GOAT is now co-hosting monthly wheelchair maintenance workshops along with Vince Lopez from ILRCSF!
Our first Tune Up Tuesday will be held at the ILRCSF office.
When: Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2:30pm – 4:30pm
Where: ILRCSF, 825 Howard St, San Francisco
Register: Contact Vince, 415-609-2555 or vincent@ilrcsf.org
We can inspect your mobility device together, talk about anything about your chair that is causing you trouble, do some basic maintenance, teach you preventative maintenance, and share free tools and materials.
Users of manual wheelchairs, powerchair, scooter, rollators, and other mobility equipment, and their friends and family, are welcome to drop by!
We can also help you to find the service manual and user manual for your own device, and get it to you in a paper or an electronic copy.
GOAT has free mini-toolkits to give out along with a short guide on San Francisco repair, DIY, and assistive tech resources!
A longer guide covering wheelchair repair in the larger San Francisco Bay Area is updated regularly by the Center for Independent Living’s tech staff.
We also often have free accessories like cargo nets, headlights, bags or pouches, and so on. And we’re happy to work with you to improve what you have now, so that it meets your needs.
Finally, if you are interested in learning wheelchair maintenance and repair, either to support yourself and friends, or as a possible career, come by and help out as a volunteer!
Our March Tune up Tuesday will be hosted at the Disability Cultural Center. We plan to host it there regularly!
