Wheelchair consolidation underscores Colorado Right to Repair victory

Wheelchair users say this means longer wait times and poor quality service. When you rely on a powered wheelchair for mobility, any faulty or delayed repair has dangerous consequences. This underscores the importance of Colorado’s Wheelchair Right to Repair victory.
