Golf Cart Repair face unique challenges: Diagnosing weak or dying battery packs where one bad cell drags the whole 48-volt system down. Pricing a battery pack replacement against the cart's value when customers balk at the cost of new batteries. Handling the seasonal swing of communities, resorts, and courses all wanting carts ready at once. Tracking custom builds, lift kits, and accessory installs separately from straight repairs. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median golf cart technician earns $55,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Golf cart repair has grown well past the course, with technicians serving golf communities, resorts, neighborhoods where carts are daily transport, and owners who treat their cart like a hobby project. The bread and butter is electrical: 48-volt battery packs where a single weak cell quietly drags down range and power until the whole cart limps, plus controllers, solenoids, and speed controllers that strand a cart when they fail. Diagnosis starts with load-testing the pack and checking each cell, since owners often blame the motor when the real culprit is a battery that won't hold. The shift toward lithium packs adds another layer, with different chargers and battery-management quirks than the old lead-acid sets. Beyond repairs, a big part of the work is customization: lift kits, bigger tires, upgraded controllers for more speed, light bars, sound systems, and the accessory wiring that turns a basic cart into someone's pride. The trade has a seasonal pulse, with whole communities and resorts wanting fleets serviced before the busy season. The recurring friction is money, since a fresh battery pack can cost a real fraction of the cart's value and customers wince, and the technician has to keep the simple repairs separate from the custom build-outs so each one is priced and tracked for what it actually is.
