Why You Should Seek Professional Assistance

As stated earlier, you can maintain your golf cart at home if you have the tools and expertise to do so. However, there can be hidden issues with your vehicle. Or your machine may need complex repairs to become functional again. Ideally, you shouldn't perform complicated maintenance checks at home. Instead, you'll want to seek professional assistance. A service expert can

  • Check for hidden issues that you might easily overlook.
  • Address them timely to keep your machine functioning smoothly.
  • Optimize your machine and prevent it from breaking down.
  • Help you extend the lifespan of your model.

The frequency with which you visit a service department can vary from model to model and depend on your usage and the age of your golf cart, among other factors. A golf buggy used on the fairways will need you to make fewer visits to the service bay than a model used for off-road riding.

What You Can Expect

No matter how your golf cart is powered, a service department visit will include inspection of the reverse buzzers, braking system, electrical system, including lights and signals, and steering. The dealership will also apply corrosion protectants to your battery terminals to ensure your model continues to run smoothly.

Gas Vs. Electric Cart Services

Whether you have an electric golf buggy or a gas-powered model, you can expect different services. Most likely, the cost for these services will also differ.

As you may know, gas golf carts need oil changes, carburetor inspections, and regular checks for signs of fluid leakage. On the other hand, electric models require charging up the battery, testing its connections and cables, and cleaning off terminals, among others.
