NorCal SCI hosts a free wheelchair repair clinic at Archer Bicycle in Oakland on the second Saturday of every month.

This is your chance to bring your wheelchair in for maintenance and minor repairs, free of charge. Appointments are first come, first served. To book your slot, call Greg at 510-681-1141 or email greg@archerbike.com. Please read through the details below before you book, as there are important details to be aware of.

This clinic is primarily for manual wheelchairs. Our volunteer mechanic is not able to work on batteries or electronic components. If you need minor (non electronic) work on your power wheelchair, please contact Greg before your visit to see if those repairs can be done.

**Our volunteer mechanic does not stock wheelchair parts, so you will be responsible for bringing your own replacement parts/equipment.
