Otherwise it waste of money IMO.
I have a "new" used 2018 Yamaha from 1st cart rental. The front tire wear in a year was severe. I moved them to the back and now have wear on the tires moved to front. Saw Tod Casey working on a neighbors cart and asked him about alignment. He took a look, got a wrench, adjusted the front end using a tape measure. Like a different cart! Drives much better and less wobble. He didn't want any money but I had to give him a 20. He will be my go to guy hence forth!

Does Todd have a air pump for tires? I need to rotate them because one of them worn out in the middle ( My renter must have overinflated one ) until I buy one to replace.
Another question, does tune up price always include oil change? My oils seems OK but may need tune up. I smell a bit of gas.

4 new tires at The Villages Golf Cart in Spanish Springs. $320 done in a few hours and they are the same as the ones that came on the cart. Probably could have gotten another year or so out of the old set but why chance it. Safety first for me. They are 10-inch tires on beautiful rims.

We have 2 questions that have not been answered. (1) Does he sell tires or just mount them at your home? (2) How much ? ( Either case for 205-65-10 )

He has a compressor and does check tire pressure. Oil and Air filter were changed. He removed the rear tires and serviced the brakes. He recently replaced a fuel pump and cleaned carb on a friends 2011 Yamaha after it had died on the road. leaky Tire might need to be taken
off and brought to a tire repair store for patching. I had a tire patched at Wildwood Tire Co.

Default What type tires on new Yamaha PTV vis a vis Champion Golf Course tire requirements

I know the size of tires on a new Yamaha PTV ( 205/65-10 ) but I also read there are restrictions on cart tires at the Country Club courses . I realize "all terrain types" might be prohibited but does anyone have a bit more information on the type of tire they are referring to ? New to the villages and will be buying a cart soon and I'd be disappointed if my "new " cart had the wrong tires for CC fairways !!
Thanks

It hasn't been updated since 2017.

Had a nail in my golf cart tire, called Andy to repair which he did. I was very impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and equipment. If you've ever seen a professional race car team and viewed their trailers of equipment then you'll know what I thought when I saw Andy's trailer and work space. His trailer was expertly laid out with all the equipment needed for his business. It is rare that I see professionalism at such a high level - that gives me confidence in the job being done correctly with high quality. His pricing may be on the upper end, but well worth it.

I waited in their customer room and it took about an hour. I did call ahead for an appointment.

They were courteous and easy to deal with.
I had two worn rear tires replaced at the Colony Tirechoice for $124 two days ago. They price matched Wildwood tire who currently doesn't havethe tires I needed and said they had waiting a month.
After driving The cart for a while it was making was making a sound like the brake drum was out of round. Called them and they said come in a we'll take care of it. I asked to have the new tires moved to the front and the manager explained that they are shipped in a way that make them take a few days to get round? While watching the tech work on the cart he said their was a problem with the left axle and I needed to take the cart to Yamaha. When he hit the gas on the cart the right wheel was spinning freely but the left wasn't . I am not sure if this is normal. Is the differential in these thing like a car that only drives 1 wheel? Anyway moved the tires and now all is well. No more brake noise.

I would say Tirechoice did well by me price wise, but now I am wondering about the axle/differential. The tech seemed sincere but I
did have to ask him to go ahead and move the tires, which he did.

It's a 2018 Yamaha Quietech.
