Default When and What/Why? for elec cart maintenance...

I have a 2010 (used) Yamaha elec cart, bought 6 mos ago. I think it's in very good condition and would like to keep it that way. I stopped by a neighbors house - a Repairman was servicing his cart at the curb. I asked him what he recommends for an elec cart. He said it costs $60 and mainly checks tire pressure and a few other things. hmm, OK.... really?

Is they truly anything that requires periodic maint on an elec cart? And when do you know the batteries may be needing replacement other than range issues? Since I bought the cart used (batts were a year old he said) I really don't know what 'new' or 'perfectly OK' may feel like. BTW my tire pressure is perfect and I monitor batt water levels/charging etc.
