I should be pleased to hear if any of you good people have had the same experience as us, as I think we may be being scammed.

We had a certain company, recommended by our neighbor, round to do an annual service on our golf cart, expecting it to be done in our drive in around an hour.

The mechanic drove it out of the garage and came back to tell us that he would need to take it into the shop as he could tell by the noise that the oil seals on the rear end had gone and oil had leaked into the motor. Not knowing any better, we agreed and ended up paying an additional $135 - $90 for the fix plus $45 pick up.

We didn't think the cart sounded any different after "the fix" but, not being experts, assumed that the work had been done (and had needed to be done).

Time for another annual service, and the same company drive the cart out of the garage and immediately came back to tell us that he "would need to take it into the shop as he could tell by the noise that the oil seals on the rear end had gone and oil had leaked into the motor."

Now, we are only here four months of the year, and have two carts so this one gets used less than half the time we are here, so something that was fixed should not go wrong again after so few additional miles. Either they did a bodged job in fixing it, or it didn't (and doesn't) need fixing and they are scamming people who don't know enough about golf carts to challenge them.


So, just wondering if anyone out there in TOTVland has been told that their cart had a similar problem and needs to go to the shop?
