ARC is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Cart Guard Protection. ARC has been named the exclusive provider of Cart Guard vehicle service contracts for golf cart dealers in Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Tennessee, and Texas. This partnership gives golf cart dealers across six states a rare opportunity: the ability to offer a premium, fully insured line of protection products, backed by the same F&I team that has helped dealers grow profit and build lasting customer relationships.
For dealers who have been searching for a way to add value to every sale, protect long term customer relationships, and grow revenue without adding overhead, this announcement is worth your full attention.
A Proven F&I Partner Behind Every Sale
ARC is a finance and insurance solutions company with a track record of helping dealers grow profit through proven products and proven processes. Cart Guard joins that lineup as our newest premium offering, and every dealer who adds it gains more than a product. ARC's F&I team provides hands on training and proven selling techniques, so dealers who are new to F&I can start with confidence, and experienced teams can push their numbers even higher.
What Is Cart Guard?
Cart Guard is an exclusionary vehicle service contract built specifically for golf carts and low speed vehicles. Exclusionary coverage means every system and component is covered except for items specifically listed as exclusions in the service agreement, giving customers broad, easy to understand protection. Covered systems include:
-
Engine, transmission, and drive axle assembly
-
Electric motor, main controller, and speed controller
-
Lithium battery pack and charging system
-
Suspension, steering, and braking systems
-
Electrical system, gauges, and GPS
-
Fluids, seals, gaskets, and fasteners tied to a covered repair
Cart Guard also offers a dedicated Lifetime Battery Program, addressing what is often the single most expensive component on a modern golf cart. Customers receive day one coverage with no mileage restrictions, and every contract is transferable to the next owner, which helps protect resale value long after the original sale. Additional customer benefits include rental cart reimbursement, service call reimbursement, pickup and delivery reimbursement, and diagnostic coverage tied to a covered repair. Together, these features make Cart Guard one of the most complete protection products available in the golf cart market today.
Why This Partnership Matters for Your Dealership
This exclusive arrangement was built with dealer success in mind. Three reasons this partnership deserves a place in your sales process:
-
Increase profit on every sale. Vehicle service contracts are a proven finance and insurance product. Offering Cart Guard at the point of sale gives your team an additional, reliable revenue stream on top of the unit sale itself, with no added inventory cost or floor plan exposure.
-
Protect your customers and retain their business. A customer who knows their cart is protected is a customer who calls you first when something goes wrong, not a competitor or an independent repair shop. Cart Guard keeps your service bay busy, strengthens the relationship you built at the point of sale, and turns a one time transaction into an ongoing reason for the customer to return.
-
Learn from a partner with a proven track record. ARC does not simply hand you a product and walk away. Our F&I specialists work directly with your team, offering hands on training and proven techniques so dealers who are new to F&I can get started with confidence, and experienced teams can increase per unit profit. This partnership pairs Cart Guard's premium coverage with ARC's history of turning F&I into one of the most profitable departments at dealerships.
Common Questions About Cart Guard
Is Cart Guard's battery coverage really lifetime, and does it have mileage limits?
Yes. The Lifetime Battery Program covers the lithium battery pack and charging system from day one, with no mileage restrictions. That's the piece of the cart most likely to cost real money to replace, and it's covered from the moment the contract starts.
What happens to the contract if the cart is sold?
It transfers to the next owner. That's a selling point dealers can use in the moment, since a transferable service contract makes the cart easier to resell down the road, not just easier to own.
Does Cart Guard cover the electrical and control systems, or just mechanical parts?
Both. Coverage includes the motor, main controller, and speed controller alongside the transmission, drive axle, suspension, steering, and braking systems. Because it's exclusionary coverage, customers aren't stuck cross-referencing a list of what's included. Everything's covered unless it's specifically excluded.
What does the customer get beyond repair coverage?
Rental cart reimbursement, service call reimbursement, pickup and delivery reimbursement, and diagnostic coverage tied to a covered repair. It's built to keep the customer moving and keep them coming back to your service bay instead of shopping around.
