Starter issues can happen without warning. Knowing when to bring your vehicle in for a starter replacement can help save you time, money, and stress. Our shops in Oak Grove and Blue Springs provide this important service as part of our full list of auto repair and maintenance services.
What does a starter do?
The starter is a small motor that starts your engine when you turn the key or press the push-button ignition. It uses power from your battery to rotate the engine just long enough for it to begin running on its own. Once the engine is going, the starter’s job is done.
When this part wears out or breaks, your vehicle won’t start properly, or it might not start at all. In some cases, you may hear a clicking noise or notice that your lights work but the engine doesn’t turn over. This is a sign to request a starter replacement service.
Signs you may need starter replacement
It’s important to recognize the signs of a failing starter early. At Bird Automotive, we can inspect and determine whether a starter is the cause of your vehicle’s trouble. Here are some common signs:
- Clicking sound when turning the key
- No crank when starting
- The dashboard lights come on, but the engine stays off
- Smoke from under the hood
- Oil or fluid leaks around the starter
