Im saying this now because this week was able to save 2 more people from being sold a starter they dont need.

So, if you take your golf car in for service and you get told that you need a new starter, chances are good you dont. Youll be told the brushes are between 60 to 80 percent worn. Get a second opinion. Your 2020 cart does not need new brushes, as a matter of fact we are seeing now 2013 and Below year carts coming up for brushes.

Ill say this also, if your being told the repair on your golf car is going to be over 500 bucks, get a second opinion. A simple phone call maybe able to say you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.
Take the info as you wish.
Nothing wrong with residents helping one another via TOTV's, it was started for that. But when residents (??) post things like "YOU PEOPLE", it sure puts my alarm system on notice ! "YOU people" ? Like YOU are not one of "us" ? Interesting. So did this happen to you ? You spent $500 "bucks" and THEN found out it was not needed ? How did you find out ? Did a neighbor help you by finding the actual problem ? Who did you (or a neighbor ?) call to find this out ? Strange post from a fellow resident. "YOU PEOPLE"... I keep wondering what that means ?
