The lesson is learned soon enough: neglect comes at a price. When something or even someone is neglected, it will cost you down the road and maybe sooner than you think. The same applies to your golf cart.
Whether you’re using your golf cart for the sake of the sport or as a matter of getting around your home or business, poor maintenance can affect the performance, safety and longevity of your mini vehicle. Let’s look at a few examples where neglecting golf cart maintenance can become a real issue.
Safe Operation of Your Golf Cart
When you’re not paying attention, it’s the little things that can quickly turn into big problems. There’s no good time for a big problem but you don’t want those problems to surface while you’re operating your golf cart. This is why routine expert inspections and maintenance are recommended.
So, be sure to schedule and follow through on those inspections. Make sure that your battery, motor, tires, brakes, steering and other structural components are maintained and ready for use. While a golf cart is often thought of as a safe ride, losing brakes or steering at a critical moment can quickly become a problem.
Improve the Performance and Reliability of your Golf Cart
Regular maintenance means that your golf cart runs smoothly, exactly as you want and expect it to do. If neglected, you might notice that annoying pull to the right or the fact that those squeaky brakes aren’t braking as well as they used to.
In this “get-what-you-pay-for” world, make sure you get the most out of your golf cart. This is why routine inspections and maintenance are necessary for solid performance and reliability.
Improve Your Battery Life
These days, a troubled battery isn’t a big issue. Portable jumpers are affordable and do the job well. However, it’s still a bit of a hassle to hop a dead battery. It’s just as much of a nuisance when it comes to golf carts.
Proper golf cart maintenance means that your battery is routinely checked and cleaned. This enhances battery life and performance. Otherwise, batteries may become inconsistent, requiring more frequent replacement.
The Upgrade You Know is Coming
One day, and likely soon, you will want to trade in your golf cart for a new one. If you plan to sell your cart, then you’ll be glad you kept it properly maintained. A well-kept vehicle retains more value and will be more attractive to potential buyers. On the other hand, a failing or poorly maintained golf cart will likely be ignored or overlooked.
