How To Get Started

Step 1: Check Availability

Call us at 1-888-375-2278. This is a land line. You must call to verify we serve your area and have a spot for your specific cart type.
We do not communicate via email. There are too many issues with emails not going through, so we avoid using email for this.

Step 2: Review Terms & Pay Invoice

Once we confirm your spot, we will email you an invoice.
Important: By paying this invoice, you are legally agreeing to our Winter Storage Terms and Conditions.
There is no paperwork to sign, scan, or mail. Your payment is your signature.
We will include a copy of the "Terms and Conditions of Winter Storage" with your invoice.

Step 3: Schedule Pick-up

After your payment is received, your spot is guaranteed and we will add you to our pick-up rotation.
All prices are final and non-refundable.
Additional service or repair work will be invoiced separately.
DO NOT wait to pay your storage invoice! Your cart will not be picked up until payment is clear.

Winter Storage Advice: Gas Carts

The Carburetor Issue: Gas carts with carburetors often struggle to start after sitting. If this happens, a carburetor cleaning and fuel filter replacement will be required at standard parts and labor rates.

How to avoid issues:

Choose the Full Service Add-on: This includes a fresh fuel filter.
Use Ethanol-Free Gas: Ethanol-based fuels attract moisture and degrade quickly.
Fresh Fuel only: Never store your cart with old or poor-quality gasoline.
Keep it Dry: Store your gas cans in a clean, dry area and keep them sealed.

Pickup & Return Logistics

Step 1: Preparing Your Cart for Storage

To ensure a smooth pickup, please complete the following:

Clear the Cart: Remove all loose, personal, or non-permanent items.
Windshields: Flip down or remove windshields. Cold weather can cause the hinge to fail. Windshields MUST be down while towing.
Covers: Remove all storage covers (we do not take covers with the cart).
Enclosures: Roll up or remove enclosures. We cannot tow a cart with deployed enclosures.
Keys: Provide the key only if we have verified our keys work, you do not need to provide the key. You MUST provide a key if your cart uses a specialized/custom key.
Gas Carts: Fill the tank with ethanol-free gasoline to prevent condensation.
Electric Carts: Fully charge batteries before pickup. Provide a working charger (place it inside a garbage bag under the rear seat or on the floor). Note: A rental fee applies if a charger is not provided.

Step 2: Our Inspection & Transport Process

We pick up carts in groups of four, organized by location, to maximize efficiency.

Visual Check: Before loading, we inspect for broken components, seat dry-rot, scratches, dents, and light functionality.
Mechanical Check: We evaluate steering, starting, stopping, and tires.
Documentation: We record the year, make, model, serial number, and fuel type.
Battery Safety: We test batteries and chargers. Note: Batteries that do not hold a proper charge can freeze, swell, or burst. We cannot guarantee against frozen batteries during storage.
Liability: Kevin’s Golf Carts is not responsible for damage, loss of items, or battery failure due to poor health.

Step 3: Preparing for Return

Start Date: Returns begin no sooner than April 1st, weather permitting.
Scheduled Return Days: To keep our routes efficient, returns are scheduled for Tuesdays and Wednesdays only. If we encounter bad weather, we may utilize Thursdays as a backup day.
Notice Required: You must call to schedule your return; it is not automatic. We require a minimum of 10 days' notice.
Unattended Service Only: We do not accommodate "in-person" pickups or returns. Carts must be accessible to load/unload. Requiring an appointment for a specific time or person to be present interferes with our routing and is not a service we offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which brands do you store? We store Club Car, EZGO, StarEV, and Yamaha only. We do not store off-brand carts or utility vehicles built on golf cart platforms.

Q: What counts as a "Golf Cart"? A vehicle designed for recreational/sporting use, weighing no more than 1,800 lbs, with a design speed under 20 mph. NEVs (like GEM carts) are not golf carts and cannot be stored in our building.

Q: Why can't you store Lithium-powered carts? Our insurance carrier prohibits the storage of Lithium-powered carts due to fire risk. We only store carts with flooded lead-acid batteries (AGM, Gel, and SLA are accepted).

Q: Why do 6-passenger carts cost more? Stretched/limo carts occupy significantly more floor space and require more effort to maneuver and transport.

Q: Do I need to be there when you pick up or return my cart? No. To maintain efficient routing, we do not accommodate "in-person" appointments. Your cart must be accessible to "hook and go" according to our schedule.

Q: What if I have a problem after storage? Gas carts with carburetors may struggle to start after sitting. We recommend our Full Service Add-on to ensure a fresh fuel filter is installed, which helps mitigate these issues.

Q: Can I just pay in person when you arrive to pick up the cart? Yes. If you are present when we arrive, you may pay via cash or check. If you are not there, a check must be left in a secure location with the cart. If we arrive and no payment is present, we will not pick up the cart, and you will be moved to the next available pickup date.

Q: What if I need my cart back earlier than April 1st? This is strictly weather-dependent. If March is warm and there is no snowpack, we may begin returning some carts early. However, if there is heavy snow, the answer is no. We do not "fight" snowbanks or shovel out storage facilities to accommodate early returns.

Q: Do you provide a multi-cart discount? No. The same amount of effort goes into transport, maneuvering, storage, and washing for every single cart. We maintain a standard of service that requires equal time and labor for each vehicle.

Q: Can I drop the cart off at your shop myself to save the transport fee? No. Our storage facilities are not located at the shop property. We still have to transport your cart from the shop to the storage building, so the transport fee applies regardless. Additionally, for insurance and safety reasons, we do not allow unattended drop-offs. We cannot risk vehicles being damaged by customers maneuvering trailers in our driveway.

Q: What happens if I pay for heated storage and the power goes out? As stated in our disclosure, while we maintain a 45°F environment, steady heat is not guaranteed during utility or equipment failures. We do not offer refunds or discounts for temporary unconditioned periods.

Q: My cart is behind a locked gate or in a shed. How will you get it? You must ensure the cart is accessible on your scheduled pickup week. If we arrive and cannot access the cart, you may be subject to a dry-run fee or lose your spot in the rotation.

Q: How will I know when you've picked up or returned my cart if I'm not there? We document every cart with a preloading checklist. I will typically call you once the cart has been picked up and safely placed in storage. If your cart requires repairs before going into storage, those will be performed first, and you will receive a call regarding those repairs.

Q: What if my batteries are old? Will they survive the winter? We test batteries upon arrival. If they are in poor health, they are at a high risk of freezing or swelling in unheated storage. We are not responsible for battery failure due to age or poor maintenance prior to storage.

Q: I have a "smart" lithium battery that I swear is safe. Will you make an exception? No. Our insurance policy is strictly "Lead-Acid only." We cannot make exceptions regardless of the battery brand or safety features.
