Beware of Stair Lift Scams: How to Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones
At Access, we believe no one should be taken advantage of—especially seniors who rely on accessibility equipment to stay safe and independent in their own homes. Unfortunately, we’re seeing a growing number of cases where dishonest companies are charging outrageous prices for low-quality stair lifts, leaving customers frustrated, overcharged, and sometimes without proper service.
A Recent Example That Shocked Us
In Central Illinois, a company called Leaf Mobility Systems went door-to-door telling seniors that if they purchased a stair lift from a competitor, it would cost $20,000 or more. They then claimed they could offer one “today only” for $8,000.
When one of those customers heard our ad and called for a second opinion, we provided a written quote for a better quality lift—for just $3,200.
That’s not just a savings—it’s avoiding being overcharged by thousands of dollars for inferior equipment.
Why This Matters
Unfortunately, this isn’t an isolated case. Every week, we meet people who have purchased overpriced lifts that break down, can’t be serviced, or require full replacement. Because reputable dealers like Access Elevator work directly with manufacturers, we can ensure ongoing service and parts availability—something many of these “pop-up” companies simply cannot offer.
