Where are Yamaha golf cars made?

The local engineering and production know-how for all of these products goes right back into each of these products.

What year is my cart?

Most carts have a serial number label on the frame below the seat, or in the dashboard area. The specific location varies by manufacturer and model.

How do I maintain my cart & batteries ?

Everything you need to know about maintaining your vehicle is found in the Owner’s Manual. Coastal Carts also offers a FREE maintenance orientation.

What is an annual service and why do I need one?

The manufacturer of any vehicle will list the required preventive maintenance in the Owner’s Manual. An annual service for a golf cart is akin to an oil change, tire rotation, and mechanical & safety inspection for a car. Golf carts perform better, cost less to own in the long run, and hold their value if they are properly maintained.

Can you service my cart on site?

Yes, most maintenance and repairs can be performed on-site. Call Coastal Carts and ask us about our Total Cart Care service.

I just came back to Florida and my cart won't run or charge.

First, check your Circuit Breaker and GFCI to be sure the charger is getting power. If it is, then most likely, your batteries are deeply discharged as a result of not being charged in many months. Furthermore, your charger will not activate because it does not recognize a healthy battery pack present and ready to be charged. Your cart will require a jump start and possibly new batteries.

How do I get my cart to your service department?

While a few owners have a suitable truck and trailer to transport their golf cart, most utilize our Coastal Carts delivery truck, or in many cases, we can service your cart on-site.

Why aren't service call and transportation fees covered by my warranty?

Yamaha Golf Car Company’s warranty pays for covered repairs for parts and labor. The Warranty does not reimburse Dealers’ for any transportation costs.

Why are EFI powered vehicles superior to Carbureted gasoline engine vehicles?

Just like in automobiles, high quality golf carts with gasoline engines have migrated away from carburetors to .electronic fuel injection. EFI vehicles are quiet, powerful, efficient, and have lower emissions than comparable carbureted models. Carts with EFI no longer need to be choked.

Why are AC powered vehicles superior to DC motor powered vehicles?

Yamaha AC power carts have more powerful motors, quicker acceleration, better hill climbing power, and require less maintenance because they do not have carbon brushes that need periodic replacement.

Do you accept trade-ins? What is my trade-in worth?

Coastal Carts accepts trade-ins of Yamaha, Club Car, and E-Z-GO models that are 15 years old or newer, are in average or above-average condition, and are in good working order or only require minor repairs.
