FAQs:

What are your hours?

We are in our shop 10-6 Monday thru Friday, 10-4 on Saturday, and by chance or by appointment on Sundays.

Where is your shop?

We are located at 579 Eastern Boulevard South in Hagerstown, Maryland. We are two miles off Interstate 70 (Route 40 exit) west to a left on Eastern Boulevard and then a mile to our shop on the right.

Do I want an electric or a gas cart?

Golf carts are available in gas and electric models. For most applications, either will perform. Many people prefer electric carts because they are quieter and require comparatively less maintenance. But they are dependent on an electrical source for recharging – and for that reason, other people prefer gas carts.

Both types of carts have about 1000 pounds hauling capacity and will perform for 15-20 years (depending on the quality of maintenance). Gas carts use a 9 horsepower motor and electric carts have 2.5 – 3.5 horsepower.

A gas cart tank holds 6 gallons and will go about 150 miles per tank. Electric carts will give 90-20 minutes of continuous, non-stop running time between charges.

Both gas and electric carts will climb a 50% grade. Gas carts will climb hills faster than electric. Turning radius is 17-20 feet and the maximum speed is 12-18 MPH on level ground and 6-12 MPH going up hills.

How does a golf cart compare to an ATV?


Golf carts are more stable, and will not tip as easily as an ATV. Both the maintenance and the initial investment into a cart is far less than an ATV.

What is the width, height, wheel base, weight and length of a golf cart?

Both EZ GO and Yamaha gas carts are 48” wide. The EZ GO is 448.6” to the top of the steering wheel (unlifted) and the Yamaha is 46” to the top of the steering wheel (unlifted). The EZ GO wheel base is 65.5” and the Yamaha is 64.5”. EZ GO and Yamaha gas carts are @650 pounds and the electric carts are 950 pounds. Both makes (two-passenger style) are 93” long.

What models are available?

We offer reconditioned and reconditioned/customized Yamaha, EZ GO, and Club Car carts.

What is the difference between Yamaha and EZ GO carts?

The body styles differ (see photo gallery). Also, the engines differ in that the Yamaha is a single cylinder engine and has a heavy duty coil over hydraulic shocks while the EZ GO features a twin cylinder engine and has leaf spring front and rear suspensions.

What years are your carts?

Generally, two to five years old. We hand pick our pre-owned carts from reputable brokers and our high quality standards guarantee that you will receive one of the finest pre-owned carts available.

How do you recondition carts?

We replace worn parts, check the engine and make necessary adjustments. We check and replace all belts, filters, oils and spark plugs and paint the body. We check the batteries in electric carts and install new batteries if necessary.

Can I choose the color for my cart? Do you offer customer colors?

Of course! We offer a wide range of professional paint colors, applied by professionals! Let us know what your favorite automobile make, model and color is, or give us a picture of your race car, trailer, or boat and let us create an amazing, quality cart for you!

Tell me about your fold-down rear seat.

The fold-down rear seat (affectionately known as a flip-flop) is upholstered to match the front seat of your cart. In the fold-down position, the seat provides you with carrying space for coolers, mulch, tools – whatever you need. In its “up” position, the seat affords additional space for two more passengers.

What other accessories do your offer?


We carry a full line of custom steering wheels, stainless steel steering column covers, roofs, fold down windshields, horns, lighting packages, turn signals, side view mirrors, custom wheels and tires, diamond plate panels – even radios or CD/cassette players. Please see our accessories section for additional information. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, please ask and we will get it for you!

What does a lift kit do?

A lift kit is designed to “lift” a cart 8 inches higher in order to make the ride more comfortable and also two accommodate variable terrain. We use Jake’s life kits – acknowledged as the best in the business.

After I order my cart, how long will it take until delivery?


Normally 14 to 21 working days depending on what options, paint, and custom upholstery you choose.

Can you customize the cart I currently own?


Sure. Just email us at or call us at 866-44-CARTS and let us know what make and style you currently have. We’ll be happy to give you a quote.

Do you sell basic golf carts without upgrades?


Yes. The carts are available beginning at $1,500.00 depending on year, model and condition.

Do you take trade-ins?

Yes. We will be happy to discuss taking your old cart in trade.

How do I get my cart services?

If your cart needs to come in to our shop for repair, we will be happy to schedule a pick-up and we will return your cart to you when it is completed.

What is the best way to clean my cart?

Wash your cart with a professional auto wash liquid and a soft, clean sponge. Do not use dishwashing detergent, laundry soaps, or other cleansers not designed for automotive uses. Waxing your cart from time to time is a good idea, but don’t use a wax containing abrasive compounds. Clean your windshield using water – don’t dry with a cloth of any type.

Can I get a cover for my cart to protect it from the weather?


Not only can you get a weather-proof cover for storage purposes for your cart, you can get a cover which allows you to drive your cart while using it! This protects you from the weather as well.

What kind of warranty do you offer?


We offer a 30-day 100% warranty on all our carts.

What about delivery?

Generally, delivery is included in the cost of the cart within a 250-mile radius of our shop. Nationwide delivery is available – price on request.

Can you store my cart over the winter for me?


We will be able to offer this service as soon as our new facility in State Line, PA is completed.

Do you rent golf carts?


Yes. Carts rent for $75.00 per day and delivery is negotiable. We maintain a fleet of well-running, utilitarian carts for rental purposes.

Can I tow a trailer behind my cart?


Yes. A golf cart will easily handle a utility cart. In fact, you can even install a snowplow on the front of your cart to take care of both your driveway and sidewalk in the wintertime!

What is an NEV?

An NEV (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle) is an electric vehicle that can go over 20 MPH but not more than 25 MPH. NEVs must also meet Federal Safety Regulations such as seat belts, lights, exterior mirror, etc. They are street legal in areas where the speed limit is 35 MPH or less. We are equipped to convert golf carts into NEVs, which qualify for a tax credit both federally and in Maryland. Please check your own state’s regulations for specific details.
