Starters

SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT

Vehicle Starter Service Canton Ohio

A faulty starter in your vehicle will leave you stranded, since it is the component that gets your car running. This small motor is powered by the battery and transmits power to turn the engine over. It runs only when you start your car, but to do this it must run at full capacity each time it is engaged.

Know the signs

A failing starter may appear to be a weak battery. At HD Auto, we suggest having your starter checked if you observe any of the following:

  • The engine begins turning over slowly
  • The engine doesn’t turn over at all, even with a jumpstart
  • You hear clicking or a grinding or whirring sound when engaging the starter
  • The dashboard lights come on but the car won’t start
  • You observe smoke coming from the starter or battery

Protect your starter

Our technicians will fully inspect your starter motor and assembly if you suspect an issue. While problems may be caused by loose wiring or dirty connections, sometimes the starter fails due to routine wear and tear. The best way to protect your starter is to ensure your battery and electrical system are properly maintained, so as not to cause additional wear on the starter.

Contact the professionals at HD Auto for guidance on care for your starter motor and assembly, as well as checkups of your battery and electrical system.
