AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums The Cayes Environment Go Green What would be the reaction if electric golf carts

Jesse, if you can do it I will cough up. I am having a very hard time believing that there is even one FACTORY authorized mechanic on this island for anything other than Yamaha, Polaris or any other small vehicle/marine engine.

What difference does a qualified mechanic make? A huge difference. If you can't maintain a vehicle to factory/warranty standards you are not likely to be able to maintain the emissions standards either.

It's not a small quantity either. Almost every car or truck that comes onto the island seems to rapidly degrade into a piece of crap that spews emissions and fluids and heavily impacts the environment.

One thought, do any of these "authorized mechanics" of Jesse's have the ability to read the vehicle computer?

Thanks Simon, words well spoken, I'll add another case of beer!

Show me a mechanic who is GM certified for warranty work, and I'll bring them down a Tech 1 with a GM chip in it.

Lots of them in Belize City, I know of more then one person that brings them to the Island to tune up there vehicles.

I could probably get certified as a GM mechanic (up to 1970.) Anything else is a whole different ball game.

I don't really understand their complexities or how they work, I just happen to have one around.....

I also have a wife

Up to 1970....I wish, and contrary to popular belief there are certified mechs in Belize who have factory training.. up to date training and are very good at thier tasks, and everyone that I have met that owns "the big dark gas guzzeler" utilizes there services... so my question is whats your point? I don't agree that the the cars and trucks should be on ambergris caye, but they are...

But we're talking about mechanics on AC not the mainland.

No they are in Belize City, but the majority of the people I know that own a newer vehicle bring them out to tune up there vehicles, usually once a month, I am not saying everyone who owns a car or truck does this , but there are a number of people who utilize thire services. I know this because they usually do this at my place of work.
