Villages Golf Carts will service carts that don't come from them. HOWEVER - during snowbird season, they might make you wait a few weeks for your appointment because customers with carts from them, get priority appointments and the season is very busy. They also don't offer towing service for carts that didn't come from them, you'd have to find another way of getting it there.

So that's a down-side, for sure. On the other hand, you don't have to get a cart serviced somewhere other than your own driveway - there are several golf cart mechanics who will come to you.
The Auto Club (not the insurance company) provides services for member's golf carts that have broken down, the same as it does for member's automobiles. This includes gas delivery, jump starts for dead batteries and towing. For carts with flat tires, it will not change the tire as carts do not have spares and the service truck does not carry wheels or tires. In that case, the Club will put your cart on a trailer and take it to your house or a dealership. I expect that many readers will be as surprised to learn this as I was when I read a brochure last week at the AAA office when I renewed our homeowner's/auto insurance. There are three levels of membership in the Auto Club. Make sure that your membership includes golf carts.
