Golf Cart Repair Business Invoicing App (2026)
Golf cart repair is mobile service work — batteries, controllers, and tires done in a driveway or a community lot. ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) itemizes the service call, parts, and labor, takes approval by text, and charges a card on site, without the dealership inventory system a service-only business never uses.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, checked against each vendor's own pricing page or a recent third-party summary. Judged on the mobile service operator's real workflow — service-call quoting, on-site approval and payment, and recurring community accounts — not on dealership inventory, floorplan, or unit sales.
| Software | Starting price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| ShowTheReceipts That's us | $15/mo | Mobile cart techs: service-call and parts quoting, on-site payment, recurring community accounts |
| Billdu | $4.99/mo+ | Cheapest basic invoicing |
| ARI | $19.99/mo+ | Repair-order style invoices |
| Shift Industry | $60/mo+ | Shops handling service plus unit sales |
| Lightspeed DMS | Quote-based | Dealerships managing inventory and floorplan |
Nobody sells you software for this
Search golf cart software and you get dealer management systems: inventory, floorplan, F&I, sales desk. Every one of them assumes you sell units.
A service-only operator needs none of that. You need a repair order and a card reader.
1. ShowTheReceipts — $15/mo
Service call, parts, and labor itemized on a phone, approved by text, charged on site. Communities can be billed as one consolidated account.
2. Billdu — $4.99/mo+
The cheapest basic invoicing option.
3. ARI — $19.99/mo+
Repair-order style invoicing for small shops.
4. Shift Industry — $60/mo+
Service plus sales for a shop with a building.
5. Lightspeed DMS — quote-based
Full dealership management. Enormous, and not aimed at you.
The community account is the business
One retirement community with four hundred carts beats a hundred one-off calls. Bill it as a single monthly statement and you become the obvious vendor to keep.
Frequently asked questions
Why not use golf cart dealership software?
Dealer systems are built around unit inventory, floorplan financing, and F&I paperwork. If you only fix carts, that's an entire sales department's worth of software you'll pay for and never open.
How should a battery replacement be invoiced?
Batteries as their own line at your price, labor separately, and a core charge or old-pack disposal line if you handle removal. Battery jobs are the biggest tickets in this trade, so the itemization is what keeps them from being negotiated down.
Can I bill a retirement community or resort on account?
Yes — set the community up as a customer with recurring or consolidated invoicing, so a month of small cart repairs bills as one statement instead of thirty tickets nobody wants to process.
Should I charge a service-call fee for a lot visit?
Yes, though it's fair to waive it when several carts are serviced in one trip. Pricing it explicitly and then discounting it reads far better than never charging it at all.
