About Advanced Wheels, Inc.

For nearly 40 years, Advanced Wheels, Inc. has been a trusted, family-owned leader in wheelchair accessible vehicle conversions, sales, rentals, and expert mobility and automotive service. Founded in 1988, we’ve grown thoughtfully and intentionally—expanding from our original East Granby, CT location to East Haven, CT, and North Oxford, MA—while staying true to our values of personal service, technical excellence, and integrity.

Unlike many companies in our industry now owned by venture capital or large corporate groups, Advanced Wheels remains independently owned and operated, with long-tenured leadership and a deep commitment to our employees and customers. Our work sits at the intersection of traditional automotive operations and meaningful social impact, helping individuals and families maintain independence and mobility.
