Great post, thank you!
I also recommend people to contact first the wheelchair manufacturer but on many occasions, an emergency repair is necessary or it can be done only on origin country.
I know Saito Kobo, it’s great! They solved all the problems I had with my Brazilian wheelchair and also ended buying one with them. I recommend.
I will check more about others. Thanks!
