Mobile fitting from Chelmsford
Howes Dual Controls is a family-run vehicle adaptation business based in Chelmsford, Essex. We supply and fit He-Man dual controls for driving instructors and driving schools in Essex, London and surrounding counties. Our mobile fitters come to an agreed location.
I am a fully qualified motor mechanic who had my own garage for 20 years, during which time I did a lot of work for driving schools. This experience led me into fitting dual controls.
I became a He-Man approved agent in 1989, and in 2004 I began a mobile service just fitting He-Man dual controls and then later added the adaptations.
In 2007 I trained my nephew Marc, who was also a mechanic, to fit He-Man dual controls and adaptations. Almost 10 years later, my son Johny joined the team.
Now, Rebecca, my daughter-in-law and Johny's wife, has joined the company and has done a stellar job taking over the administration side of things.
Dual controls, GPS speedos and driving adaptations
He-Man dual control fitting
We supply and fit He-Man instructor pedals for individual tuition cars and driving school fleets. Depending on the vehicle and transmission, the system gives the instructor a passenger-side brake and, where applicable, a clutch pedal.
Plug-in GPS speedos
We supply portable GPS speedometers that give instructors a separate view of the car’s speed from the passenger seat. The display plugs into the car’s power socket and can be moved between vehicles.
Lodgesons remote control fitting
We fit Lodgesons steering-wheel keypads for drivers who have difficulty reaching the standard controls. Depending on the keypad and vehicle, drivers can operate functions such as the indicators, lights, horn and wipers while holding the steering grip.

We can advise on equipment for your vehicle, including detachable instructor pedals, steering aids and pedal pads. Ask us to check compatibility before you book.
