In Sayulita, golf carts are part of daily life. They carry families to the beach, surfers to the break and groceries up the hill. Behind a lot of them is Gustavo, who has spent more than half his life learning how to build, fix and bring these carts back to life.

Gustavo’s Golf Carts offers golf cart rentals plus maintenance, tires, paint and remodeling. We asked Gustavo about how he got started and what sets his shop apart.

It Started at 15

Gustavo came to Sayulita when he was 15 and landed a job at a local golf cart shop. Little by little, it became his passion. He learned how carts are built, how they’re repaired and how to give an old one a new life. He also saw how much people loved getting around town in them.

His first boss taught him much more than mechanics. “He always encouraged me to have goals and a purpose,” Gustavo says. “He told me, ‘You’re very smart. You’re going to achieve whatever you set your mind to.’ Those words stayed with me.”

After years of work and learning, Gustavo opened his own business 10 years ago. It has been growing step by step ever since.

His biggest motivation is his family. “My kids and my wife are what drive me to grow, work and build a better future for us every day.”

Honest Work, Every Time

Ask Gustavo what makes his shop different and the answer is simple: transparency, friendliness and standing behind every job.

“We always tell customers what’s really going on with their cart, what it needs and what it costs, so they know exactly what they’ll be paying,” he says. “We stand behind our services and aim for every job to be 100% reliable.”

The shop runs on responsibility, empathy and kindness, with a team that shows up wanting to learn and keep improving.

What They Offer

• Golf cart rentals: four- and six-passenger carts
• Maintenance and repairs
• Tires
• Paint
• Remodeling

The part Gustavo loves most is taking a tired cart and repairing, painting and remodeling it until it looks great and rides comfortably.

Part of the Community

For Gustavo, giving back starts with creating jobs. His shop employs several people from the community, and he’s always tried to help others when he can.

He also sees the ripple effect of a rental. “When someone rents a cart, they can get around Sayulita more easily and visit beaches, restaurants and shops, which helps bring business to the whole community.”

Gustavo’s Sayulita

His favorite part of the day is the first cup of coffee before work. In fact, the smell of morning coffee is what Sayulita means to him.

His local tip? Panadería Casa Gourmet, a French bakery with great bread and delicious coffee.

Looking Ahead

The plan is to keep growing both the rentals and the shop, offer more complete service and keep creating jobs, all while earning the trust customers have placed in him.
