Starter & Ignition FAQs


How long do ignition starters last?

Typically, the starter in your vehicle can last between 100,000 and 150,000 miles. With diligent maintenance, you might extend its lifespan even further. It's important to recognize early signs of wear to keep your starter in optimal condition for as long as possible.

Are the ignition and starter the same thing?

The starter motor, located near the transmission on the passenger side, is crucial for starting the engine, using the battery's power to turn the engine. The ignition switch, found on the steering column, signals the starter motor to activate.

Can a bad starter drain a battery?

If a starter motor is failing, it may draw excessive current, which can strain and eventually drain the battery, especially if the vehicle struggles to start.

What makes a starter go bad?

Poor electrical connections, often due to looseness or corrosion, are common culprits behind starter issues. Internally, worn components like the motor's windings or brushes can also fail, reducing the starter's ability to crank the engine.

Do I need a new key if I replace the ignition switch?

For older vehicles, you might continue using the existing key when replacing the ignition switch. However, modern cars with advanced security features usually require a new key to ensure the system remains secure and functions correctly.

What our clients are saying about us

We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!

The owners and operators of this place deserve the world. I failed my emissions test yesterday and was originally quoted at $200 for inspection. The inspection went much more quickly than expected and they were able to fix the issue with very little effort. They ended up not charging me a penny because it was such an easy fix. I am immensely grateful to Liz and Mike for saving me an anxiety inducing expense. Unmatched customer service, truly! quotes-image

I had my 2022 F-150 inspected at Rev Auto after purchasing it, and this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with an auto repair shop. The service advisor Liz was friendly and knowledgeable, and she did a great job of explaining everything in a way that helped me make informed decisions. Their inspection was incredibly thorough. They documented everything with photos, took a sample of my transmission fluid before recommending service, and even gave me an honest assessment of the truck’s undercarriage and light surface rust. At no point did I feel pressured into unnecessary repairs. Instead, they took the time to answer my questions, explain their recommendations, and help me prioritize maintenance. What impressed me most was that they actually talked me out of a more expensive transmission fluid because it wasn’t necessary for how I use my truck. That level of honesty is rare. It’s hard to find a shop that combines technical expertise with integrity and excellent customer service, but I think I found one. Rev Auto has earned my trust, and they’ve definitely become my go-to shop for my truck. Highly recommend.quotes-image
