Founder of Cartzilla Golf Cart Parts & Accessories

Cartzilla was built by a golf cart owner who understands how difficult it can be to find dependable parts, clear fitment information, and real customer support.

Built by an owner, not a distributor

Cartzilla was founded by Gene Zentko, a Florida-based entrepreneur who has spent years owning, maintaining, modifying, and upgrading golf carts.

That hands-on experience shapes how Cartzilla operates. The goal is not to create another oversized parts warehouse. It is to offer carefully selected products, straightforward information, honest pricing, and support from people who understand the questions golf cart owners actually have.

Why Cartzilla exists

Golf carts are everyday transportation throughout Central Florida, especially around The Villages. Gene repeatedly encountered generic parts that did not fit properly, unreliable sellers, and confusing options for EZGO, Club Car, and Yamaha owners. Cartzilla was created to make finding the right parts simpler and more dependable.

Customer service philosophy

Gene’s approach is simple: treat every customer the way he would want to be treated while buying parts for his own cart. That means practical answers, straightforward policies, responsive support, and a commitment to helping customers select the correct product whenever possible.

Hands-on golf cart experience

Gene remains actively involved in the golf cart community. His experience includes electrical systems, lithium batteries, controllers, motors, suspension, steering, lift kits, accessories, and the routine maintenance issues golf cart owners regularly encounter.

That firsthand knowledge influences which products are offered on Cartzilla and how product information is presented to customers.
