star
 

I pay 243.00 per year for coverage thru Hartford AARP. I also recieved the tax credit that expired on Dec. 31.2009. I must say the only reason I purchased the star was the tax credit. That being said I have found it to be reliable and comfortable to drive. I also have an older club car that I like. Just for anyone's information the new Star Dealer is a reliable dealer with six Florida golf cart locations.

Star Carts
 

I believe Star Cars are just as reliable, if not better than its competition. Ive been driving Stars around for about two years now. As with any golf car, you'll come across problems here and there. I find the new dealer, AllStar, to be some of the nicest, respectable, and knowledgable people around that not only service the Star, but any make any model. They stand behind thier work and thier product. As for the look of the Star, one of a kind. The SS LTD model they have blows the competition away. I would recommend Star to anyone. As for the "Buy in America" idea. What cart out there is COMPLETELY made of american parts? Star is made up of more than 60% American made parts and assembled in Simpsonville SC. But dont take my word for it! But do give these great folks at AllStar a look...I think youll love what you see.

We just came back from talking to the people at AllStar. This after visitng ParCar and EzGo in TV.I came on here looking for reviews on Star Golf Cars not the LSV's Though we have not made a decision yet we were the most impressed with the Star Golf Car especially the SS LTD! Awesome look and ride. Nice accessories and upgrades for less money than Par Car and EZ GO. We also were very impressed with the couple working there. Very informative and helpful and he formerly worked for Par Car ;) We'll definitely be giving them a second look!

I am confused. The only STAR golf cart business that I was aware of is in Best Buy Plaza. Is there another or new STAR dealer?

They have an interesting corporate website. They are very careful not to stress the "made in China" aspect with regard to components and parts. Still interesting.

same place...different owners. I think they go by the name of Tradewinds now.

Hey Golfcartguy, do you or anybody else have any experience with the Tyger Carts?

star carts listed with seniors vs. crime
 

We have a star cart bought here at tradewinds golf cart. This is the 3rd owner in a year and a half. Bob Shultz and his wife run the franchise here at the villages. The service is extreamly poor. They will never provide a work order of what was done or show used parts. They will deiny warranty coverage. Bob Shultz is extreamly unproffesional calling your home and cursing at my wife. Do not buy or do business with them. Our cart has been in the shop more than on the road. Call Seniors vs. crime to get a report on them.

I find this kind of funny. I'm in the Tradewind showroom at least once a week. The staff makes you feel like your part of the family. They also have two adorable puppies that run to greet you as soon as you step in. As for service, I will repeat myself. The service guys are prompt and courteous. I have never had an issue with the service dept. Ive requested to have my old parts that were replaced before and was not turned down. As for being denied coverage, was your warranty out??? Its 2 years, bumper to bumper. You cant expect to have things replaced past warranty. As for LIGHT BULBS and things of that nature, that's on you, whether your warranty is up or not. Some people need to quit expecting something for nothing. Golf Cart companies have to make money too. I know Mr. SCHULTZ fairly well. We play golf from time to time. I find it hard to believe he cursed your wife. Its crazy how we live in such a "LAWLESS" world were people bash each other and/or companies because assume they've been done an injustice.

Sincerely,

We weren't even told this cart was made in China? Cart delivered on MOnday -5/21 & already been back for service 3 times! The problem we are having is the cart surges - will not run smoothly, constantly seems to stop & then restart? Any advice on how to fix this? I'm not sure we can force them to take the cart back at this point although we are ready to try! Thanks for your help.

I am not sure what kind of car you are talking about, but if you call me I am sure I can help.

If you say you just had it delivered on Monday I don't think we did it but would glad to come out and see what we can do for you.

How can I get in touch with you to discuss getting this work and some other work done to my cart? If I could get 60-70 miles per charge, I would be thrilled. I have a 2002 Club Car. Please PM me or send me an e-mail at winstonoboogiejr@yahoo.com

Serious doubts that you'll hear back from him, Winston. He has only 3 posts to his credit and they were all in this thread..............from the fall of 2009.

You might see if his User CP is set up to be able to send him something via e-mail on the chance that he's still using the same e-mail address.

Bill :)

Thanks, Bill. I didn't notice that his posts were that old.

No problem-o!

We have friends who have a street legal Star gold cart. They have decided to get rid of it. They said the insurance is very high, about $600/year. Also, once you register your cart as street legal, you can't change your mind and unregister it from street legal. And, they said the person who works on them doesn't carry a huge supply of parts on his truck, so parts have to be ordered, which takes a couple weeks. I'm sure you will research fully and make your own decision, just giving you facts from someone we know who has one.

Star Golf Cart Problems
 

To many problems, hard to find parts, metal parts rust, plastic windshield start to spilt, lights dim and now went completely out. Think problem is 36 to 12 volt converter. Unless they have improved over the last 3 years I would not recommend. Hard to find dealers.
