About Us
Serving the Community Since 1993
Access Vans, LLC is a family-owned company that was founded in 1993 by Chris Thomas. Chris is an Idaho Native who has been a quadriplegic since 1990. Seeing a need for adaptive vehicle services in Idaho and having been an automotive body shop owner, Chris was uniquely qualified to open Access Vans to fulfill this need.
• Free Consultations
• 30+ Years of Experience
Those individuals having the desire to have an active lifestyle should not have vehicle mobility be a barrier.
This is the doctrine that Access Vans was founded on and continues to live by today.
Chris has always been an avid outdoor recreationist enjoying motorcycles, snowmobiling, boating, mountain biking, hunting, etc. This is currently possible because of Chris’ own push-pull hand controls and other unique creations done at Access Vans.
Since childhood, Chris has always had an acute interest in car modification, which led to a career in auto body repair. Custom modification continues to be a large part of the work done at Access Vans. Our work includes adaptions for all types of vehicles, enhancing the lives of individuals with physical disabilities so that participation is not limited by their vehicles or recreational choices.
We’re a member of the Adaptive Driving Alliance, and we’ve even won the President’s Award from BraunAbility! For your free consultation about any of our services, please call today.
Access Vans’ Customer Commitment
Chris has high standards for the quality of work that leaves his shop, and this is shared by his employees. Customers should be treated with honesty and integrity and provided with what they need/want, not necessarily what is in stock. These principles ensure that doing business with Access Vans is a rewarding experience. This commitment to do what is right has made Access Vans the premier adaptive mobility equipment dealer in Idaho.
