About Coastal Cars & Carts

We are Coastal Cars & Carts, a family-owned and operated business proudly serving Panama City Beach and the surrounding areas. Our roots run deep in family values, dedication, and a passion for helping others with exceptional service.

Coastal Cars & Carts began with a vision-one fueled by Gary Ellis' family, community, and a love for all things automotive. After retiring as an industrial engineer, Gary saw an opportunity to make a difference in his community, providing reliable, high-quality golf carts backed by honest, dependable service. Alongside his wife Terri, he built the business on the foundation of hard work, integrity, and customer care. What started as a small family business quickly became a lasting legacy-one that his daughter Kate and nephew Matt have been part of since the very beginning. Working side by side with Gary, they helped shape Coastal Cars & Carts into what it is today, growing it from a vision into a trusted name in the community

Located in the Beach Commerce Industrial Park off Highway 98 in Panama City Beach, our five-acre complex is your one-stop destination for new and used golf carts, parts, service, and accessories. We specialize in offering high-quality, affordable carts tailored to meet your needs, whether you're looking for a reliable ride around the neighborhood or a custom cart that reflects your style.

At Coastal Cars & Carts, our commitment goes beyond sales. Our service department is known for its quick turnaround times, often completing repairs in under a week-a stark contrast to the industry standard of up to three weeks. Every used cart we sell undergoes a thorough inspection to ensure it meets our high standards for safety and performance.

While you're here, don't miss a visit to Gary's collection of classic cars, a testament to his lifelong love for all things automotive. Our unique space is filled with vintage vehicles, neon signs, and a dash of nostalgia, reflecting the same passion and attention to detail that we bring to our business.

But what truly sets us apart is our dedication to our customers. We believe in going the extra mile, ensuring every cart meets our highest standards and every customer feels valued. When you choose Coastal Cars & Carts, you're not just buying a cart-you're joining our family. From your first visit to every ride after, we're here to provide the same care and commitment we'd give our own. Thank you for supporting our family business. We look forward to serving you!
