starter motor of a car

When a vehicle has trouble starting, many people initially blame the starter. What is the starter, and how do you know if yours has called it quits? At Motorworks Northwest, Inc in Mt Vernon, WA, we want to keep you informed and telling you what to look for will prevent further damage when issues arise. The starter is essentially just an electric motor; a gear at the end of that electric motor engages the flywheel, which turns the engine over, allowing it to start. How do you know if yours is failing?

Highly recommended! Customer service was superb and the owners immediately made me feel like I could trust them with my car. Going in I originally thought my brakes needed to be replaced but the owner and technician showed me that my brakes were fine and helped me to understand why they were squeaking instead of trying to take my money and send me off with new brakes when my current ones didn’t need to be replaced. Definitely will be returning for any upkeep I would need for my car. - Dominic A. (5 star review on Google)
