It is not necessary to be an expert in maintenance, just have the regular preventive maintenance routine: cleaning, inspecting and adjusting all critical components of the wheelchair and seating system.
When we say wheelchair repair, it is extending the life of the wheelchair by giving emphasis on the squeaks and loose parts. It doesn't mean rebuilding the wheelchair. It is a costly matter when repair is concerned and we need to take time to perform a weekly maintenance or checking your wheelchair, tightening a bolt here and there, and keeping the mobility clean and rush-free. By this way, you can save time and money.
Maintenance could be the best first option in order to reduce money spending repair. Wheelchairs are like a little car. Maintaining your wheelchair is important as maintaining a car. If you have regular intervals of maintaining your mobility, it can extend the lifespan and it can reduce the repair cost. Problems and functionality might be observed oftentimes. Unfortunately, it is difficult to service or maintain complicated wheelchair and components. It is not necessary to be an expert in maintenance, just have the regular preventive maintenance routine: cleaning, inspecting and adjusting all critical components of the wheelchair and seating system. Begin with wiping by applying war wax to the mobility frame with a clean, damp rag on a regular basis. Wheelchairs are like a little car.

If you are a child or young adult, you can learn to do some things such as clean the wheelchair and make sure that your bolts are tight. A rider who has limited upper arm strength should ask for help from a family member or other caregiver. Performing routine wheelchair maintenance may give you a sense of confidence in its performance, safety and reliability.
Wheelchair repair includes wiping out of excess dirt from your wheelchair which causes uneven movement and can create rust and damage moving parts. You also need to make sure that the axel and axel plate on the mobility is tight. Loose-fitting axels can break under the stress of movement. When you observe the tires are low, you need to air the tires. Low tires contribute to use up the excess battery power and hardness in pushing the wheelchair. Tighten squeaky nuts and bolts so they don't fall off or get lost. Tighten the seat and backrest to have a good posture and a sufficient body support. If can't manage and maintain your wheelchair, asking for friend or family support would be great option. If this option will not do, seek out a neighbor or local handyman. These are better ways rather than spending out hundreds of dollars in repair cost.
