Pamela is a power-chair user, and has been for over 30 years. In that time she has owned many chairs, and experienced the repair nightmare ''many'' times. Somewhere along the line, she found that some of the issues could be repaired at local shops faster, cheaper, and with a lot less stress. The ones that couldn't be repaired at the local bike shop (or other local non-wheelchair specialist) were usually due to the broken part being customized - unique to that brand and model of chair. | Pamela is a power-chair user, and has been for over 30 years.
