Pre 2004 when living in the Seattle area, my chair shop tried to come
out that day or at least the next. Or I could just drop by. They had
all kinds of parts.

I've always been given a "loaner" chair. Did they not offer that?
In regards to just fixing the stripped cable. I'd call an electrician
(or do like you did). Chair place have been gutted of their abilities
to work outside the box by lawyers. They carry all the liability for
their work. So, a new cord reduces that liability whereas patching a
stripped one does not. I do remember when shops did all sorts of
optional solutions....

I have had this problem with these companies so many times. It's
just not right. You WERE very fortunate to have a friend to rewire
the ripped cable.

Last night I was raising my chairs seat and the joystick cord
came loose and hooked around the motor and as I raised it
ripped open the cable. Repair shop says 4-8 weeks to get
fixed. They carry no parts.
1. Get prescription.
2. After they get that, make appointment to get chair checked
out. (week +)
3. They pick up chair.
4. Get Insurance OK. (about 2 weeks)
5. Order part. (About a week)
6. Fix chair.
7. Make appointment deliver (week +)
They say if insurance oks, can get manual rental chair in a
week. Or maybe power chair in a few weeks.
I just dont get these guys. I know they can't have spare parts
for all chairs, but I don't understand why they can't just
send a joystick to use until.
LUCKILY, a friend of a friend was able to stop by and rewire
to ripped cable. But they got to get a better way to do things.
