The starter motor is an essential component of your car’s starting system. It is responsible for turning the engine over and getting it running. Over time, the starter motor may become worn or damaged, and it may need to be repaired or replaced.
Signs that your starter needs replacement:
- The engine cranks slowly or doesn’t crank at all when you turn the key
- You hear a clicking sound when you turn the key, but the engine doesn’t start
- The starter motor makes a grinding noise when you try to start the engine
If you suspect that your starter motor needs to be repaired or replaced, you should bring your car to one of our qualified mechanics at Lowell’s Auto Repair. We will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend the best course of action.
Starter motor repair may involve replacing or repairing specific components, such as the starter solenoid or brushes. The cost of repair will depend on the specific issue and the make and model of your car.
If your starter motor cannot be repaired, you may need to have it replaced. A new starter motor will typically cost between $100 and $500, depending on the make and model of your car.
Starter motor replacement is a complex job and should be performed by a qualified mechanic. They will need to remove the old starter motor and install the new one, which may require removing other components from your car.
