Returning to Your Seasonal Florida Home? Time to Update Your Golf Cart

04 Oct Returning to Your Seasonal Florida Home? Time to Update Your Golf Cart

As the weather turns cooler across the country, thousands are coming back to Southwest Florida to enjoy their seasonal home. For those who own golf carts or neighborhood low-speed electric vehicles, this is the time to make sure your cart is in the best condition during its heavy time of use.

At Coastal Carts, we offer complete and comprehensive cart services and will even pick up and deliver your cart to your door if we cannot service it on location. When your cart has been sitting over the summer months when you are up north, you’ll need to check things like your batteries, charging system, fluid levels, electronics, controller, motor, and more. Tires and tire pressure are also key things to check and ensuring that your brakes are working correctly is vital.

There are a few other things that you may have been thinking of doing to your cart to modernize or accessorize it now that you’re on your way back to your Florida home.

Full Detail Service

After sitting in your garage or carport all summer, your car or LSV may need thorough detailing to make it shine for your seasonal enjoyment. Our expert cart service techs can correctly clean and polish every inch of your cart’s surfaces to not only make you the envy of the neighborhood but also to provide protection from the Florida elements.

Tires and Wheels

If you inspected your tires and wheels before you went up north, you may have noticed reduced or unusual tread wear or patterns. Now is the time to consult with us about your tires during the heaviest usage of the cart. Your wheels may be showing some evidence of wear or reduced mechanical structure, so we’re happy to inspect them for maximum safety and performance. The last thing you need while enjoying 18 holes or running up to the club pool is a leaky or defective tire.

Floor Mats

With the peak of cart usage comes added stress on your cart’s floormats. Increased use means more golf shoes and other passenger traffic can deteriorate the effectiveness and utility of your floormats. We offer several different options of floor mats designed to fit your specific cart that will keep your floor surfaces clean and add to their lifespan.

Golf Bag Holders

Even if you own a 4-passenger cart or LSV, you can also add a convenient golf bag holder to get the most out of your round yet still have the ability to take the visiting grandkids around your residential neighborhood. Most of our carts’ manufacturers make a dual bag rack that easily attaches to the rear of your cart, allowing you to go from family fun to golf in just minutes. Many offer a lower mounting position to allow easier club access even on lifted vehicles.

Jerry McTear, owner of Coastal Carts of Southwest Florida, points out that no matter where you live in Lee, Collier, Hendry, or Charlotte Counties, his cart experts can get your golf cart or LSV ready for a busy season no matter where it was purchased.

“We take pride in our extensive service and maintenance department and welcome our seasonal residents back and to help them prepare their cart for optimum enjoyment and use,” he said.

Since 1992, Coastal Carts’ team of dedicated golf cart and EV experts have been helping our customers choose the ideal cart for their needs or customizing their existing cart. We carry carts from Yamaha®, Tomberlin®, ICON®, and EPIC Carts®, each offering extensive lines of different models and configurations designed to meet any requirements from a casual round of golf to transporting multiple passengers in style and comfort or commercial and industrial use.
