cost of car hoist for power chair

how do other disabled members get their powerchair in and out of the car?
I've got some folding aluminium ramps but they're difficult to use, and you need 1/2 the street's length.
I'm wondering about getting a hoist fitted to my Renault Kangoo but don't know where to go locally (Sheffield). I want to stow the wheelchair in the boot, and retain the rear passenger seats, rather than a full wheelchair coversion at the cost of the rear seats.
is it possible to get the adaptation done on Motorbility even if it's your own car?
thanks:D

The only way to be sure is to ask Motability I suspect they will only help with the cost of Car Hoists fitted to motability Vehicles. But I have not had to use Motability so cannot be certain.
You may find you can pick up a car hoist secondhand from Disability Equipment register or Just Mobility or Ebay
I would imagine any garage that offers a Motability service will know who locally does the fitting of car hoists.My weight loss following Doktor Dahlqvist' Dietary Program
