Starter & Ignition FAQs
How long do ignition starters last?
A starter motor can often last around 100,000 to 150,000 miles, although its lifespan varies based on driving habits, vehicle use, and component quality. If you notice slow cranking, clicking sounds, or intermittent starting problems, have the starting system inspected.
Are the ignition and starter the same thing?
No, the ignition system and starter are separate parts that work together to start your vehicle. The ignition switch initiates the starting process, while the starter motor uses electrical power from the battery to crank the engine.
Can a bad starter drain a battery?
A malfunctioning starter can draw excessive electrical current and place additional strain on the battery. If starting problems continue, having the battery, starter, and related electrical connections inspected can help identify the cause.
What makes a starter go bad?
Starter problems can be caused by loose or corroded electrical connections, worn internal components, or electrical faults. Normal wear over time can also reduce the starter's ability to crank the engine reliably.
Do I need a new key if I replace the ignition switch?
Whether you need a new key depends on your vehicle and the type of ignition system it uses. Some modern vehicles may require a replacement key or programming so the key and vehicle's security system work properly with the new ignition components.

Thank you to Bryan and Alex and the other gentleman whose name i did not get. My sons car had died and one problem turned into another - the car went into some sort of theft mode where the horn was honking etc. anyhow- they came to my house not once but twice and got it all figured out and changed the battery.
