant for
someone who is six foot four with size 11
shoes. Being comfortable and having the
ability to get on and off the scooter with
ease makes a big difference to your purchase
and that's something you don't get the
chance to do by buying online.
'You
can always send the unit back' I hear you
say!
You're correct, but please please please
read the online shipping and returns policy
regarding boxing and returning - something
that can also be costly and take time out of
your day waiting for Mr. Delivery person to
come and throw it back into his truck of
destruction.
But wait there's more don't forget
the 20% re-stocking fee!! There goes that
amazing online deal just melting away! But
at least you'll have a FREE cup holder and
Flag to wave around from your armchair.
Long and short of it all!
Scooters, power wheelchairs, vehicle lifts
and power recliners are not like buying a
pair of socks - they can be expensive and a
costly mistake when you make a wrong
purchase.
Buy once, Buy Right, and Buy local,
Get the right advice, and take a test drive.
- We offer Free Delivery to anywhere
in Las Vegas
- FREE white Glove Service
- FREE set-up and operation and care
instruction
- Up to 2 year manufacture warranty
FREE
- Point of contact LOCALLY if
something goes wrong

Sign of
the Times |
Location Location Location!
We are not fans of busy, blustering shopping
malls and wanted a quieter location for our
customers.
Although parking can be a little crowded
sometimes (due to the other business staff
thinking they are more important than their
customers and feel the need to park right
outside their office door to save their poor
little legs)
usually ample parking
with a disabled stall with ramp are close to the
door but not much use when you block the
ramp!!.
We want our customers to
feel relaxed and be able to test drive our
products without the
fear of being run over by traffic and also a
place where we can install lifts on site, so
we chose Pepper Lane for our home.
After many months since
we've moved to our new show room we have
finally got around to putting up our store
sign on the building. With us not being on a
main street some of our customers were
finding it difficult to pin-point our
location. With our new building sign we hope
this will help guide people easily to our
door.
In the past we had two
road signs to help guide people with
location but with
one of them being made of metal the
"scrappers" think it's fair game to steal it
in broad daylight to make a dollar! Good job
we have security cameras and we
know exactly who this person is and what
they drive.
In the next few weeks we
will be erecting a new entrance sign on
pepper lane (not made of metal) to replace
the one that was stolen.
Alvi baking in the Las Vegas Midday Sun - poor fella! |

Lifts and
Compatibility |
We are seeing more
customer being misinformed when purchasing a
new vehicle with regards to transporting
their scooter or Power Wheelchair.
If you already have a scooter or Power
Wheelchair and are looking to purchase a new
vehicle to aid with transport please
contact us first. Please be aware that
buying a vehicle on the premises that its
capable of towing doesn't necessarily mean
the vehicle has sufficient *tongue capacity
to carry the weight of the lift and
scooter/power chair. Please do not
just rely on the car salesman's word that
the vehicle is capable of such extra weight
added to the rear of the vehicle without
them doing the proper checks first as we
have seen this can be a costly mistake.
There are two different ratings a vehicle
has with regards to **towing capacity and
*tongue weight. These different ratings
given by the manufacture have two different
purposes. Most manufactures supply the
tongue and towing weight capacity in your
cars owners manual.
*Tongue weight:
This is the maximum rated weight capacity
the the manufacture recommends that the car
tow hitch fitted to the vehicle is rated
for. The tongue weight figure accounts for
the maximum allowed downward weight allowed
by the frame support, suspension, braking,
cooling system and transmission. Even if you
fit a 500 lbs. rated tow hitch to your
vehicle doesn't mean that the car can
support such weight without extra
modification to the above.
**Towing capacity:
This is the maximum rated weight that can be
towed via trailer supported by an axel
behind the vehicle. This weight also takes
in to account frame support, suspension,
braking, cooling system and transmission.

Moving
Along |
All the framing work and
drywall is now completed,
the walls are
all painted and
the old flooring
is removed and we're just waiting on the the new flooring to
be put down. After that is completed we can
then start to install all the
store fixtures ready for the big move
in. We're
hopefully looking to be in and set up for
the first week of July, who knows may be
even the 4th of July??
BIG thanks again to JJ our
sales rep and his boss Ray who came all the
way from PA to visit us last week. They took
a look at the new space and brought us some
promotional material posters and other
goodies for the new store.
We
are also
currently working with our new neighbors
across the street
Design One Printing on Pecos Road, we
have a new
designed new logo which we are currently
finalizing for our outside store signage.
We are both excited about or
move and can't wait to welcome in our new
and old customers to our new home. Also our
customers will be glad to know our new
showroom is right next to the disabled
parking ramp reducing the time you have to
spend in this Vegas heat!

