Who is it suitable for?

**Lower Limb Mobility Limitations**: This product is ideal for individuals who experience reduced or absent mobility in their legs or feet, making traditional pedal operation difficult or impossible. It enables safe and independent driving by transferring acceleration and braking functions to the hand.

**Ability to Use Left Hand and Arm**: Users will need sufficient strength, dexterity, and range of motion in their left hand and arm to comfortably operate the hand controls for acceleration and braking. The intuitive design aims to make this as effortless as possible.

**Automatic Transmission Vehicles**: This adaptation is specifically designed for vehicles with an automatic transmission, as it replaces the need for foot-operated pedals. It is not suitable for manual transmission vehicles.

Why prices are quoted for your vehicle

Modern cars differ a lot — steering systems, electronics, airbags, dashboards and mounting points. What fits one model may need different parts, programming or labour on another. The figures on this page are a starting point for supplied & fitted work; we confirm a firm price once we know your make, model and year, and have checked compatibility.

Workshop fitting vs mobile

Most adaptations are fitted at our Heathrow or Ferndown workshops, where we have the tools, lifts and diagnostic equipment to do the job properly. Some simpler fittings can still be done at your home or a dealership when the product and vehicle allow — we'll say so when we quote. We never force a mobile fit where workshop conditions are safer or required by the manufacturer.

Area we cover

We focus on local service from our two workshops — roughly within about 30 miles of Heathrow (West Drayton) and about 60 miles of Ferndown (Wimborne). Collection and return of your vehicle, home visits and mobile work (where suitable) sit inside those bands. Outside the area you can usually still bring the vehicle to us, or ask about options when you request a quote.

  • First class job. Fitted to a Nissan Qashqai. The bracketry is properly engineered, nothing rattles, brake feel is identical to the original pedal. These are excellent. Took an hour or so to get used to the action but now I wouldn't go back. Very intuitive once you've done a few miles.

  • Quality is obvious as soon as you use them. No play in the linkages, brake bites exactly when you expect. Properly made in the UK. Was nervous before fitting but the fitter explained everything. Drove away the same day and I've not looked back. Worth every penny.
