Find out how SDL can help fit driving adaptations to vehicles of varying sizes and shapes.

Adapted vehicles of every size and shape at the Steering Developments workshop

As experts in vehicle adaptations and conversions, Steering Developments often get unusual requests. In fact, we''re known for being able to achieve mobility solutions that other providers just don''t have the skills or experience to create.

We get asked a lot if you need to drive a specific type of vehicle in order to have driving adaptations fitted, and we''re happy to say that the answer is a resounding no. We''ve worked on vehicles of every conceivable size and shape – needing driving aids shouldn''t mean you can''t drive the car you love, whether that''s a Mini or a luxury vehicle like a Rolls Royce…

That''s right, we work on luxury vehicles too – we''ve even had Ferraris grace our workshop. If you own a luxury vehicle, you should always talk to your mobility provider, to ensure they have the skills and experience to work with something a little bit out of the ordinary – you need to know that they''ll be able to work on your car without causing any issues.

Whatever car you drive, we can help you find the best aids and controls to suit your individual needs. We''ve got extensive experience with all the different hand controls, foot controls and other supporting aids, so you know you''ll get the right combination of solutions.

Making the interior work for you, while protecting the car''s style and integrity, is important. No matter what you drive, you need to be able to manoeuvre safely and still enjoy the driving experience.

We don''t just work on new, luxury vehicles of course. We''re known for adaptations and conversions on pretty much every vehicle type, including vans, estates, hatchbacks and everything in between. Conversions typically require a little more space than adaptations, so fitting a fully assembled wheelchair needs a vehicle that offers a safe, comfortable ride.

We''re happy to talk to you about your existing vehicle and how we can help you meet your driving needs. Don''t feel like you have to choose a "sensible" vehicle just because you need driving aids, you''d be amazed what we can make accessible.
