Whether you’re managing a full fleet on an estate, resort or golf course – or simply own a single unit – your Club Car golf cart is a valuable asset that needs routine care and service. Ignoring early warning signs can lead to costly repairs, downtime, or even permanent damage.
Now’s the perfect time to give your vehicle the attention it deserves by having it serviced, especially during the quieter winter months.
Common Signs Your Golf Cart Needs Servicing
Don’t wait until your cart breaks down. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to book a service:
1. Sluggish Performance or Slow Acceleration
If your golf cart feels underpowered or takes longer than usual to get going, it may be a sign of battery wear, motor strain, or transmission issues.
2. Unusual Noises from the Engine or Drivetrain
Grinding, clicking or rattling sounds while driving can indicate mechanical wear – especially in older or high-use carts.
3. Battery Charging Issues
If your cart’s battery doesn’t hold charge, takes too long to charge, or drains unusually fast, it may need replacement or professional testing. This is especially common in older lead-acid models.
4. Uneven Braking or Pulling to One Side
This could be a sign of brake pad wear, alignment issues, or a suspension fault. It’s a safety risk that shouldn’t be ignored.
5. Warning Lights or Dashboard Alerts
Electric carts, especially newer models like Club Car Tempo or Carryall, come with diagnostic systems. If you’re seeing alerts, it’s best to let the experts take a look before the issue worsens.
