Q&A with Jeff Gosling
To further clarify the process of vehicle adaptations, we sat down to address some of the most common questions customers have about Jeff Gosling’s services and products:
Q: Can I have adaptations fitted to any vehicle?
A: Jeff Gosling products can be tailored to fit a wide range of makes and models, but they would always recommend checking the current availability for your preferred vehicle. They strongly recommend automatic vehicles for most adaptations. If you have specific vehicle requirements, contact their team to discuss available options.
Q: Will the adaptations damage my vehicle?
A: Safety and integrity are priorities for Jeff Gosling. Any drilling or alterations made during installation are kept to a minimum, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing result with minimal cost to reinstate the vehicle if adaptations are removed.
Q: Are the products covered by a warranty?
A: Yes, all Jeff Gosling adaptations come with a full 3-year parts and labour warranty. If you encounter any issues, contact your installer or the Jeff Gosling team for support.
Q: Can other drivers still use my vehicle after adaptations are fitted?
A: Absolutely. Many of their adaptations, such as hand controls, do not interfere with the vehicle’s standard controls, allowing multiple drivers to use the vehicle safely.
Q: How do I know which adaptation is right for me?
A: Jeff Gosling offers a Customer Requirements Compatibility Checklist to help assess your needs. You can also book a driving assessment or product demonstration to find the most suitable adaptation. Their experienced customer service team are also available to discuss your requirements with you.
Solutions for Every Driver
Jeff Gosling understands that every driver is unique, which is why they offer a broad range of vehicle adaptations to suit different needs. Here are some of their key products:
Hand Controls:
Jeff Gosling’s market-leading push/pull brake/accelerator hand controls are designed for those who cannot use the foot pedals. These hand controls offer a smooth, responsive operation with minimal resistance, allowing you to drive comfortably and confidently. Each control is tailored to fit your specific vehicle, providing an experience that closely replicates the feel of conventional pedals. Plus, their patented protective guard enhances safety without compromising the aesthetics of your car.
Left Foot Accelerators:
For drivers who cannot use their right foot, left-foot accelerators are engineered to mimic the standard driving experience. Whether your vehicle requires a Twin Folding or Electric Left Foot Accelerator, you’ll enjoy a driving experience that feels natural and comfortable. This adaptation allows you to easily switch between driving with your left or right foot, providing flexibility for vehicles with multiple drivers.
Steering Aids:
Jeff Gosling’s range of steering aids, including the steering ball, peg, and tetra grip, are designed to reduce the effort required for one-handed steering or for those with limited arm strength. Each aid features a quick-release mechanism for easy use and adjustment, providing greater control and a safer driving experience. Steering aids can be used on their own or alongside hand controls and other adaptations.
Additional Adaptations:
Jeff Gosling also offers a variety of ancillary products to further enhance your driving experience:
- Hinged Accelerator Pedals: Create more space in the footwell for a more comfortable driving position when driving with a hand control.
- Pedal Guards: Prevent accidental operation of the accelerator, ensuring safer use of hand controls.
- Remote Control Devices: Easily operate secondary vehicle functions, such as indicators and headlights, using a wireless keypad mounted on the steering wheel.
Expert Installation and Support Across the UK
With a network of over 70 fully trained installers, Jeff Gosling ensures that your adaptations are professionally fitted to suit your specific vehicle. They offer on-site installations at dealerships or your home address if you’re within a 60-mile radius of their workshop in Greater Manchester. If you’re further away, they’ll connect you with your local installer for a seamless installation experience.
What Funding Options Are Available?
Jeff Gosling understands that cost is an important factor. Many of their products are available to Motability Scheme customers, with some adaptations heavily subsidised to reduce customer contributions. For privately owned vehicles, they offer VAT-free invoicing for disabled customers. Additionally, you may be eligible for grants from programs like Access to Work or the Motability Foundation to help with the costs. Contact their team for more details on pricing and funding options.
How to Order Your Adaptation
To get started, you can speak with a member of the Jeff Gosling team to discuss your needs and schedule an installation. For Motability Scheme vehicles, the order must be placed through the Motability system by your dealership to ensure any subsidies and correct insurance cover. If you’re adapting a privately owned vehicle, reach out to them directly for a quote and to find your nearest installer.
