Starter Repair & Replacement Service at Shingle Springs Subaru Service Center

January 16, 2019

There are a variety of things that could go wrong on your car that prevent the engine from starting when you turn the key -- but if the engine won't even crank, then a bad starter is likely to blame. If you're greeted with silence when you turn the key in your ignition, you may be in need of a replacement. Thankfully, replacing a bad starter is a commonplace repair that our technicians carry out often at the Shingle Springs Subaru service center.

Does my Car Really Need a New Starter? Why?

If the engine cranks when you turn the key, but the engine won't run under its own power, you can point to a problem with the ignition or the fuel system. You might need something like a new fuel pump, a new ignition cylinder or another part elsewhere in the system.

However, as we said above, an engine that doesn't even crank probably has a starter problem. Using energy from the battery, the starter gives the engine its initial "push" that allows it to begin running under its own power. If the starter motor wears out, or the starter gear breaks, it'll need to be replaced before your car will start up again without the aid of a jump start.

In any case, you'll be in need of a repair before you'll be hitting the road again. Treat yourself to the outstanding service at Shingle Springs Subaru and you can rest easy knowing that certified Subaru pros are working on your vehicle. Your car will be fixed correctly so that it starts up smoothly and confidently every time.
