Can you please tell us the type and make of your wheelchair?
Hello Josh, thanks for getting back to me. It’s a magic mobility frontier v6 all terrain
Abilities is a company that deals with import wheelchairs and has a shop in Hiroshima. They are your best bet but likely don’t have English speaking staff, so best to get your hotel to call. Here is their info:
Thanks heaps Josh, I will contact them soon
@Josh: my permobil is dead and I need a repair company. Staying in Ginza. I called permobil tokyo and they cannot come by until Friday.
Any other repair shops you know of?
My flight is tomorrow but seems like I’ll need to stay longer.
Thanks.
Unfortunately I think they are the only authorized repair shop for Permobil… Instead of changing your flight and being stuck in your hotel room, maybe it is best to put it in manual mode and push it to a wheelchair taxi? Then you can have your local shop repair it.
Thank you so much for your reply Josh. Good news is Permobil tech support got back to us and we were able to recalibrate the chair with their direction.
Challenging at times but great country. Until next time Japan!
Great to hear! Also glad that you enjoyed the trip despite the challenges!
Safe travels home
