More Than Mobility Equipment
We offer mobility services & solutions that help you keep moving with ease.
OUR STORY
Ali Shamei started Wheelchair Works in his garage on March 28, 2017.
For our first years, Ali operated as a one-man mobile service, driving across the Fraser Valley to meet clients where they lived.
He was the “wheelchair guy” who showed up with a smile, the right equipment, and the knowledge to help.
OUR STORY
On January 1, 2020, we moved into our first Abbotsford location.
That same year, we brought Lalita on board as our first hire.
She helped us build the customer-first culture that defines how we work today, and remains an integral part of Wheelchair Works.
OUR STORY
As our reputation grew, so did our team.
In 2023, we hired our first dedicated service technician, allowing us to take on more complex repairs and maintenance visits across the region.
By 2025, demand had grown enough that we brought on a second technician, expanding our ability to respond faster, serve more communities, and offer the full range of equipment our clients rely on.
OUR STORY
January 1, 2026, we moved into a larger warehouse, where we are now.
This space lets us carry a greater selection of mobility devices, keep more parts on hand, and serve our clients better than ever.

Ali started Wheelchair Works from his garage in 2017, leaving a corporate mobility career where the industry talked about caring, but didn't.
He built Wheelchair Works to be a place where every client gets the time, honesty, and support they need. That vision remains the foundation of everything Wheelchair Works does.
