Golf season is here, which means a lot of carts are coming out of storage for the first time in six months. This is the moment to get ahead of problems rather than discovering them on the first nice Saturday.
What a spring service covers
Batteries. Top off the water to the proper level with distilled water, check specific gravity, clean any corrosion off the terminals, and check that every cable is tight. On a cart that sat all winter this is the single most important item.
Tires. Pressure comes down over a cold winter. Check and inflate to spec, and look for flat spots or cracked sidewalls from sitting.
Brakes. Check the pads and adjust. Brakes that sat all winter often need adjustment even if nothing wore.
Grease. Every zerk on the cart. This is quick, cheap, and skipping it is how front ends wear out early.
Electrical. Look over the wiring for anything a mouse got into over the winter. It happens more than you would think.
Gas carts. Fresh oil if it was not changed going into storage, check the air filter, and see how the fuel that sat all winter is behaving.
Why now rather than later
A spring service costs a fraction of what a repair costs. A battery pack that gets watered and cleaned in April lasts years longer than one that gets ignored until it stops holding a charge in July.
There is also a scheduling reason. Once the season is properly underway I am booked with breakdowns, and a breakdown call means you are waiting while somebody's cart that quit at a wedding gets handled first. Preventive work in the spring gets scheduled when you want it.
Seasonal packages
I offer seasonal maintenance packages that pair fall winterization with spring service, so it happens on a schedule and you do not have to remember to call.
Whitefish Lake Golf Club cart barn owners have a dedicated package for that specific situation, including monthly charger resets through the winter.
