The work happens here

That is one of our vans, on our floor, with the subfloor going in. Hand controls, left pedal accelerators, restraints, transfer seats and valet seating are what we specialize in, and they are fitted here.

All vans are inspected and certified by our technicians before they ever leave our shop. Nothing on this page is a photograph of somebody else’s workshop.

Who you are dealing with

You are not a number in a multinational chain

Our storefront has been open to the public since 1989, and our staff carry a combined 37+ years in durable medical equipment. They also keep taking industry training, continually, which is the part that stops decades of experience from quietly becoming decades of habits.

We are committed to understanding what you actually need, firsthand, and we treat each client independently, because abilities and needs differ.

Steve Johnson

Owner

Owns Gator Custom Mobility and is on the shop floor every day, personally handling most of the hand-control and ramp installations, drawing on three decades converting and maintaining adaptive vehicles. A custom modification, an out-of-warranty repair or a complex driver-evaluation follow-up will most likely be Steve.

Jeremy Mason

Director of Rehab · Lead ATP

Directs the rehab department and is our lead Assistive Technology Professional. He coordinates with CDRS evaluators, prescribing physicians and VA Prosthetics offices so each customer ends up in the right equipment for the long term, not just the right equipment for today.

In their words

Two customers, in full

We wanted to stay local with our custom mobility needs, and we are very glad we did. Steve took the time to speak with me on several occasions to address the vehicle and lift needed for my son.

This helped us so much to make the proper choices. His attention to detail from planning, installation and training made this a truly comfortable transition for us. Thank you GCM.

J Smith

I am a paraplegic. I have been wheelchair-bound for 12 years. Since that time I have used Gator Custom Mobilities for multiple devices including wheelchairs, power chairs, and vehicle modification.

All of the office staff and technicians have been professional and courteous. I highly recommend Gator Custom Mobility. I’m GRATEFUL to have GCM on my team.

Paying for it

Funding we work with every day

VA · Vocational Rehabilitation · Insurance · Private pay

Veterans Affairs

We provide chair fittings, repairs, custom seating, vehicle lifts and ramp van conversions through the VA, and work directly with Gainesville Prosthetics on 1090s, quotes and purchase orders.

Vocational Rehabilitation

Equipment and vehicle modifications funded through Florida Vocational Rehabilitation. We work directly with the clients.

Insurance

We verify your coverage before anything is ordered. Insurance is restrictive — some plans have excluded scooters from their benefits entirely — and you will hear that from us up front rather than after you have waited.

Humana chose us as a preferred provider for their Medicare, Medicaid and Commercial health plans. Networks and benefits get renegotiated, though, so call with your member ID and let us verify your own plan before you order anything.

For referring clinicians

Send us a referral

For ATPs, PTs, OTs, CDRS evaluators and prescribing physicians. Send the evaluation and we handle the documentation, the funding source and the fitting.

  • Driving controls installed only against a prescription signed off by a licensed CDRS
  • Direct coordination with VA Prosthetics on 1090s, quotes and repairs
  • Send a prescription for repairs and we verify insurance coverage, then contact the patient
  • Equipment delivery, setup and in-home adjustment

Provider portal
