Increased Cart Usage Means Proper Seasonal Maintenance

19 Nov Increased Cart Usage Means Proper Seasonal Maintenance

If you’re fortunate enough to spend your winter months in beautiful Southwest Florida, you may also be the owner of a golf cart or other LSV, (Low Speed Vehicle.)

When you come south and open up your home for the season, you should also pay attention to your electric vehicle to ensure you’ll experience the full performance and service you expect.

Just like your car and home, your cart needs to be maintained in top condition, especially after it may have been sitting dormant for the summer when you were away.

The upcoming Holiday and social season in cart-friendly residential communities means more trips to the neighbors’ parties, more rounds of golf and more days heading up to the community clubhouse for lunch or dinner.
