This week a guy came to my home and did an annual service on my cart including oil and a filter. The bill was less than what they charged this lady.

The difference there was that your guy was likely an individual "guy" likely working on his own or maybe with one other helper or even an "employee" in a small business who didn't have much "overhead" like 5 vehicles, maybe 5 (or more) employees, likely tens of thousands of dollars in vehicle & liability insurance and business taxes and an accountant he needed to pay a couple times a year, and on and on. Apples & oranges. I'm sure the OP could have found a "handyman" locally to do it for $20 bucks or maybe free if he first posted here or googled how to reset a breaker but he chose to hire a "professional". Your "golf cart repair guy" example doesn't compare with a licensed electrician. He also had the option to say "no thanks" when he called for the appointment. HEY, I think it's on the "high side" but not by much.
