Remanufactured starters

All modern cars have a starter. This device simplifies the driver's task in starting their vehicle. Indeed, in the absence of a starter, it would have been obligatory to start the car the old-fashioned way, that is to say, engage a gear and ask another person to push the car. This very outdated way of doing things is no longer relevant since the advent of the starter. Which means that this device is used every day, from the moment you start your car.

Regularly used, the starter can fail. In such a case, motorists consider replacing it, which has a significant cost. However, it is possible to save money by opting for starter remanufacturing. Before highlighting the ins and outs of this approach, it would be good to allow you to know more about this essential part of the car.


What is a starter?

The starter is an electric motor which is activated to start the thermal engine and initiate its start-up. To put it simply, the role of the starter is to help the heat engine start. All the driver has to do is turn the ignition key of their car for the starter to activate.

The starter is a very important mechanical component, even essential for all modern vehicles because without it, it is practically impossible to start the main engine. If the starter is damaged or no longer works, the only solution is to replace this essential part.

This accessory is made up of two large parts. We can in fact distinguish the solenoid which, when the vehicle is started, comes into action and powers the second part of the starter, that is to say the electric motor.


How does a starter work?

It is necessary that sufficient rotation be made for the car engine to operate. This impulse is possible thanks to the starter which is powered by the battery. This gives a higher torque to the resistive torque as well as to the torque of the vehicle engine. You should know that the resistant torque depends on the parts connected to the motor and which are set in motion at start-up. When the driver turns the ignition key, the solenoid, or control relay, receives current and transmits it to the car's engine, which immediately starts.


What is starter remanufacturing?

When the starter fails, the car will not start when the ignition key is turned. The only thing to do is to push the vehicle, which is not very classy!

There are many reasons for starter failure. However, most are linked to an electrical contact problem. Among the most common breakdowns, we can cite the one whose alert is given by an unpleasant noise. In fact, the starter makes a “clack-clack” sound when starting the vehicle without the engine running. This means that the “relay” contact is not made in the solenoid, a situation due, among other things, to wear of the contact points or too much dust.

Whatever the fault that has occurred on the starter, a solution must be found and remanufacturing is one of them. This is a method of restoring the starter to its original state. This operation is carried out by experts who follow a whole process.

To obtain a remanufactured starter to perfection, the part must be completely disassembled. The specialists then wash it at high pressure before replacing the bearing balls and bushings. In remanufacturing, the launcher is refurbished, as is the solenoid. It is also essential to test the carcass to be sure that everything is perfect.

Specialists never deliver a remanufactured starter without carrying out tests. This allows them to have the assurance that its operation is correct and trustworthy.


Why is a remanufactured starter better?

Starter remanufacturing is an economical process. Indeed, when we make a comparison between the price of this service and that of purchasing a new part, we can clearly see that there is no comparison!

In addition, the starter is like new after remanufacturing and works wonderfully. In addition, professionals provide guarantees following delivery.

This is therefore a reliable operation that you should think about if your starter fails one of these four.
