Pinpointing the Problem: Our Free Diagnosis Service

One of the most challenging aspects of repairing a golf trolley, particularly with intermittent faults, is accurately diagnosing the root cause. A trolley that 'cuts out from time to time' can be a symptom of numerous underlying issues. To alleviate this burden and provide clarity, we offer a completely free diagnosis of faults. Our technicians employ advanced diagnostic techniques to pinpoint the exact problem, ensuring that any repair work carried out is both necessary and effective. When you bring your trolley to us, we encourage you to provide as much detail as possible about the symptoms. For instance, does it cut out mostly when you try to start it, when you are moving along, or when going up a steep hill? These details significantly assist our team in a swift and accurate diagnosis, getting your trolley back to you faster.

From Minor Fixes to Major Overhauls: Our Repair Capabilities

Our repair services are extensive, covering virtually every component of your electric golf trolley. We understand that even a small fault can severely impact performance and enjoyment. Here’s a detailed look at the common repairs and replacements we undertake:

• Potentiometers: These crucial components control your trolley's speed. Wear and tear or corrosion can lead to erratic speed control or complete loss of power. We expertly repair or replace faulty potentiometers to restore smooth operation.
• Wiring: Damaged or frayed wiring can cause intermittent power issues or complete failure. Our technicians meticulously check and repair or replace all visible and internal wiring.
• Controllers: The 'brain' of your trolley, the controller manages power delivery. Issues here can lead to a host of problems, from non-responsiveness to incorrect speed settings. We're skilled in diagnosing and repairing or replacing faulty controllers, even for older models whose electronics are no longer in production.
• Motors: The heart of your trolley, the motor, can suffer from worn brushes, bearing issues, or winding problems. Our full service includes a motor brush check (where accessible), and we can repair or replace motors to restore full power and efficiency.
• Gearboxes: Grinding noises, resistance, or a complete lack of drive often point to gearbox issues. We specialise in repairing and replacing worn or damaged gearbox components.
• Wheels and Tyres: Flat spots, punctures, or worn treads can affect stability and traction. We offer replacements for wheels and tyres to ensure optimal grip and a smooth ride.
• Clutches: Essential for transferring power to the wheels, a faulty clutch can cause inconsistent drive. We inspect, repair, and replace clutches to maintain reliable performance.
• Axles: Bent or damaged axles can lead to uneven tracking and structural instability. We ensure your trolley's chassis is perfectly aligned with axle repairs or replacements.
• Hinges and Latches: These structural components are vital for the trolley’s frame integrity and folding mechanism. We repair or replace broken hinges and latches to ensure safe and convenient operation.
• Chassis Tube Frames and Handles: From minor dents to structural damage, we can repair or reinforce chassis frames and handles, ensuring your trolley remains robust and easy to manoeuvre.

The Full Service: Revitalising Your Trolley

Beyond individual repairs, we offer a comprehensive full service designed to revitalise your electric golf trolley. This preventative maintenance is crucial for extending the lifespan of your unit and ensuring trouble-free operation on the course. Our full service includes:

• Motor Brushes Check: Where accessible, we inspect the motor brushes for wear and tear, replacing them if necessary to maintain motor efficiency.
• General Condition Report: A thorough assessment of the condition of your wheels, clutches, chassis, and visible wiring. We'll highlight any potential issues that may arise in the future.
• Thorough Clean, Grease, and Lubrication: This involves a deep clean of all components, followed by appropriate greasing and lubrication of moving parts. This significantly reduces friction, prevents corrosion, and ensures smooth, quiet operation.

A full service not only addresses current issues but also helps to prevent future problems, saving you time and money in the long run.

Transparent Pricing and Customer Agreement

We believe in complete transparency when it comes to pricing. Before any work commences on your electric golf trolley, we provide a detailed quote outlining all anticipated costs. This ensures you are fully informed and agree to the work before we proceed. Our maximum labour charge is set at a competitive £40, and many jobs are completed for significantly less than this. Please note that competitively priced parts are extra, but again, these costs will be clearly communicated and agreed upon with you in advance. For some service providers, a fixed service charge (e.g., £49.99) covers diagnosis, labour, and courier services, with only parts being an additional cost. This approach ensures there are no hidden surprises, allowing you to make an informed decision.

Speedy Turnaround Times

We understand that your electric golf trolley is an indispensable part of your golfing routine. That's why we strive for swift turnaround times, aiming to get your trolley repaired and back to you as quickly as possible. While some simpler jobs can even be performed while you wait, most repairs require the trolley to be left with us to ensure a proper and thorough fix. Our efficient workflow and dedicated technicians ensure minimal disruption to your golf schedule.

The Process: Getting Your Trolley Serviced

Getting your electric golf trolley serviced with us is a straightforward and convenient process:

1. Contact Us: Reach out to discuss your trolley's symptoms or service requirements.
2. Service Charge & Collection (for specific services): For certain services, a service charge may be required upfront. Upon receipt of payment, a returns box will be sent to you.
3. Courier Collection: A courier will be dispatched to collect your trolley from your preferred address on a pre-arranged date. This eliminates the hassle of you having to transport the trolley yourself.
4. Inspection & Diagnosis: Once at our workshop, our technicians will conduct a thorough inspection and diagnosis, utilising any labour hours covered by the service charge.
5. Quotation & Agreement: You will be contacted with a detailed report on the necessary repairs and the cost of any required parts. No work will proceed without your explicit agreement.
6. Repair & Testing: Upon your approval, our team will carry out the repairs, followed by rigorous testing to ensure everything is functioning perfectly.
7. Courier Return: Your fully serviced and repaired electric golf trolley will then be couriered back to you.

This seamless process ensures convenience and peace of mind throughout the entire service journey.

Lithium Batteries and Chargers

Beyond repairs, we also supply high-quality lithium batteries and chargers at competitive prices. Lithium batteries offer superior performance, lighter weight, and longer life compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, making them a popular choice for modern golf trolleys. If you're looking to upgrade or replace your battery, our team can advise you on the best options for your specific trolley model.

When Repair Isn't the Best Option: Honest Advice

Our commitment to our customers extends to providing honest and transparent advice. If, after our free diagnosis, we determine that your electric golf trolley is beyond economic repair, we will inform you directly. It is not our policy to proceed with repairs if we believe that replacing the trolley would be a more sensible and cost-effective option for you in the long term. We will discuss all available options with you, ensuring you make the best decision for your needs and budget. Our aim is always to provide value and ensure your satisfaction, even if that means advising against a repair.
