A well-maintained golf cart lasts longer, runs better, and costs less to fix over time. At Jeff Martin Auctioneers, we want to help you get the most out of your cart, whether it's brand new or ten years old.

You don't need to be a mechanic to take good care of a golf cart. Most maintenance tasks are simple and can be done at home with basic tools. The key is knowing what to check, when to check it, and what warning signs to watch out for.

Our maintenance articles cover all the basics. Things like checking your battery water levels, cleaning your terminals, keeping your tires at the right pressure, and making sure your brakes are working properly. We also cover seasonal maintenance, so your cart is ready when you need it.

For electric carts, we explain how to extend battery life and avoid common charging mistakes. For gas carts, we walk you through oil changes, air filters, and fuel system care. Whatever type of cart you have, we've got you covered.

Catching small problems early can save you from big, expensive repairs down the road. Our guides help you know what's normal and what needs attention.

Jeff Martin Auctioneers has worked with all kinds of carts over the years. We share what we've learned so you can keep your cart running the way it should.
