If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think about your starter very often. Sure, it might start your car, but beyond that, it’s pretty unremarkable. However, if you want to keep your car running well for years to come, it’s important to know how to change your starter. In this blog post, we will explore the costs and procedures involved in changing a starter. ###
What Parts of A Starter Can Be Changed
If your car is equipped with a starter, it’s likely that you can change the part yourself. The cost of changing a starter varies depending on the make and model of your car, but in general, it should cost around $30 to $60.
The first step is to locate the part you need. Starter assemblies for most cars are usually located near the engine under the hood. Once you have located the assembly, you’ll need to remove the cover. On some models, this may be done by removing several screws or bolts. On others, it may require pulling out a couple of tabs or panels.
Once the cover is removed, you’ll see the starter motor inside. This is usually a small contraption made up of several parts that work together to turn the engine over. You’ll need to replace this motor if it’s broken or worn out.
How Much It Will Cost To Change A Starter
Change a starter on a car can range from around $100 to $500 depending on the make and model of the vehicle. The most common type of starter is the crankshaft, which can cost anywhere from $8 to $60. In addition, any repairs that may be needed afterwards (like replacing clips or spring) can also add up.
