We believe regular servicing of your cart is important. Especially if you drive a golf cart daily as your primary vehicle. There are a few options when it comes to servicing your vehicle. If you see our van out and about were probably picking up and delivering a vehicle that we have worked on and done some service or repairs. We try and get our carts back to you on the same day so we never over book our work and keep the cart for days unless it needs major work. Because most of our customers rely on their carts as their primary mode of transportation we make an effort to get the cart back as soon as possible. We are also fully insured and carry an insurance policy to cover your cart in the event of an accident in our shop.
As Sun City Center’s ONLY Factory Authorized Club Car, ICON EV and Denago EV dealer we have a huge range of OEM parts in house as well as other common parts for other major brands of golf carts. If we do not have the parts in house we can get them pretty quickly and do not charge extra for this service (this excludes shipping costs). We understand that most of our customers are on fixed income so price is important. We do not repair your cart without the go ahead from you.
Standard Service/Annual Maintenance/Preventative maintenance
During season we are really busy and try and accommodate everyone as soon as possible. We do not pick up carts and keep them for days unless there is a major issue or we are waiting for parts.
Things we do during the standard service:
- Check and Fill Water in Batteries
- Clean batteries if needed (Not removing them to clean over spilled battery acid)
- Check Lights, horn and turn signals (if installed)
- Check and fill Tires
- Check Front and Rear Bushings
- Grease Front End (if needed)
- Bring any noticeable problems to your attention
Brake Service
- Clean and adjust brakes
- Adjust pedal assembly if needed/possible
Wheel Alignment
This is something we encourage checking when we replace bushings on your Club Car but it is also worth doing from time to time.
Tire Mounting
A lot of our customers suggested that it would be more convenient for them if we mounted tires. We listened and now mount tires that we sell in our shop.
Bushing replacement
When we replace bushings on a cart we recommend replacing the full set not just the ones you can see. On a Club Car Precedent/Onward there are bushing kits and we replace the entire kit with the OEM kit. Aftermarket kits are not as good and cost just as much. If you can see excessive wear on your front tires call us and drop by we can usually tell if you need an alignment or not.
Battery Service/Replacement/Discharge Test
This is something we do regularly. If your batteries are under 2 years old we can do a discharge test. Our technicians have been trained to test and diagnose battery faults. We use industry standard technology to test the cells and discharge the battery pack to see if you have any issues.
Service Plan (Every 6 weeks in our shop)
We do provide an annual service plan for our customers and they bring their cart over on a Wednesday every 6 weeks. You get 9 services for the price of 3 and we see most of the customers who have this plan save money and these carts usually have a higher trade in value. This service is a first come first serve plan and we do not take bookings on a Wednesday for this plan. If you have a problem coming into the store on your planned service date we will try to accommodate your needs.
We cannot transport carts for the service plan. There may be a charge for the collection and delivery but we will take this on a case by case basis.
Things we do during the 6 week service:
- Check and Fill Water in Batteries (Cart needs to be fully charged)
- Clean batteries if needed (Not removing them to clean over spilled battery acid)
- Check Lights, horn and turn signals (if installed)
- Check and fill Tires
- Check Front and Rear Bushings
- Grease Front End (not available on all carts)
- Bring any noticeable problems to your attention and schedule an appointment to resolve the issue.
If you compare this to our standard service you see that they are exactly the same. We see customers save money with this but this plan is an annual plan and expires 1 year after renewal. We provide you a sheet with pre-populated dates so we both know when to expect you for your next service.
Water check
Checking your water in your batteries is important. If you are a current customer (Cart gets a service once a year at a minimum) drop by on a Tuesday morning between 08:00-10:00 we will check your water for free if you have purchased batteries from us or service your cart once a year. This also depends on how busy our workshop is so if you can wait we can usually get your batteries checked in between services.
Snowbird Service
We are happy to get your cart ready before you get back to Sun City Center. If we can get access to your cart a week or two before you arrive back in Florida we can get your cart boosted and serviced so you don’t have to wait for days to get your cart up and running. We are also happy to check on your cart while you are away, we cannot do this for free but will work with you to assist you or the people that take care of your house to help maintain your batteries over the summer.
Things we do during this service:
- Check water level in Batteries and then Boost the batteries in the cart
- Clean batteries if needed (Not removing them to clean over spilled battery acid)
- Check Lights, horn and turn signals (if installed)
- Check and fill Tires
- Check Front and Rear Bushings
- Grease Front End (not available on all carts)
