About this adaptation
Regain your independence and experience effortless vehicle access with the Elap Rotating Car Seat. This innovative manual swivel seat is meticulously designed to enhance mobility, allowing you to smoothly rotate up to 90 degrees outside your vehicle.

Its discreet and compact design ensures no permanent modifications are made to your car's floor, preserving its original condition and allowing for the re-installation of the original seat if ever required.
ELAP Engineering prides itself on delivering bespoke solutions; each rotating car seat is tailored to the specific make and model of your vehicle. This commitment to precision guarantees a perfect fit and optimal functionality, blending seamlessly with your car's aesthetics. Enjoy the freedom and independence that comes with easy and safe vehicle access, all while maintaining the integrity and comfort of your car's interior.

Who is it suitable for?
**Reduced mobility**: Ideal for individuals who experience difficulty or pain when getting into or out of a vehicle, such as those with arthritis, back pain, or general stiffness.
**Easier transfers**: Benefits people who may struggle with the twisting and maneuvering required to enter a standard car seat, including those whose balance is compromised.

Compatibility, fitting & aftercare
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.

“Fitted neatly to the original seat rails. No visible aftermarket look at all. Wish I'd known about this sooner.”

“Lowering function is brilliant — drops to a comfortable height for transferring to my wheelchair. Only minor niggle is the instruction sheet could be a bit clearer.”

“Fitted neatly to the original seat rails. No visible aftermarket look at all. Took the worry out of getting in and out. Worth every penny for the independence it gives. Only minor niggle is the instruction sheet could be a bit clearer.”
