Independent
Lifestyles was founded in 2002 as a subsidiary of M.I.T.S
of Waynesboro. Since then, the company has become an
independent, stand-alone organization with it's own resources
and continues to expand at a great pace. The service department
has continuously improved through training of its technicians at
service schools throughout the mobility industry. Maintenance
and repair of all types of accessible equipment is what our
clients appreciate the most. Whether purchased here or
elsewhere, when something fails, it is very important to the
owner to get it back in service. You won't have to wait a week
to hear from us. In fact, rarely more than a couple of hours
will pass before you hear back from us and most of the time with
a solution to your problems.
