Excellent service. Scooter needed repair. It had been driven into a kerb. I asked in ableworld what was the best way to get it repaired. As we had insurance, they phoned the insurer who called me that afternoon to arrange collection. They Mended the damage and returned the repaired scooter. No issues at all

A company I have trusted for many years. A phone line that you can speak to a person very quickly who will help you enormously with anything you need to ask and will call you back.

Delay in CareCo telling MB that my powerchair had been delivered. CareCo asked me to contact MB direct. MB had no knowledge of my insurance, gave me immediate cover, free, for a month while they checked the situation. Later the same day I had details of my 'free' insurance and starting immediately after the month my two year policy started, Effectively I have an extra month for free. First class customer service from MB, not so sure about CareCo. Thoroughly recommend MB at this point in my experience.
