When to Service Your Golf Cart

Like all vehicles, golf carts need to be serviced in order to maintain their performance and safety. Many tasks can be completed at home, but it’s also important to seek professional service from time to time. Our team at Golf Cars of Louisiana strives to be a resource for all of your golf cart needs, so we’ve put together a quick guide to help you determine when your cart needs serviced.

Check the Owner’s Manual

The best way to keep up with the recommended service tasks is to refer to the owner’s manual for a maintenance guide. Many manuals will include a timeline of different tasks that should regularly be completed. For example, if you have a gas-powered golf cart, you’ll need to regularly complete oil changes! Things like tire care, battery care, and body care can also be found in your manual.

Regular Servicing

It’s not a bad idea to have your golf cart professionally serviced once a year for regular tasks, especially if you use your golf cart frequently. Having a mechanic complete regular maintenance will allow them to identify any problems you may not have noticed throughout the year. It also ensures that the golf cart is safe to operate.

Emergency Servicing

Unfortunately even with preventative care and regular service visits your golf cart may need a major repair. If you notice anything unusual, like a noise or vibration while driving, you should schedule a visit! It’s better to catch the problem early on to avoid serious damage.

You know your golf cart better than anyone, so ultimately it’s best to use your discretion when determining when to visit the shop.
