PROVIDING GOODS AND SERVICES TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

Hamilton Hyundai is committed to excellence in serving all customers, including people with disabilities.

Assistive Devices

We will ensure that our staff is trained and familiar with various assistive devices that may be used by customers with disabilities while accessing our goods or services.

Communication

We will communicate with people with disabilities in ways that take into account their disability.

Service Animals

We welcome people with disabilities and their service animals. Service animals are allowed on the parts of our premises that are open to the public. If it cannot easily be identified that the animal is a service animal, the customer can be asked to provide documentation from a regulated health professional. The documentation must confirm that the person needs the service animal for reasons relating to their disability.

Support Persons

A person with a disability who is accompanied by a support person will be allowed to have that person accompany them on our premises. Fees will not be charged for support persons. To determine if a support person is necessary, the customer will be consulted with to understand their need and consideration will be given to health or safety reasons based on available evidence. Determination will be made as to whether or not there is any other reasonable way to protect the health and safety of the person or others on the premises.
