Welcome to the GM Canada Mobility

Program for Persons with Disabilities

This is a simple overview of our Mobility Program to help you find the vehicle and adaptive equipment you need. Also be sure to speak to your GM Canada dealer about a reimbursement of up to $1,000 towards the cost of adapting an eligible GM vehicle*

Step 1

Obtain an evaluation

First find a driver assessment facility and arrange for a complete evaluation. Your assessment professional will be able to make suggestions about your driving and any adaptive equipment you need. You should also speak to your provincial Ministry of Transportation about any changes in your medical status.

Step 2

Eligible equipment

To be eligible for a GM reimbursement of up to $1,000, your adaptive equipment must be permanently installed in a vehicle, installed for a driver or passenger with a permanent disability and purchased from and installed by a licensed equipment installer. Equipment available from General Motors (i.e., regular production options and GM Accessories) is not eligible for reimbursement. Speak to a GM Mobility Program representative to find out more.

Step 3

Choose a vehicle

Together your GM Canada dealer, an adaptive equipment installer and an assessment professional can help you choose the right vehicle for your needs.

Step 4

Find a qualified equipment installer

If you're not sure where to find qualified installers in your area, the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA), your provincial rehabilitation services agency and the Ministry of Transportation are good sources of information. Shaw GMC is a qualified installer. Contact us at 403-243-4200 for more details.

Step 5

Get to know your financing options

GM Canada has a number of financing options available including Smart PurchaseTM‡ Financing. This new, more flexible loan product allows you to own your vehicle while still enabling you to return your vehicle at a fixed point in the contract term for a predetermined price. Talk to our finance experts here.
