Golf Cart & ATV Service & Repair

Services We Offer

Golf Cart Battery Service & Replacement The battery pack is the heart of an electric golf cart — and when it starts losing range, charging inconsistently, or failing to hold a charge overnight, the entire vehicle becomes unreliable regardless of how well everything else is working. Ironclad handles electric golf cart battery service and replacement including battery pack assessment, individual cell testing to identify weak or failed batteries within a pack, terminal cleaning and cable inspection, charger testing, and full battery pack replacement when the pack has reached the end of its serviceable life. We work with all major battery configurations including flooded lead acid, AGM, and lithium ion upgrades for carts being converted to more modern battery chemistry. A lithium ion conversion is one of the most impactful upgrades available for an older electric cart — dramatically reducing weight, extending range, eliminating watering maintenance, and delivering more consistent power throughout the discharge cycle than lead acid chemistry can match.

Golf Cart Motor & Controller Service An electric golf cart motor and controller work together to determine how the cart accelerates, how it handles hills, and how efficiently it uses the available battery capacity — and when either component develops a problem the symptoms range from sluggish performance and reduced range to complete failure to move. Ironclad diagnoses and repairs electric golf cart motor and controller issues including motor brush replacement on brushed motors, motor winding assessment, controller diagnosis and replacement, solenoid testing and replacement, and the systematic electrical diagnosis that identifies whether a performance problem originates in the motor, the controller, the wiring, or the battery pack. For carts where the stock controller is limiting performance, high performance controller upgrades are available that unlock significantly better acceleration and hill climbing capability without requiring a motor replacement.

Gas Golf Cart Engine Service & Repair A gas powered golf cart engine is a relatively simple single cylinder four stroke unit — but simple doesn't mean maintenance free, and a gas cart that's been neglected will eventually develop the starting, running, and performance issues that follow any small engine left without proper service. Ironclad provides gas golf cart engine service and repair including oil changes, air filter and fuel filter service, spark plug replacement, carburetor cleaning and adjustment, fuel system service, valve adjustments, belt and drive system inspection, and the general tune-up that keeps a gas cart starting reliably and running cleanly. For gas carts with more significant engine issues — compression problems, oil consumption, or mechanical failures — we'll assess the scope honestly and let you know whether repair or replacement makes more sense before any work begins.

Golf Cart Brake Service Golf cart brakes are one of the most frequently neglected maintenance items on a vehicle that people assume doesn't need much attention because it doesn't go very fast — and a golf cart with worn, adjusted out, or seized brakes is a genuine safety concern regardless of its top speed. Ironclad handles golf cart brake service including brake shoe inspection and replacement on drum brake systems, cable adjustment and replacement, wheel cylinder inspection on hydraulic systems, and the brake system assessment that confirms stopping performance is where it needs to be. For carts operating on hilly terrain or carrying passengers regularly, properly functioning brakes are non-negotiable — and a brake service from Ironclad is a straightforward investment in the safety of everyone who rides in the cart.

Golf Cart Tire & Wheel Service Golf cart tires wear unevenly, lose pressure, and eventually reach the end of their service life just like any other vehicle tire — and the right tire choice makes a meaningful difference in how the cart handles across different terrain types. Ironclad handles golf cart tire and wheel service including tire replacement across all standard golf cart sizes, lift kit compatible larger tire fitment, wheel bearing inspection and replacement, and the wheel and tire upgrades that are part of most custom cart builds. We carry and install a range of tire options from standard turf tires to all terrain tires for carts used on mixed surfaces, and custom wheel and tire combinations for builds where appearance is as important as function.

Golf Cart Electrical Diagnosis & Repair Modern golf carts — particularly electric models — have increasingly sophisticated electrical systems, and tracking down the source of an electrical problem without the right diagnostic approach can turn a straightforward repair into a frustrating and expensive process of elimination. Ironclad handles golf cart electrical diagnosis and repair including wiring inspection and repair, switch and solenoid testing and replacement, lighting circuit diagnosis, charging system assessment, onboard computer diagnosis on newer models, and the systematic troubleshooting that finds the actual source of an electrical problem rather than replacing components until something works. Given our broader electronics and electrical background, electrical diagnosis is an area where Ironclad brings genuine depth of knowledge rather than just basic familiarity with common failure points.

Street Legal Golf Cart Conversion South Carolina is one of the most golf cart friendly states in the country — and in communities across the Midlands, Lowcountry, and Grand Strand, street legal golf carts are a legitimate and enjoyable mode of local transportation that saves fuel, reduces wear on your primary vehicle, and makes neighborhood errands genuinely fun. Ironclad performs street legal golf cart conversions that bring a standard cart into compliance with South Carolina's requirements for operation on roads with speed limits of 35 mph or less. A legal street conversion includes all required equipment — headlights, tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, a rearview mirror, a windshield, a horn, and a speedometer — installed properly and wired correctly so everything functions reliably rather than failing after a few weeks. We also handle the documentation guidance to help you understand the registration and insurance requirements that accompany street legal operation in SC. The result is a cart that's genuinely road ready — not a cart with lights zip-tied on and fingers crossed at the next stop sign.

