Services
Owned by Roy Harding and established in 1959 by my father, we take pride in our service in providing wheelchair converted cars from our showroom in Canterbury. Please ring before arriving (01227 462977), since often out collecting and delivering, wheelchair adapted cars. Normally at showroom 10.30am to 3.00 pm, then home visiting.
Friars Motor Company starting trading 1959, a business started by my father, and that is proud to have served Canterbury for over the last 58 years. Recently moving from our original site in the Friars to Northgate Canterbury, less than 1/2 a mile away to enable expansion of the Marlowe Theatre. You can find our showroom near the main Sainsbury's store, take the Northgate exit from Main Margate roundabout, watch our video directions from the North or South.My love of wheelchair cars, comes from the delight the vehicles bring to their new owners!
All wheelchair car accessible vehicles are warranted mileages and in excellent condition. For sale in Kent and the South East, including Ashford, Maidstone, Medway, Herne Bay, Whitstable, Folkestone, Dover, Deal, Rye and Tenterden. Since getting around is hard without one of these cars, I'm happy to come to you for viewing.
I have bought two vehicles from Friars Motor Company over the past few years and have been delighted with both purchases. Roy has a wealth of knowledge about wheelchair accessible vehicles and offers an outstanding service because he understands the requirements of his customers perfectly. In addition, the after sales service offered by the company is quite superb.

Our dealings with Roy were superb from the start. He is one in a million of car dealers. I would not hesitate to recommend Friars Motor Company to anyone thinking of buying a used WAV. Roy helped us to understand what they are all about including demonstration and instruction. If I could give 6 stars I would! ******

Best car salesman in the world! No pushy salesman, Roy listens to what your needs are, and matches the car to you, he bought the car over to me tried my buggy in it fits well, and enough room for the dog! Roy has had the car M.O T, and brought it back to me, with the hand controls fitted for me. What service! Fantastic.

We recently purchased a WAV to help us with transporting our grandson who is a wheelchair user. Roy was very helpful from start to finish. He gave us time to consider out options and explained everything clearly and even left a gift for our grandson in the car. Wonderful personal service. Would recommend to anyone looking for a low mileage adapted vehicle.

My Mum became wheelchair bound not that long ago and when it was clear she would not walk again it was time to trade in my mini for something more practicable. I work in Canterbury so when I came across Friars Motors, the selection, prices and location attracted me. Roy has been brilliant and helped me decide on the right vehicle. Any questions or queries I have had since he has only been too happy to help advise on and remedy.
I cannot recommend highly enough. I will certainly point anyone in the direction of Friars Motors and buy from there again myself if I need to. Many thanks Roy, I can now take Mum on the holiday she's been waiting ages for.

Roy is not your average used car dealer. He is extremely knowledgable on the subject of wheelchair accessible vehicles. He has a good selection of cars to view and is very friendly and helpful and not at all 'pushy'. We bought a lovely car from him this week with very low mileage and in excellent condition. Roy goes that extra mile to be helpful and make sure the customer is happy. I would have no hesitation in buying from him again in the future. He also makes a good cup of tea!

I have recommended Friars Motor Company to several neighbours and they are as impressed as my mother and I have been with their vehicles and the firm's customer service.
