How to Find Affordable Wheelchairs Without Sacrificing Quality

Finding the right wheelchair at a price that fits your budget doesn't have to be complicated. Whether you need a manual chair for occasional use or a power wheelchair for daily mobility, R & S Surgical and Mobility in New Jersey has been helping customers access quality wheelchairs at competitive prices for over twenty years.

In this guide, we'll share practical strategies to find wheelchairs that meet your mobility needs without breaking the bank.

Understanding Wheelchair Costs

Before shopping for a wheelchair, it helps to understand what affects pricing:

• Type of Wheelchair: Manual wheelchairs typically cost less than power wheelchairs. Basic manual models start around $100-$500, while power wheelchairs often range from $1,500 to $4,000 or more.

• Features and Customization: Specialized seating, adjustable components, and added accessories increase the price.

• New vs. Used: Pre-owned wheelchairs offer significant savings, sometimes 40-60% less than new models, when purchased from reputable sellers.

  
  

Smart Strategies to Save Money on Wheelchairs

Consider High-Quality Used Wheelchairs

Buying used doesn't mean settling for poor quality. Many pre-owned wheelchairs have minimal wear and years of reliable use remaining. R & S Surgical and Mobility occasionally sells used power mobility equipment that has been thoroughly evaluated and serviced.

When buying used, check for frame integrity, tire condition, battery life (for power models), and working brakes.

Work with Local Mobility Specialists

Local mobility specialists in New Jersey provide personalized service that saves you money in the long run. Owner Robert Schmidt at R & S Surgical and Mobility evaluates your specific needs and recommends solutions that match both your mobility requirements and budget.

Benefits include in-home consultations, expert guidance, direct communication with the owner, and faster delivery in days instead of months.

Skip Insurance and Pay Direct

While insurance coverage sounds appealing, the process can take months. Direct purchase from providers like R & S Surgical and Mobility means competitive pricing, no waiting for approvals, and getting your wheelchair in days with clear, upfront costs.

Rent Before You Buy

Short-term rentals help you test different wheelchair models before making a major purchase. This is particularly valuable if you're recovering from surgery, want to try a power wheelchair first, or need one for vacation.

Maintaining Your Wheelchair

Quality wheelchairs last for years when properly maintained. Regular service prevents expensive repairs and extends equipment life.

Keep tires properly inflated, clean and lubricate moving parts, charge batteries regularly, and inspect brakes monthly. Professional servicing catches potential problems early. R & S Surgical and Mobility provides in-home repair service throughout Ocean County and Monmouth County, with most repairs taking less than an hour.

Questions to Ask Before Purchasing

1. What warranty or guarantee comes with the wheelchair?

2. Is in-home service available if repairs are needed?

3. Can the wheelchair be customized as my needs change?

4. Are replacement parts readily available?

5. Does the seller service this brand and model?
