Basically that is what ****aide does, your cart breaks down they come and pick it up or fix the flat, maybe give you a jump, sell you a new battery or tire, whatever it needs. It's a membership much like AAA is for the car, but for a golf cart. Those will electric carts might even be more inclined. My gas cart we've been members six years and haven't had to call.
One of my neighbors the one and only time he went to play Orange Blossom on the historic side in his electric cart, on the way back his batteries died and he wasn't a member and was still ten miles from home. Another neighbor of mine wrecked his Yamaha scooter in Wildwood in the middle of the night and was knocked unconcious. He was taken by ambulance to Ocala Regional and a Wildwood tow truck picked up his scooter. A couple of weeks later he went to get his scooter and towing and storage was $600 and it was going up $20 a day and they only accepted cash.