Demolition
begins |
Our landlord,s building
manager John had a vision for us at our new
location at Suite #108 on 3340 Pepper Lane.
Of course we were apprehensive (due to a
bigger space) and we couldn't quite see the
vision at first. But now after seeing the
demolition work that has started we can now
understand what John was seeing.
The first stage of opening up
the space of #108 has started and we are
shocked by how much room removing the walls
has given us. It's going to look awesome!
We will have over 750
square feet of open showroom floor space
instead of segregated offices with scooters
in each room. We will also have a dedicated
230 square feet of parts, service and repair
shop all in one
room instead of having to run next door,
climb over all our rental scooters to get
tools and do repairs.
We have also acquired an
extra 900 square feet of warehouse space for
our collection of parts and rental scooters.
Check back here to see how
the new showroom progresses... |

Meeting
our goals! |
Since we started our little
business over four years ago in a corner of
a warehouse with three scooters we have had
the vision to give
Las Vegas
the best customer service and offer the
largest selection of mobility scooters with
service and support to match. Showroom space
has always been our top feedback from our
customer and as always we listen and take
action.
Just being the two of us
(husband and wife) for the past year and a
half with the help of our suppliers we have
been pushing forward to increase our
presence and sales to help us move forward
and reach our goals without compromising our
customer service and core values of our
company.
Even though it
wasn't our first choice of location,
after working with our Landlord Shaun and
his building manager John we have finally
made a deal to increase our space from 600
square feet to 1600 square feet with an
additional 1000 square feet of extra space
to expand when we need it.
We are staying in the same
location and building on Pepper Lane and
will be moving to suite 108 after some
construction work is completed. With help
from Pride and our sales reps Ryan and JJ
who will be sending us plenty of updated
material for the new showroom keep us and
and our customer up to date with what the
market larders pride have to offer.
We will be posting here
some updates of the progress of the move and
we are looking to be in the new showroom by
the end of June 2018
More to follow... |

Jazzy ZT Zero Turn
UPDATE
|
The new JazzyZT is proving to
be a hit with our customers as we cant keep
 this
great unit on our showroom floor long enough
before its sold. We have now decided to
ordered two more units so we can always have
one available to demo.
With its innovative duel
motor, and tight turn front wheel design the
JazzyZT gives this scooter a three wheel
tight turn style steering on
a four wheel
stability
platform. The two independent motors at the
rear detect that the steering has been put
into a tight left or right turn and just
like a power wheelchair one motor will
operate independent from the other to assist
in turning the scooter round tight corners
and doorways.

Stander, Golden and Pride Mobility this

fantastic prototype upgrades for Pride
mobility scooters and lifts featuring an all
new look Victory line, the New Outlander 2.0
and from Jazzy the new and improved Jazzy

scooters at a good cost to us. This now
gives us the full range of Go-Go travel
scooters, Jazzy ZT and Victory 10 LX with
CTS suspension.
We also gave the Pride
Mobility R and D team some feedback from our

More Room
to Maneuver |
Even though we are still
looking to increase our store floor space we
have moved our large size scooters and power
wheelchairs to a dedicated show room. This
give us more floor space to better display,
demo and introduce more products
that are available. We believe we have one of the
biggest display and selection of Pride
Mobility Scooter Products here in Las Vegas.
With the up and coming
Las Vegas
MedTrade show
in March we anticipate buying more products
from different manufactures to bring to our
showroom so we can give our customer the
choice of what's available on the market. |

Happy New
Year |
2017 was a great year for us
here at LVSL and we got to meet (again) some
great new customers and helped out some
visitors to our beautiful city of Las Vegas.
We also introduction of some
great new products from Pride mobility such
as the Jazzy ZT, Pride Raptor and some other
great updated features to some of our
existing scooter line. We introduced our
online scooter rental booking system to help
us automate our rentals, saving us time and
still being able to accommodate and help our
walk-in scooter customers with sales, parts,
advice and repairs.
Who knows what 2018 will
bring?
We're looking forward to the 2018 MedTrade
show in March and hopefully see some more
new products and suppliers so we can feature
them in our showroom.
Space is a premium!
Hopefully in 2018 we plan to expand as
much as we can to our modest showroom so we
can bring our customers more choice on the
showroom floor and not just a specification
sheet and a picture, so watch this space. |
