We always strive to provide a fast turn-around on any repairs and keep costs to a minimum. Whether you require a service, need replacement parts or just are just seeking some professional advice, we’re here to help!

Home Service

If you are not able to bring your product to us, we offer home service call outs. Our service technicians are available to come out to your home to repair a range of products including mobility scooters, power wheelchairs, lift chairs, patient hoists or electric beds (a standard call out fee applies). Please note this service is only available on the mid-coast of NSW.

Available Parts

We stock a huge range of products, but try to keep stock of the most commonly requested parts to keep you up and running. The most common parts include: batteries, chargers, tyres and tubes are sourced from a range of leading manufacturers. We selectively source our range, focusing on products from the established and reputable Australian and International companies in the industry so that we can ensure that replacement parts are readily available for many years.

Test 'n' Tag

Vital Living technicians are fully trained and qualified to undertake electrical safety testing and tagging of mains voltage appliances in accordance with:

AS/NZS 3760-2010 In-Service Safety Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment.

Upon request, we can provide detailed equipment reports to satisfy your accreditation criteria and ensure compliance with government legislative requirements. 

Powered Mobility:

Breakdown Assistance

Unfortunately we are not available 24 hours a day - our technicians are available Mon-Fri 8:30am-5pm. If you are concerned about what would happen if your powered mobility product ran out of batteries, suffered a breakdown or got a flat tyre, then we would recommend that you consider breakdown cover. Some manufacturers also now offer free breakdown cover for 14 months with their mobility scooters - please ask one of our consultants for details.

Preventative Maintenance:

Most manufacturers recommend a service every year for powered mobility products. Though it depends to some extent on usage levels, our recommendation is every year. Basic services can be carried out within approximately 1 hour. Major or specific fault services may require more time. Our technicians are trained in both electronics and mechanics.

Users primarily need to ensure that they keep their products well charged, maintain the correct tyre pressure and use them according to their purpose.

Upon request we can provide facilities with a scheduled maintenance plan to assist with meeting accreditation criteria and maintain the serviceability of equipment.
