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.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Eddie and the rest of the team took incredible care of me and my vehicle. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to service any of my vehicles! Eddie even went above and beyond by helping me find the right headers and exhaust and assisting me with placing the order. If you’re looking for a trustworthy mechanic who can do just about anything, you’ve found the right place. Anyway, here’s my Vette that they’re building! Super happy with everything so far. :)

I seriously can’t say enough good things about Eddie and Quick Shift Auto. I brought my 2004 Chevy Silverado in with a bunch of issues like reduced engine power, a flashing check engine light, a cylinder misfire, oil leaks, hard starting, and just overall not running the way it should. This truck has a lot of miles on it, so I was honestly starting to wonder if it was just getting to the end of its life. Eddie took the time to actually figure out what was going on instead of just throwing parts at it. They did a full tune-up, checked compression, replaced the plugs and wires, fixed the valve cover leaks, professionally cleaned and flow-tested the fuel injectors, and worked through the misfire issue. He kept me updated throughout the process and was straight with me about what the truck needed. I got it back and I’m not exaggerating when I say it feels like my truck is back to life. It starts right up, I’ve had it on the freeway at 75–80 mph, no check engine light, no reduced engine power, no hesitation, nothing. It honestly runs smoother than I can remember. This Silverado may not be the newest or flashiest truck on the road, but I love this thing, and getting it back running this good means a lot to me. I had honestly forgotten how much I appreciated driving it until I got it back. If you’re dealing with misfires, reduced engine power, check engine lights, rough running, or you’ve got an older truck that other shops make you feel like isn’t worth fixing, go talk to Eddie. He knows what he’s doing and made the whole process feel easy. Huge thank you to Eddie and everyone at Quick Shift Auto. You guys seriously brought my truck back to life. I’ll definitely be coming back here for anything I need in the future. 10/10.
