Helpful golf cart tips

Keep your cart out of the shop

Most of the expensive repairs we see started as something small and cheap. Here's what we'd tell a neighbor.

Battery maintenance

Batteries are the single most expensive part of an electric cart. Watering them on a schedule is the cheapest thing you can do to make them last.

  • Check the water level in your batteries often.
  • Keep a gallon of DISTILLED water by your golf cart to remind you.
  • Add water to each cell as needed.
  • Don't fill to the very top.
  • Add enough water to keep the plates covered.
  • Check battery connections for corrosion and dirt build up.
  • Corrosion eats away at metallic battery terminals and cables.
  • You can clean these connections with a wire brush or wheel.

Brake maintenance

Waiting on brakes is how a cheap repair turns into an expensive one.

If you begin to feel like your brakes are wearing down and not responding the way that they should be, don't wait any longer to have them inspected or replaced.

The more you let your brake shoes wear down, the more damage that can be done to the drum, costing you more money.

Tire rotation & alignment

Pavement is hard on cart tires. Rotation and alignment are what keep you from buying a new set early.

Tires should be rotated frequently, especially if you are regularly driving on pavement or asphalt.

Incorrect front-end alignment can cause front tires to wear prematurely and unevenly.

When to call us

Anything past routine upkeep is worth a phone call before it turns into a bigger repair.

Watering batteries and keeping an eye on tire wear will get you a long way. Past that, most problems are cheaper to fix early — brakes and battery packs especially.
