Apalling service don't buy from these people
My mother ordered a scooter from the Acacia Ridge store. She had a demonstration on December 20th 2018 and ordered it and did not get her mobility scooter until June. She received no notice of delivery so was not there when it arrived. It was not set up. After repeated phone calls an appointment was made on 1 August which she had to cancel due to unexpected surgery. She was advised a new appointment would be made to set up and show her how to use it. A follow-up phone about 3 weeks ago and again she was assured an appointment would be made. Apologies were offered for the terrible service. Nothing has occurred since this time. I will be taking the matter up with the Office of Fair Trading.

Service is disgusting
ACACIA RIDGE: Abysmal phone service and maintenance services with promises to call back and then no one does. I've had to ring 7 times to chase this matter up over 3 weeks now. Phone calls are not returned.
Mechanic finally comes Monday. He fixed it only for it to break again with the same thing 2 days later. Another phone call back for him to come back and another 2 days waiting for someone to call. I ring again mid afternoon Tuesday to be told someone will ring me back and I said no I will sit and wait for someone to talk with me now. I waite...Read more

Unethical Company, deceitful and dishonest. Their reputation on Seek is deserving.
I went to the Brunswick head office for an interview. They are currently advertising for Technicians. They advertised the job at a certain salary, but when I arrived and interviewed I found them to be including a company vehicle in the salary and paying a dismal wage as a result. Even though I specifically told the job agency I wasn't interested in poor wages, they still mislead me and I drove 3 hours return for this interview. A disgusting way to deal with anyone and I hope your company treats it's customers better than it's staff.

Terrible Service
This store (Toowoomba) seems to be one of those businesses that sees the NDIS as a cash cow.
My OT ordered on my behalf a motorized scooter, memory foam mattress topper and walking stick and that is when the trouble started.
On the first attempt to deliver the topper and stick it was discovered that the items were not what we ordered and hen this company was informed they tried to spin the blame back on me the customer.
5 weeks later the proper items where delivered after we continually chased them as they made no attempt to keep us informed...Read more

AIDACARE Poor service and paid in full before they complete or supply - don't know their job- never
A $15,000++ electric wheelchair from Aidacare and we have issues with charging the batteries and they refuse to rectify the problem saying it is not their problem but the manufacturer but the manufacturer says it is the retailers responsibility to fix the issue for the retailers customer.
When they supplied the chair they were supposed to supply clamps to hold the seat. The retailer didn't bring the clips and took them off my manual wheelchair. Aidacare latter brought only two of the clamps for a four clamp seat. Very disappointed.
The ch...Read more
air itself is poorly designed and the steering is not intuitive - it can't be easily reversed - very poor design. Because the agent could not manoeuvre the wheelchair we requested a steering lock which Aidacre did not fit and they latter wanted to charge $959 instead of the original $670 quoted QTE000268144. The manager has been rude and abrupt not wanting to make the required changes and seems happy the chair will run for only an hour per charge where it should get 20km to 25km (2 to 2.5 hours of running). The charger can not complete a charge and while the local agent wanted to fix the issue, the manager wants it dropped. The matter was taken to fair trading and Aidacre refused to co-operate. Next viable option is the Magistrates Court. Do not deal with these people - they are not familiar with their product, the agent that tried to fit the chair couldn't do it properly and they are in no hurry to do the right thing.Similar opinion?

They came to my assistance.
The staff at Kings Meadows Aidacare in Tasmania went out of their way to ensure my needs were met.
The service I received was professional caring and efficient and I would highly recommend the staff and management.

Aidacare - Great service
I guess people who've been let down have a greater incentive to write a review, but every now and again you meet with great service that definitely deserves a very positive review.
A family member who is a long time wheelchair user needs a replacement for an ageing electric wheelchair and was having enormous trouble finding a suitable one, because of very specific needs. Fortunately Aidacare in Adelaide offer a magnificent service where their OT Lorien will bring a demo wheelchair to the home to check its suitability where it is likely to be used most. Lorien visited for two hours and was enormously thorough and practical. The result is a specification that is ideal.

great compact electric wheelchair The B400 is a German-made prescription electric wheelchair. It's a range of similar wheelchairs, based on pages of options. A specialist OT prescribes your particular wheelchair from these options in consultation with you. We went to Aidacare in Adelaide and were very pleased with the service; see the separate review Aidacare – great service.A year later the service by Aidacare still stands out above the rest and this particular Otto Bock B400 has been life-changing. Because of its speed and compactness, it has proved to be a great allrounder.

Great resolution
After my previous review regarding my frustration with my and my OT’s after sales dealings regarding a second cushion covers not received I have great news.
I was contacted by head office who went through the process that should have been undertaken initially and I finally have my cover.
While you can’t always rely on having great staff interactions I am very impressed with the follow up and resolution that ultimately occurred.
I now say give aidacare a go

Worst customer experience ever in my entire life
I rented a wheelchair for my mother in law for two weeks. The people on the phone were gruff, the people in the warehouse took 20minutes to serve us even though they said it would be ready at a particular time and nearly one hour to return it. Despite complaining there was no acknowledgement of their negligence. The actual product was good but if you can find somewhere else, go there!
