E-Z-GO no longer provides technical support
I just called EZ-GO technical support (three times to be sure) and was informed by “Katy” that EZ-GO no longer provides ANY technical support to individual customers. Only technical to dealers.
I was told even a simple technical questions (i.e tire pressures, torque values, etc) WILL NOT be answered. Seems ridiculous and a great way to loose customers and reputation. |

Re: E-Z-GO no longer provides technical support
I wonder if its the same deal for non franchised independent dealers/shops.
In my case I'm close to an EZGO dealer but if I had to take it to him for service/repair I might as well sell it. |

Re: E-Z-GO no longer provides technical support
That is an interesting stand to take being they sell parts to individuals. But I can imagine that cutting out the TS cleared some employees off the payroll and saves some bucks...... plus where else are you gonna go for OEM parts ?

Re: E-Z-GO no longer provides technical support
The solution is simple, and applies to anyone who thinks they're going to work on their own stuff. Buy A Real Factory service manual (or find one on the internet). I like the real book version over the PDF myself. I always do that before I need it on anything I buy used. I don't recall seeing anywhere "free tech support for life".

I completely agree and I have the Service Manual and Parts Manual. However, my technical question is not covered in either. Specifically, if I follow the Service Manual’s recommendation for Jack-stands (see diagram) my 2Five lifts its front wheels of the ground and teeters back on its rear wheels. I think this is happening because of the heavy backwards facing seat and 6 battery layout. I wonder if the recommended jack stand layout is intended for the 2-Passenger, 4 battery 2Five. Since I will be crawling under the cart I would have liked a direct recommendation from E-Z-GO instead of a dealers recommendation. On a happy note: A bit of silicone grease has silenced the squeaking front leaf springs bushings...for now. IMG_0691.jpg |

Re: E-Z-GO no longer provides technical support
Basic business. First cut staff and services of an "expendable branch" to increase profitability. Push servicing of brand to localities, thereby supporting local dealers and building of their business.. and your own bottom line. Their core is building carts for large clients not servicing for the individual.

2. Now without knowing the true CG you want the Manufacture to tell you where to jack the cart so it will be safe for you to crawl underneath and work on the cart. Is that right? No wonder they hung up TGIF |