Golf Cart Lift Kit Installation A lift kit transforms what a golf cart can do — raising the ride height to accommodate larger tires, improving ground clearance for off-road use, and giving the cart the aggressive stance that separates a custom build from a stock unit. Ironclad installs golf cart lift kits across all major cart brands and lift heights, handling the suspension modification, spindle and A-arm work, and the larger tire and wheel fitment that completes the lifted look and feel. We pay particular attention to the steering geometry and brake system adjustments that a lift kit requires — because a lifted cart with improperly adjusted steering and brakes handles worse than a stock one, and the whole point of the upgrade is to make the cart more capable and more enjoyable to drive.

Golf Cart Custom Fabrication & Upgrades A custom golf cart is increasingly a genuine expression of personal style — and Ironclad's welding and fabrication capabilities open up upgrade possibilities that most golf cart shops simply can't offer. Custom brush guards, rear cargo racks, custom roof structures, tube bumpers, nerf bars, custom seating frameworks, and the various metal fabrication details that make a cart uniquely yours are all within our fabrication scope. We work with cart owners to design and build custom components that fit their specific cart, their intended use, and their aesthetic preferences — whether that's a utility-focused work cart built for a large property or a show-quality custom build that turns heads at every golf cart parade in the neighborhood.

Golf Cart Audio & Lighting Upgrades A quality sound system and well-designed lighting setup transforms the experience of riding a golf cart — whether you're cruising the neighborhood at dusk, hosting a tailgate, or navigating a campground after dark. Ironclad installs marine-rated audio systems on golf carts including Bluetooth head units, weather-resistant speakers, amplifiers, and subwoofers wired properly for the cart's electrical system. We also handle lighting upgrades including LED light bars, undercart accent lighting, custom headlight upgrades, and the decorative lighting setups that make a cart as visually distinctive at night as it is during the day. Given our electronics installation background and marine audio experience, golf cart audio and lighting is a natural fit — and the results are significantly more polished than the plug-and-play Bluetooth speaker sitting in a cupholder that most cart owners settle for.

ATV Tune-Ups & Maintenance An ATV that's properly maintained handles better, starts more reliably, and holds up longer under the hard use that off-road riding delivers — and staying current on service is significantly less expensive than addressing the mechanical failures that deferred maintenance eventually causes. Ironclad provides ATV tune-up and maintenance services across all brands and engine configurations including oil and filter changes, air filter service, spark plug replacement, fuel system service, coolant changes on liquid-cooled models, brake fluid service, chain and sprocket service on chain-drive ATVs, belt inspection and replacement on CVT-equipped models, and the general inspection that identifies developing issues before they sideline the machine mid-ride. Whether your ATV is due for its annual service or you're prepping it for a specific riding season or event, Ironclad will go through it thoroughly and return it ready to ride.

ATV Brake Service & Suspension Repair An ATV being pushed hard on trails puts significant stress on both brakes and suspension — and worn brake pads, low brake fluid, blown shocks, or worn suspension bushings that might be tolerable on a street vehicle become genuine safety and handling concerns on terrain that demands quick responses and confident control. Ironclad handles ATV brake service including pad and shoe replacement, brake fluid flushes, brake line inspection, and hydraulic system diagnosis, as well as suspension service including shock absorber assessment and replacement, A-arm bushing replacement, ball joint inspection, and the suspension work that restores the handling confidence and ride quality an ATV should deliver. If your ATV has developed handling quirks, unusual tire wear, or a ride that feels significantly harsher than it used to, a suspension inspection from Ironclad is the right first step.

ATV Tire & Wheel Service ATV tires take hard abuse from rocks, roots, mud, and the constant lateral loads of aggressive cornering — and a tire that's worn past its useful life, punctured, or simply wrong for the terrain being ridden is a handling and safety liability regardless of how capable the machine is underneath it. Ironclad handles ATV tire and wheel service including tire replacement across all standard ATV sizes and terrain types, puncture repair where the damage allows, wheel bearing inspection and replacement, and the tire selection advice that helps you choose the right compound and tread pattern for your specific riding conditions. We carry and install mud tires, all terrain tires, and sport tires — and we'll tell you honestly which type will actually improve your riding experience versus which ones the aftermarket just makes look appealing.

ATV Aftermarket Upgrades & Accessories An ATV can be significantly more capable, more comfortable, and more suited to its intended use with the right aftermarket upgrades — and Ironclad handles the installation of the performance, protection, and utility upgrades that make your machine work harder and last longer. Upgrades within our scope include exhaust system upgrades, intake modifications, winch installation, skid plate installation, hand guard and protection equipment fitting, storage and rack systems, lighting upgrades, and the custom fabrication work that adds capability the factory never built in. Given our welding background, custom ATV fabrication — custom racks, bumpers, roll protection, and utility frameworks — is an area where Ironclad delivers results that no bolt-on catalog product can match.

ATV Winch Installation & Electrical Accessories A winch is one of the most practically valuable accessories an ATV can have — and one that needs to be installed correctly to be reliable when you actually need it, which is almost always in a situation where reliable is non-negotiable. Ironclad installs ATV winches of all sizes and brands, handling the mounting, electrical connection, fairlead installation, and control wiring that makes a winch system work properly and last. We also handle the broader category of ATV electrical accessories — LED light bars, auxiliary lighting, phone and GPS mounting with power, and the various 12V accessories that make an ATV more capable and more useful without the wiring mess that most DIY electrical additions eventually become.
