Additional Information About the Service
Starter Restoration is a great way to extend the life of your vehicle without the need to buy a new starter. We understand how important it is for your car to start quickly and reliably, which is why we offer a comprehensive range of repair and maintenance services for starters.
Diagnosis and Preparation
The first step involves our specialists removing the starter from the vehicle for a thorough inspection. On a specialized stand, we check how the electric motor, planetary gear, and freewheel clutch operate. This helps us accurately identify which parts are worn or damaged and need attention.
Repair and Replacement of Parts
If we find that some components can be restored, such as cleaning contacts or replacing brushes, we proceed with that. In cases where wear is too severe, we replace parts with new ones to ensure reliable starter operation. Often, the freewheel clutch can be restored, allowing the starter to function like new again.
Final Check and Installation
After reassembly, we reinstall the starter on the vehicle and check its operation under real conditions. We ensure that the engine starts quickly and confidently, without any unusual noises or delays. This approach helps prevent recurring issues and extends the lifespan of the unit.
