Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my starter motor is failing?
Common signs of a failing starter motor include a clicking sound when turning the key, the engine not cranking, slow or laboured starts, or intermittent starting issues. If your battery is fully charged but the engine still won’t turn over, your starter motor might be the culprit. Getting it checked early can help avoid being stranded down the track. That’s why it’s important to take action fast when you notice any of the warning signs mentioned.
Can a bad starter drain my battery?
Yes, a faulty starter motor can draw excess current, especially if it’s sticking or struggling to turn over. Over time, this can put added strain on your battery and reduce its lifespan. If your battery keeps going flat and you’re having trouble starting your vehicle, the starter motor may need inspection or replacement. It can be a huge pain in the long haul finding out that your starter motor was the real reason you spent time and money on battery replacements.
How long does it take to replace a starter motor?
Most starter motor replacements can be completed within 1 to 2 hours, depending on the make and model of your vehicle and the complexity of the job. Our team works efficiently to minimise downtime while making sure the new unit is installed correctly and thoroughly tested before you hit the road. We’ll make sure that we communicate expected timeframes of the necessary repairs well in advance so you can plan your day around them.
What causes a starter motor to fail?
Starter motors can fail due to general wear and tear, electrical issues, corrosion, or a build-up of dirt and grime. Excessive cranking, poor connections, or issues with related components like the battery or ignition switch can also cause failure. Regular maintenance checks can help detect early signs and prevent sudden breakdowns.
Is it safe to drive with a failing starter motor?
Driving with a failing starter motor can be risky, as your vehicle may not start again once turned off. It’s best to get it inspected as soon as you notice any warning signs. Delaying replacement could leave you stranded and may even lead to damage in other parts of the starting system.
Do you use genuine or aftermarket parts?
At Autospark, we offer both genuine and high-quality aftermarket starter motors, depending on your preference and budget. All our parts are sourced from trusted suppliers and installed by experienced technicians. We’ll recommend the most suitable option for your vehicle to ensure reliability, performance, and long-term peace of mind.
