In the last several years that I have been living here ,I haven't heard any good things about Tire Choice.

Where I lived there was dealership that offered the free oil changes long as you owned the car if you brought the vehicle there. IF you were clueless about routine preventive maintenance you were the pigeon they were looking for. Come to find out they were not changing the oil, but changing stuff (on the invoice) that didn't need to be done yet gouging the very customers they feed on. I found this out when co-worker asked me to look at her car. Oil hadn't been changed ( I suspected they never changed the oil). But if you looked at the dealership records it had. That dealership also had the some local college football team on the payroll which got dealership and college in hot water with the NCAA. Needless to say he sold out and moved to Az, or Fl. I think to start up his next scam.

IMO bottom line Free not always free in the long run. If her case the engine was knocking and puffing blue smoke.

Does anyone have Willie's contact number?

I was told third hand (yes, this is an an unqualified rumor and I apologize if it isn't true) they will adjust your your top speed down to 20 mph without asking your permission when you bring your cart in for service. Just curious if anyone knows whether this is true or not?

When you are in the LSL area, swing by Gordon's Garage, the new location for the Villages Yamaha dealer and check out their prices. Very competitive and they service all makes. If you make an appointment or get there real early in the morning for service, they will have a rental for you to use while your cart is being serviced.

If they do that,IMHO-they're doing you a favor--the fines for exceeding the 19.9mph on a golf cart are not just for speeding, having an uninsured, unregistered vehicle--total cost could approach $1000.00

I think there may be some urban myth to this. Is there anyone out there who has received a ticket and how much was it?

It is not an urban myth about tickets while driving Golf Carts! You cannot get a ticket for speeding for a non-street legal GC. But you can get a ticket for being unregistered plus the fact that you have to have it certified that it is regulated! Do a search on this site and you will see there was a poll a while back. There were plenty of folks that had received a ticket for speeding on the GC.
