Our golf cart quit on one of the golf cart paths. First thing to do is get it off the path-on to the grass.
We called villages golf cart. They gave us a loaner so we could get home. TEASING but you cannot be without a golf cart in the villages. Later they sent out a ???? and picked up our golf cart-cost was reasonable at about $10.00. It turned out to be the starter solenoid. They charged us about $18 for diagnostic and install labor.
With the part and the tow and labor and the n/c loaner, the entire repair was about $100.
A GREAT PLACE TO DEAL WITH.
RE: A FLAT
With all the construction people around here, I've not had as many flats in 40+ years of driving as in the Villages.
For your golf cart they are high volume low pressure tires.
If, you see a nail in your tire DO NOT PULL IT. If the tire is not very soft, you can drive home or to one of the many repair places around here. I noticed our tire was soft. I saw a nail in it. A little soapy water around the nail and I realized the nail was into the air chamber. I pumped the tire up with my bicycle pump and got a good night sleep.
Following morning I again pumped up the tire this time to 30 lbs and we drove the cart to VILLAGES GOLF CART IN BROWNWOOD. We got as loaner golf cart at n/c, charge was 5.95. I did not ask BUT, on my car I insist on what I beleive is a proper tire repair-taking the tire off the rim and doing a proper patch from the inside. Golf cart is low pressure, low speed, low load-it has been fine no loss of air
pressure compared to the others for several months .
In four years-two problems both listed in this post.
