Help! I need a wheelchair repair service in Amsterdam

Every so often, travellers visiting Amsterdam send me an urgent message asking for help. Mid-trip, their wheelchair has broken down — a flat tyre, a broken part, a faulty joystick, you name it. They’ve suddenly found themselves in desperate need of a wheelchair repair service in Amsterdam.

Below you will find a list of companies in Amsterdam that provide repair services for wheelchairs, rollators, and other mobility aids. For all of the companies mentioned below, the best way to get in touch is via telephone. Although the automated phone messages are in Dutch, it is completely fine to speak English during the call.
