HillBilly

A customer came in complaining that his Hillbilly Compact Plus was making a ‘terrible’ noise from the gearbox area. We isolated the problem to the motor which we removed and stripped down and upon examination we found one of the lugs on the base plate had fractured and sheared off and was still attached to the motor retaining bolt which screws in to it. Because the bolt was no longer attached it was hanging freely within the motor and causing the noise.

The answer to the problem was to thoroughly clean the motor internals, tap and drill a new thread in to the base plate and re-assemble the motor with a new and longer retaining bolt.

Battery

Today the phone rang with a customer who had a problem with two batteries that were intermittently losing power, They went on to add that they also had two chargers. They advised that either battery would have been charged with either charger as they did not keep them in specific pairs.

We requested that they bring in all the items for testing which resulted in:

One battery and one charger being faulty

The other battery and charger were ok.

We always recommend that if you have two batteries and two compatible chargers then keep them in designated pairs like colour coding them or labelling.  If battery faults arise in the future then you will know which pair are at fault and require testing.

2014 has got off to a great start with new customers coming in for repairs and servicing. Here's a picture of some axle mounts we had to replace because they were worn, The single one at the top is a new one and the two below it are the worn ones.

We now accept credit and debit card payments through the Worldpayzinc system.
Our sales of lithium batteries are beginning to take off as people are becoming more aware of their power, light weight and efficiency.

Don't forget in addition to electric golf trolleys we also repair and service Single Seater Ride-on Buggies.
We also test and supply buggy batteries and chargers at competitive rates.  
Buggies require regular servicing and maintenance to keep them in tip top order and with expertise and experience in working on makes such as Electrokart, Powerhouse, Powaglide, Hillman, Grasshopper and Patterson we will be happy to extend our services to you. 

Battery Testing

Your battery can be prone to failing ie not lasting 18 holes and sometimes no power at all although none of these problems happen until the battery is at least two years old. 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 test 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 curse 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 the trolley gets 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.
