Starter & Ignition FAQs
How long do ignition starters last?
Typically, the starter in your vehicle can last between 100,000 and 150,000 miles. With diligent maintenance, you might extend its lifespan even further. It's important to recognize early signs of wear to keep your starter in optimal condition for as long as possible.
Are the ignition and starter the same thing?
The starter motor, located near the transmission on the passenger side, is crucial for starting the engine, using the battery's power to turn the engine. The ignition switch, found on the steering column, signals the starter motor to activate.
Can a bad starter drain a battery?
If a starter motor is failing, it may draw excessive current, which can strain and eventually drain the battery, especially if the vehicle struggles to start.
What makes a starter go bad?
Poor electrical connections, often due to looseness or corrosion, are common culprits behind starter issues. Internally, worn components like the motor's windings or brushes can also fail, reducing the starter's ability to crank the engine.
Do I need a new key if I replace the ignition switch?
For older vehicles, you might continue using the existing key when replacing the ignition switch. However, modern cars with advanced security features usually require a new key to ensure the system remains secure and functions correctly.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Before coming to the shop my only intention was to get my front left headlight replaced. After they explained how much simpler it would be to replace both at the same time, I decided that it was a better option to do that. So, both headlights were replaced-which would've saved time on being in a shop. Before that, I kept going in, one after the other to replace. This makes much more sense. Also, there was an electrical issue I had been dealing with for the longest time in my Subaru, and for the first time, this specific shop did a diagnosis and predetermined what the problem could be! Amazing! I was at a complete loss before they had looked at it. Being that I decided to get an entirely new vehicle, I no longer required their services. But, I would've had the opportunity to have my electrical system fixed, for the first time while owning it. My air filter also felt to be cleaned out too! It smelled so much fresher after this visit. Being that all of this was done within just a couple of hours, no waiting period for parts to come in and an air conditioned room with Netflix to sit in. I'd recommend this spot every time. If you find yourself in a pinch or just wanting to work with authentically great people who put you first, this spot is the place for you. Great service, fast paced, great quality, and such amazingly friendly staff who are experienced and knowledgeable as well as understanding and open to helping you understand what's going on as well (and I'm speaking as I know absolutely nothing about cars).
