AMS Vans Conversion Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Adaptive Mobility Systems, Inc. (AMS) can modify or convert any minivan from a 1996 model through the current year model Chrysler Town and Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, Plymouth Grand Voyager or Volkswagen Routan.

The conversion process takes approximately 3-4 weeks. AMS Vans, Inc. keeps a huge inventory of finished wheelchair vans that are ready for immediate nationwide delivery. If you select a mobility van from our finished inventory list and the necessary funds are available to pay for the handicap accessible van, we can usually ship it to you within 1-5 days. The only limitation to this is for our west coast mobility customers. We personally deliver every van; therefore, it can take up to two weeks for west coast residents to receive wheelchair vehicles from AMS Vans, Inc.

NO! Too often, people visit their local auto dealership and buy a car or van the salesperson recommends without considering whether or not it can be modified for their needs. The auto salesperson may think he has the best vehicle on the market to convert, however they usually don't understand your special needs as well as an adaptive equipment distributor. In addition to knowing which vehicles are most easily modified, we have arrangements with several dealers and know where to shop for the best buys. We recommend contacting us before you purchase any vehicle so we can help determine which vehicle AMS can modify to best meet your mobility needs. Call AMS Vans, Inc. now at 1.888.880.8267!
