Starter Replacement and Starting System Service in Eagan, MN
The starter is an important component of the electrical system that helps the engine to turn over when you go to start your vehicle. It is connected to a number of critical electrical parts such as the battery, the ignition switch, and various fuses and relays. When you turn or push the ignition, your battery sends an electrical charge to the starter. The starter motor will then activate the gear connected to the engine’s crankshaft, which will turn the engine over.
A typical sign of a bad starter is a clicking sound when you try to start your car, but the engine never starts up. Here at Honest-1 Auto Care Eagan East, we are here to help when you find yourself needing a starter replacement. We invite you to bring your vehicle into our Eagan East auto repair shop as soon as you have trouble starting your car for an inspection. The electrical system is a complicated one, and our experts can perform specific tests to get to the bottom of the issue in a timely manner.
Signs of a bad starter include the following:
- Starter only works sometimes
- Starter turns very slowly
- Grinding or other unusual noises when starting your car
- Car won’t start
If you suspect that you need a new starter, our professionals will perform tests to determine if the issue is indeed stemming from a faulty starter, or if it is actually just a dying battery, faulty switch, or other electrical system issue. Since many of these parts are connected and work together, the problem could be caused by something other than the starter itself.
