Generic, Offshore vs Name Brand Golf Carts

Understanding the challenges of purchasing a generic golf cart vs a leading name brand can help save time, money, and frustration. This is not to suggest that there aren't other quality brands besides the big three, EZGO®, Club Car®, and Yamaha®. However, cost becomes irrelevant if you have a cart that isn't functioning or cannot be serviced, and has little to no warranty. Here are a few things to consider before buying a Golf Cart.

• Will the company be around long term?
• Can I reach someone for warranty and service?
• Can I purchase quality replacement parts and accessories in a timely manner or at all?
• Is it dependable, will it last, and does it have a good resale value?
  

As an established golf cart sales, parts, rental, and service centre we regularly experience people looking for answers to why they can’t find a warranty service centre, compatible replacement parts, and accessories for their offshore and off brand carts. Everything from wheel caps to motors, controllers, and battery chargers can be difficult to find.

The top three brands of carts made in the USA have over 175 years of combined manufacturing experience. This is more than all the offshore brands combined as of this publish date. This experience and quality control combined create a platform for superior products and replacement parts, large geographic of sales and service centres with trained personnel, a warranty, and higher resale values. This all adds up to value that can offset the initial cheaper sticker price that draws many people in. Ultimately, the focus should be on the quality control and customer service, rather than solely on the location of a product's manufacture.

So, before you spend your hard-earned money, consider a new or quality refurbished cart with a manufacturer brand that has your back when it comes to proven long-term quality, solid warranty, and proper customer service.
