Purchased a Club Car 2003 in 2007, refurbished like new. Excellent
January, 2013
Me: My problem: Excessive noise under seat, vibration sound from engine. Also would start to go and then stop, over and over again. (2 Problems)
Mechanic #1: Diagnosed as Hard starting. Not true. I told him Noise.
After 1 hour he said "Oh, yes, we found the problem, you need a new Rev Limiter, cost $363.00. I can get one in 1 hour and you'll be set to go."
With all the other charges, sales tax, service charge, mechanic shop supplies, the total came to nearly $500.00. A new spark plug, fuel filter and oil change, were listed as a no charge, because my cart didn't need it in the first place. When I finally got to test drive to Brownwood, noise was still there and everything else. After weeks to cool off, I found another mechanic.
Mechanic #2-Came to house lifted the seat said,"WELL, LOOK HERE AT THIS." The engine was about to fall down to the ground. The Snubber was so shriveled up that Mechanic #1 had not brought to my attention. Cost about only $25 bucks. I'll replace it and check the governor. OK, Cost now another $100.00. Total $600.00 now.
Me: Test ride to Brownwood, yep you got it. Stop and Go still the same but no noice from the snubber. I called him and he said, "Oh, I'll be up within 2 days and I'll adjust the governor. Well, Two weeks now and a no show, no courtesy phone call. NOTHING
Me: I could have gotten killed not to mention innocent people and children if an accident occurred due to an engine dropping in the middle of the street if I had not been cautious and inquisitive about what happened to my cart. It was impossible for Mechanic #1 to miss seeing the Snubber while working on my cart for 2 hours. IMPOSSIBLE, is what I've been told.
Did I do something wrong? What's wrong with this kind of repairmen ship (both supposed to be reliable people). I really don't believe they deserve $100.00/hr with this shabby work. AND $600.00 and I still can't use my cute little golf cart for months. I'M FED UP. I GIVE UP. Wouldn't you?
