CJ Barnes sold us a stair lift for a tricky staircase. She did a very good sales job. Unfortunately, the execution did not match the promises. First, the crew shows up to install the lift but doesn’t have a part they need, so we reschedule. Next time, again - missing parts. Third time, they got it installed. They gave us a $350 gift card for the inconvenience. Problem is, the installation was done incorrectly. First problem, the chair wouldn’t dock properly and the unit started beeping. We couldn’t get it to stop and couldn’t get anyone to respond for over 24 hours. Later found out it was cause by a defect with no fix - though they finally did show us how to stop the beeping if it happened again. Also, the foot rest didn’t operate properly so you went up and down with your feet dangling. CJ told be this was how the unit worked. Also the seat belt broke and we were not given the remotes that go with the unit. Finally; after several months of back and forth, the unit is working properly. I asked for additional consideration and got an extra year of service. We spent almost $17k and did not get the level of professionalism you would expect at that price point. I just cannot recommend this company. There were just too many problems.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry for the issues you've experienced and the inconvenience. Some parts were initially missing because we did not receive a box from the manufacturer. We provided you with a $350 gift card for the delays, as you mentioned. We do not offer emergency service, but our team always does its best to respond to any service calls as soon as we possibly can, typically within 24-48 hours. We apologize for not initially providing the programmed remotes and the seat belt issue. However, one of our lead techs did come back out a couple more times to provide the remotes and fix the remaining issues. While it did take longer than expected, everything has been addressed, and the stair lift is working properly, which you told us you were satisfied with. If there are any additional questions or concerns, please contact us directly. Thank you for choosing Lifeway Mobility
