Bird Automotive’s Starter Replacement
When your car won’t start, it’s easy to assume the battery is the issue. While replacing car batteries can solve many no-start problems, a faulty starter motor is another common cause. At Bird Automotive in Lee’s Summit, MO, we help drivers find out what’s really going on and get them back to driving on the road.
The starter is responsible for turning the engine over when you turn the key or press the start button. If it fails, the engine will not crank, even if the lights and electronics still work. That is where accurate auto electrical repair comes in. Our team checks the full starting and charging system so you are not paying for parts you don’t need.

Signs your starter may be failing
A bad starter does not always stop working right away. Sometimes you’ll see a few signs that something is wrong before it completely stops. For example, when you try to start the car you might hear a “clicking” sound. Or, you might not hear anything at all. And, sometimes even after you replace the car battery the engine will still crank slowly.
Another thing to look out for is when the car starts sometimes and not others. The car might start fine one day and then have trouble starting the very next day. These problems can be similar to issues with the battery or the alternator because the alternator helps power systems in the car when it’s running. That is why it is important to allow experts like us to do testing before fixing anything with the starter or the car battery or the alternator.
