Steering Issues

Steering issues or a trolley that veers to one side have come in to us quite regularly and can be caused by the front wheel or side wheels.  We have seen wheels not put back on properly after cleaning thus not engaging with the clutches and left to free wheel causing steering problems and nuts missing from the front axle causing the axle to fall out of its slot and make the front wheel wobbly. We may need to fix a bearing, a clutch or tyre but bring it in for us to find out what is causing your trolley to deviate off line.

A Happy Christmas to you all and we look forward to seeing you in 2014 whether for a service, repair or sale. We will keep posting information and advice on our blogs and videos will continue to be uploaded for you.

Axle Mounts

The axle mounts are located on the left and right side and fixed to the underside of the chassis. They keep the axle in line but because they are made from plastic they are prone to wearing over time and when there is excess play this can put the gearbox under some extra strain and can produce a squeaking noise where the axle rubs on the underside of the battery tray on some trolleys, so check them or get us to check them to ensure that you don’t accrue extra work and cost.

Gift Ideas

Stuck for some christmas ideas for a golfer with an electric trolley, How about Club Whizz cleaning brush, a drinks bag, an accessory station, a caddy rack or a lithium battery. There are many others but here's a small selection of what we think will be a present as an add on for their electric golf trolley although many of these ideas are for the normal golf trolley too. If you're thinking of a new trolley ask us what to consider, we are impartial and can offer advice to help you make your decision, there are so many brands and types around now that it can be difficult where to start.

Powakaddy Touch Conversion

We have successfully converted a Powakaddy Touch from its slide action to a straight forward switched potentiometer.

A customer bought in a Powakaddy Touch trolley which had a jammed handle and also no power to the motor. Once stripped down and tested it was found that the control box had blown and further diagnosis showed the trolley would need a new control box and a sliding potentiometer unit…..an expensive repair !!!

After consultation with the customer we agreed that the most cost effective solution would be to fit a new control box and convert the handle to a rigid unit incorporating a standard switched potentiometer.  This conversion not only saved the customer money but then enable the trolley to operate in a standard and more manageable way.

Battery Test

Your battery on your electric golf trolley can be prone to failing ie not lasting 18 holes and sometimes no power at all. Do not presume that the battery is the issue if you experience one of these problems as the charger could be at fault so we at GolfTrolleyGarage offer a battery testing service to get to the route of the problem. We are authorised by the main brands to test your battery on our top of the range testing equipment, we can provide a read out of the results and the battery has a full cycle test to ensure you get the right result. Once we have got our results we can then inform and advise you of the next step and course of action. We can also tell you how to look after your battery and keep it in tip top condition and thus ensure it lasts the maximum amount of time.

We sell batteries and will only use the brands that we think stand up to the rigorous tests of using your trolley on the golf course and offer good value for money, it’s in our interest to make sure you go away with a good product and not keep coming back with faulty ones !!!!

So come and see us or get in contact to find out what we offer.
