Modified Vehicle Controls

Engineering your independence

Bespoke technical solutions for physical mobility

Reclaim Your Agency

Standard cars are built for the average person, but very few of us are average. If a physical disability has made standard pedals or steering wheels a barrier, we provide the technical expertise to bridge that gap. We start with your specific capabilities and find the technical path that leads you back to the driver seat.

Technical Mastery Available

Mark Fraser combines motor racing engineering understanding with adaptive driving instruction to solve unique mobility problems. Our training vehicle is one of very few in Adelaide equipped with modified vehicle controls, featuring over $30,000 worth of professional grade modifications. We do not just trial equipment: we can also prototype solutions to ensure the vehicle feels like a natural extension of your body.

Adaptive Controls

We trial 8+ control systems can create custom adaptions in our personal workshop if “standard” modifications don’t quite do the job.

Drive from Wheelchair

In collaboration with Total Ability we facilitate trials for high level joystick and voice command systems that allow you to drive directly from your power wheelchair.

Visual & Neck Solutions

We provide breakthrough camera technology for those with reduced neck movement or limited peripheral vision.

Technical Engineering Advocacy

We help coordinate with vehicle modifiers and professional engineers to ensure the custom equipment installed in your vehicle works exactly as you need it to. Mark provides the precise technical specifications required to satisfy your medical assessment and government safety requirements. We bridge the technical gap between engineering blueprints and your personal mobility requirements in Adelaide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which vehicle modification is right for me?

A: Discovery through trials. We use our specialised training vehicle as a technical playground to see what works for your grip and strength . We can trial multiple hand controls, accelerators, and steering aids in a single session. This help prevent you from spending money on equipment that does not suit your driving style.

A: Custom workshop solutions. Mark uses his personal workshop to prototype bespoke components for clients with unique physical needs . This engineering problem solving ensures that no one is left behind because their physical presentation is considered too difficult for the available gear.

A: Transparency and planning. Specialised equipment is a significant investment, often costing thousands of dollars. We provide transparent advice on the most cost effective paths and work with your support network to help navigate funding requirements. Our goal is to ensure your technical solution is both safe and sustainable.

A: Professional installation pathway. First help we identify the right equipment during our lessons. Your Occupational Therapist (if you have one) uses this information to ensure reports are accurate. A professional vehicle modifier then uses these details to install the approved systems in your personal car. We support you until you are confident using the gear in your own vehicle.
