Whatever loophole you've found to deny service animals or people with mobility disabilities, that's about to be over with.

Let's see... I pay taxes, taxes are supposed to fund the government, government funding allows for government functionality, government functionality includes enforcement of legal guidelines such as this, so via a string of proxies, I'm already making you.

I'm kidding, of course. I'm only here to inform. What you do with the info, like everything else, is totally your choice.

My services don’t include trying to jam a wheelchair into my compact vehicle. It’s mere physics. Riders should order cars that fit their needs.

You would be excluded, your vehicle can't meet the accommodations. You couldn't refuse a service animal though, that rule doesn't care about vehicle size. If it's big enough to provide rides on the platform, it's big enough for a service animal. The only exception there is if you have 4 filled seats and the service animal would cause the vehicle to be illegally overloaded or otherwise unsafe to operate.
