Why did Ray’s Golf Carts change its name?
When Wendy and Gordon purchased Ray’s Golf Carts in 2014 from Wayne Bosch they wanted to change the name. Wayne advised them that the name was well known in the community and it probably was not wise to do so, however when Ben Sverdlow purchased Gordon’s shares in 2017 we all decided that in order to align ourselves with Club Car it was a good time to re-brand ourselves. If you look at our logo it is very similar to the Club Car Logo too.

Why did Club Car of Sun City change its name?
Our logo it is very similar to the Club Car Logo too, which was highlighted as a concern, we took on other brands of golf carts so it made sense to rebrand rather than simply redo the logo. Were excited about this new name and it has a catchy ring to it.

Gordock Enterprises LLC still owns the Parts ‘n Carts, Ray’s Golf Carts and Club Car of Sun City names as DBA’s.  See the Sunbiz links below to confirm the registration:

Can you sell brand new Club Cars?
Yes as an Authorized Club Car Dealer we have access to brand new carts as well as Club Car Re-manufactured carts. We are the only store in SCC that can sell brand new Club Car carts that include a full Club Car Warranty. Beware of other stores selling Club Car Silver/Gold Standard re-manufactured carts and saying they are brand new! We have also seen stores selling Brand new carts in SCC and technically these are 3rd owner carts and you probably will not have a full Club Car warranty. Any vehicle purchased with a full Club Car warranty from us, you get a acknowledgement of warranty registration document. We have seen this occur a lot and have reported it. Please be careful to not get ripped off! Check on the Club Car website to confirm the local dealership or call us on 813-634-6646 if you have any concerns.

If a Store has a Club Car Logo on its vehicle/website/signage is it a Authorized dealer
No, this is not the case ONLY Authorized Club Car dealers can display the Club Car logo below.

Is there anything I should know about Golf Car Battery Care?
Newly purchased batteries require a full charge before use.
New batteries need to be cycled several times (20 – 50 cycles, depending on type) before reaching full capacity. Usage should be limited during this period.
Battery connectors should be kept tight at all times. Periodic inspection is recommended.
Vent caps should remain in place and tight at all times during vehicle operation and charging.
Battery should be kept clean from all dirt and corrosion.
Batteries should be watered after charging unless plates are exposed before charging. Plates should be covered by approximately 1/8″ of acid if exposed. Check level after charge. The acid level in the cell cover should be kept 1/4″ below the bottom of the fill well.
Distilled or treated water should be used to replenish batteries. Care should be taken to avoid metallic contamination (iron).
Batteries should not be discharged below 80% of their rated capacity for best battery life. Proper battery charging will help avoid excessive discharge.
As batteries age, their maintenance requirements changes as well. Usually older batteries needed watered more often and require longer charging times. The capacity also is reduced.
Batteries should be brought up to full charge at the earliest opportunity. Avoid operating batteries in a partially charged condition. This will reduce their capacity and shorten their life span.
Avoid charging batteries above 120°F or ambient temperature, whichever is higher.
Periodic testing is an important preventative maintenance procedure. Hydrometer readings of each cell while fully charged gives an indication of balance and true charge level. Imbalance could mean the need for equalizing, and is also sign of possible improper charging or a bad cell. Voltage tests (open circuit, charged and discharged) can locate a bad or weak battery. Load testing will pick out a bad battery when other methods fail. A weak battery will cause premature failure of companion batteries.
Always use a matched voltage charger and battery pack system. An undersized charger will never get the job done no matter how long the battery is charged. An oversized charger will cause excessive gassing and heat which could cause explosions or other damage.
