Starter replacement

When your car won’t start it can be frustrating to say the least and it always happens at the worst possible time. Our starter replacement service ensures that your vehicle starts smoothly and reliably, getting you back on the road without needing a tow or a visit to an auto shop.

What is a starter replacement?

The starter is a key component of your vehicle’s ignition system. When you turn the key or press the start button, the starter motor engages the engine’s flywheel, allowing the engine to crank and start. Over time, the starter can wear out or fail due to electrical issues, mechanical wear, or exposure to heat and dirt.

Signs that your starter may need replacement include:

Clicking Sound When Starting: A clicking noise when turning the key often indicates a faulty solenoid or motor.

Engine Won’t Crank or Start: If the battery is fully charged but the engine doesn’t turn over, the starter may be the issue.

Intermittent Starting Problems: Sometimes the vehicle starts, sometimes it doesn’t—this could be a sign of a failing starter.

Grinding Noise: A worn-out starter may produce a grinding sound when trying to engage the engine.

Smoke or Burning Smell: An overheated or damaged starter can emit smoke or a burning odor.

A starter replacement service involves diagnosing the problem, removing the faulty starter, and installing a new one to restore smooth and reliable engine cranking.
