Possible Issues After Storage - Gas Carts:
Gas golf carts with carburetors may not start after extended storage. To resolve this, we clean the carburetor and replace the fuel filter, with a parts and labor charge if this service is needed. If you purchased the full service add-on, the fuel filter replacement is included. Fuel stabilizers are less effective on ethanol-based fuels, so using ethanol-free fuel is better for the fuel system and engine. To help prevent long-term issues:
- Avoid using poor quality or old gasoline.
- Use ethanol-free gasoline to reduce issues.
- Store gasoline in clean, dry places.
- Never store gas cans open and exposed to the elements.
Pickup and Return
Preparing Your Cart for Storage:
- Remove loose, non-permanent items and personal items.
- Flip down or remove windshields.
- Remove storage covers (we will not take covers left on the cart).
- Roll up or remove enclosures.
- Provide the key for the golf cart only (only required if you have a special key).
- Gas Carts: Fill the tank with ethanol-free gasoline to prevent condensation.

Frequently Asked Questisons
Q: How do I know if you will store my golf cart?
A: We store Club Car, EZGO, StarEV, and Yamaha golf carts. We do not store off-brand golf carts or utility vehicles built on golf cart platforms. Space is limited to regular golf carts.
Q: What classifies a vehicle as a golf cart?
A: A golf cart is a self-propelled motor vehicle (gas or electric) designed for transporting persons and equipment for sporting, maintenance, or recreational purposes, with:
- At least three wheels in contact with the ground.
- An unladen weight of no more than 1,800 pounds.
- A design speed of no more than 20 mph.
- Gas engines that shut off when the accelerator pedal is released.
Note: NEVs (e.g., GEM) are not golf carts and cannot be stored in our building.
Q: My cart has lithium batteries. Will you store it?
A: No. Our insurance company charges a significant premium for storing lithium-powered carts due to the potential fire risk. We only store carts with flooded lead-acid batteries.
Q: Why do 6-passenger carts cost more for storage?
A: Stretched/limo golf carts occupy more space and are harder to maneuver, requiring more effort.
Q: Why is heated storage more expensive?
A: Heated storage incurs higher energy costs and is considered a luxury. Cold storage is adequate and cost-effective.
Q: Can I send a picture of my agreement instead of a PDF?
A: No. Our system only accepts PDF files for validation and standardization. If you cannot email a PDF, you must mail it or submit it with your cart.
Q: When do you perform full service on my cart?
A: We begin servicing carts anytime between pickup and return. Most carts opt for the full-service add-on. Additional requested work is completed simultaneously with the full service. We do not take requests for specific service dates.
