Coteau Custom Carts: “The Golf Cart Guys”
David Mallet with wife, Monica, and son, Cody.
Coteau Custom Carts, a trusted local business, has been serving Acadiana for over a decade, offering stylish and custom electric vehicles (EVs) to meet all your golf cart needs. Owned and operated by David Mallet and his family, the company has built a solid reputation for delivering top-quality carts and exceptional customer service. Whether you're looking for a new EV or want to upgrade your current ride, Coteau Custom Carts has become the go-to spot for personalized, reliable solutions.
David’s journey into the world of EVs started with a simple hobby—buying used golf carts, refurbishing them, and reselling them. He also dabbled in repairs, fixing carts from a variety of brands. What began as a passion project eventually evolved into a full-fledged business in 2017, when Coteau Custom Carts was officially established.
“My business is family-owned and operated,” David says proudly. “Having family help run the business brings me great joy.” His son Cody manages the daily operations, while his wife Monica handles the office management and serves as vice president. The family dynamic doesn’t end there—David’s daughter and even his grandkids pitch in occasionally, creating a true family-run business with a personal touch.
The team at Coteau Custom Carts doesn’t stop with family. Justin Dutile, a trusted friend, is the lead technician and service manager. He works closely with Shannon Suire, the versatile "all-around guy" who even handles the custom upholstery work. Christian Webb rounds out the team, handling pickups, deliveries, and mechanic work. Together, they form a close-knit, dedicated group, and when you walk through the doors of Coteau Custom Carts, you’ll always be greeted by a familiar face.
At Coteau Custom Carts, customer satisfaction is at the heart of everything they do. David is personally involved in every step of the process, from initial consultations to final delivery, ensuring that every customer’s needs are met with care and patience. “We take great pride in making sure each customer leaves happy,” David shares. “Pushing unnecessary upgrades to increase profit is not something you will ever encounter here. Instead, we use our experience and expertise to make sure each customer receives exactly what they want and need to get the most out of their EV.”
This dedication has earned Coteau Custom Carts a loyal customer base, many of whom have become more like family than clients. David is grateful for the positive reviews, recommendations, and repeat business that have fueled the company’s success, allowing them to grow and expand their services.
One area where Coteau Custom Carts truly stands out is in the brands they carry and the expertise they offer. As Acadiana’s official dealer for Evolution, Venom, Icon, and Star EVs, they have access to some of the best electric vehicles on the market. They also stock parts, accessories, and now utility trailers for most major golf cart brands, making them a one-stop shop for all your EV and hauling needs.
The company is especially proud of its state-of-the-art, climate-controlled repair service center, where its team of experienced mechanics works on everything from routine maintenance to custom upgrades. One of the key areas of expertise at Coteau Custom Carts is their knowledge of lithium batteries, which are standard on all new EVs they sell.
If you’re wondering what makes lithium batteries so special, David is happy to explain. Compared to traditional acid batteries, lithium batteries offer several advantages:
- Reduced weight: Lithium batteries significantly reduce the weight of your golf cart, which improves speed and maneuverability.
- Longevity: Lithium batteries last longer over time, giving you more value for your investment.
- Maintenance-free: Unlike acid batteries, lithium batteries don’t require regular maintenance, saving you time and hassle.
- Eco-friendly: With no risk of acid spills, lithium batteries are a more environmentally friendly option.
- Cost-effective: While the upfront cost may be higher, lithium batteries are cheaper per hour of use in the long run.
- More power and speed: Lithium batteries provide more power, resulting in faster acceleration and higher speeds.
- Temperature resilience: Lithium batteries are less vulnerable to extreme temperature changes, making them more reliable in various weather conditions.
In addition to these benefits, Coteau Custom Carts offers financing as low as 0% interest on all models—both new and used. This makes it easier than ever to get behind the wheel of a top-quality electric vehicle without breaking the bank.
Whether you're in the market for a brand-new EV or looking to upgrade your current golf cart, Coteau Custom Carts has the expertise, products, and customer service to meet your needs. As David proudly says, “When people see us, they always say, ‘That’s the golf cart guys!’” And once you’ve experienced their service, you’ll know exactly why they’ve earned that reputation.
For David Mallet and his family, Coteau Custom Carts isn’t just a business; it’s a way of life.
