When I first purchased my 2008 electric EZGO cart from the EZGO factory store on 27/441, I called for service at 6 months and was told that there was nothing on it to really service. I also heard this from other 2008 EZGO owners.

Last spring, I heard about the software upgrades that were available and noticed that my tires were not wearing evenly. I took it to EZGO on 27/441 and was told that I should have the cart checked at least once a year. They would have put up any software upgrades and taken care of the front end alignment. Advantage had recently taken over the EZGO franchise and they had heard that the previous service people said that it did not need service but they were lying.

They put up the software upgrades, changed out my controller so I could get the full 19 mph, realigned the front end and rotated the tires for the cost of a service call.

So from now on I will be calling once a year for the annual service - ($80 - I think).

The only problem is that they do not do the service at the house like Cart World did. They need the cart for at least overnight so I have to schedule golf accordingly so I can be a rider and not the driver.
