It’s a when our very own, Gabi Soderholm, was getting her training at Schetky Bus and Van Sales 🙌🏼

The Shift-N-Step is such an innovative approach to layouts in a Ford Transit allowing ambulatory and wheelchair entrance through the same door!

Flexibility is our middle name…we can build a floorplan that works for you and your clients!

Mahalo for the grade A training 🫡♥️

🚐✨ Loading and unloading doesn’t have to be complicated.

With a rear-entry van, getting in and out is much more straightforward. The rear access keeps the entry path clear even if someone ends up parking next to you! ♿️

A few everyday benefits:
🔹 Easier loading and unloading
🔹 More direct access from the back of the vehicle
🔹 Less maneuvering around the side of the van
🔹 Helpful for caregivers, families, and wheelchair users
🔹 Designed with everyday accessibility and convenience in mind

It’s one of those features you really appreciate when you’re using it day after day. 🙌

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make transportation a whole lot easier. 💙

When our customers’ vehicles arrive at the port, we handle it from there. 💪

✔️ Pick up at the port
⚖️ Weigh the vehicle
🔍 Complete a pre-delivery inspection
📐 Perform alignment
⛽ Fuel up
🔧 Repair any shipping damage
🚍 Get it ready for its final delivery

Then we hit the road — or, in this case, get it shipped across the ocean to Hilo! 🌊➡️🌺

From port pickup to final delivery, we make sure every vehicle is ready to roll.

🚐 ♿️ Freedom looks good on you! Get out and experience the world with these vans on your own time.

Did you know that for these wheelchair-accessible vans it’s the floor that’s lowered, not the roof that’s raised? As much as 15” lowered! This allows the ramp to be at an angle that is manageable to wheel in and out of.

On top of that, some models like this one here has an automated kneeling feature to make that angle even easier! 🙌🏼

ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL LOCAL, IN-STATE BUSINESSES ‼️

Have you heard of the new law passed allowing a 5% bid preference? This was created and voted into law to support local businesses against mainland bidders. Your in-state bid will be compared at 95% against the next mainland bidder.

We all know it costs significantly more to operate in Hawai'i than a drop-shipper from the mainland who doesn’t pay the cost of living in Hawai'i or have the support network here. I applaud the legislature for getting this through!

Every contract awarded to a mainland dealer leads money OUT of the state and jobs decrease, the money circulating decreasss, and more. Please use this to your advantage and keep Hawai'i money in Hawai'i hands.

Fill out the form here and send it in with your bids:https://spo.hawaii.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Procurement-Circular-2027-01-Hawaii-Bidder-and-Offeror-Preference_7-9-2026.pdf

Push the agencies to enforce it. Don’t let Federal funding scare you. It’s applicable and other States have this. IMUA HAWAI'I!

A wheelchair accessible vehicle is meant to provide freedom, but that can’t happen when drivers park on the striped lines of an access aisle. Watch this video to learn more about accessible parking misuse and the importance of keeping out of the blue access aisles.

POV: The boat lands on Maui… and a new beginning is waiting at the harbor. 🌺🚌✨

From school runs to tour days, family businesses to dream businesses — every bus and van we deliver carries a story.

And somehow… after the long miles, ocean crossings, early mornings, paperwork, loading docks, and late nights…
you hear that first ignition on island.

And it just feels like… hallelujah. 🙏🏽

Serving Maui one delivery at a time.

Mahalo for trusting us with the rides that keep the County moving. 🤝🌴
