When your vehicle won't start, few things are more frustrating than a failing starter. At Rebuild Masters, we understand the importance of a reliable starting system, which is why our remanufactured starters offer the perfect combination of quality, performance, and value. Here's everything you need to know about choosing remanufactured starters for your vehicle.
Understanding Remanufactured Starters
A remanufactured starter isn't simply a used part – it's a completely rebuilt component that undergoes extensive restoration. At Rebuild Masters, our remanufactured starters are crafted in the USA using new components where critical performance is required. Each starter is disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt to meet or exceed original equipment specifications.
Signs Your Starter Needs Replacement
Recognizing starter problems early can save you from being stranded. Watch for these warning signs:
- Engine cranks slowly or won't turn over
- Clicking sound when turning the key
- Intermittent starting issues
- Dashboard lights dim when starting
- Grinding noise during startup
- Starter continues running after engine starts
