What is the saving technique by remodeling a welfare vehicle?
Since used welfare vehicles are generally used carefully, it has the advantage of being better than ordinary vehicles of the same model year distance. Welfare vehicle Yamashita Auto can also maintain the modified parts of the welfare vehicle, so when you purchase a used car, we also inspect and repair the parts related to the wheelchair.
Unfortunately, there is no cheap way to get modified parts for welfare vehicles. One of the reasons is that most of the above retrofitted parts can be relocated and installed in a new transfer car.
Therefore, one way to buy a welfare vehicle at a low price is to buy a used welfare vehicle.
