Credentials

Check every word of it yourself.

The only wheelchair accessible vehicle dealer in BC that is also a Transport Canada authorized vehicle manufacturer. Each credential below links straight to the registry that issued it, so you can confirm every one without taking our word for anything.

  • Transport Canada National Safety Mark L43

What this is for

It isn't medical equipment.
It's a Saturday.

Swimming. The grocery run. Appointments without booking anyone.

Three questions, before any van

  • Who loads the chair, and can they do it in the rain?
  • Is the wheelchair user going to drive, or ride?
  • Where does the van park, every single day?

Everything was so well organized and smooth it made the transaction completely enjoyable. The people were great, they went over the top for us and the van was exactly what we had hoped it to be.

Sidewinder went well beyond the service delivery that would be expected. They were always available and prompt whenever we emailed or called. I would recommend them highly to anyone in need of a conversion.

Contact

Talk to someone who knows these vans.

Come by the shop and bring your chair, or just start with a phone call. Either way you'll be talking to someone who can answer the question instead of taking a message.

A person here reads every one of these. We reply within one business day, Monday to Friday.

Not sure how you'll pay for it? Three BC programs are worth claiming, and we'll help you claim them.

The money

What the BC funding actually covers

Three programs are worth claiming almost every time. One is a credit on your tax return. One is a discount on your insurance. One is a refund on fuel. None of them is money off the purchase price, and we'd rather you heard that from us first.

The tax figure is a cap on what you are allowed to claim, not a cheque. What it is worth in hand depends on the tax you owe.
