If your car refuses to start, your first thought might be a dead battery, but the problem could also be a faulty starter. At Massey Automotive in Marietta, GA, we offer professional starter replacement services designed to get your car back on the road safely and quickly. Our technicians specialize in starter motor replacement, electrical repair services, and auto electrical repair, diagnosing the root cause of ignition issues with precision.
Your starter motor plays an important part in getting your car’s engine running. When you turn the steering wheel key or press the start button, the battery sends electric energy to the starter solenoid, which activates the starter motor. The starter then turns the internal combustion engine using mechanical energy, allowing it to fire up and begin running on its own.
If any part of this process fails, your engine won’t start, leaving you stranded. That’s why prompt attention to starter issues is necessary.
A clicking sound when turning the key
No sound at all when trying to start the car
Lights and dashboard working but no engine turnover
Occasional starting issues that get worse over time
Visible smoke or burning smell from the engine area
In some cases, the starter may be repairable, especially if it’s only a minor fault such as a loose connection or dirty contact. However, in many cases, starter repair is not enough, and a full starter motor replacement is needed to restore your car’s ability to start reliably.
Our team at Massey Automotive in Marietta, GA will inspect your starter system thoroughly to determine whether a repair or replacement is the right move.
Old age and worn internal parts
Exposure to engine heat and oil leaks
Issues with the car battery
Faulty or corroded wiring in the ignition system
Problems in the electrical system or electrical energy supply
Many drivers confuse a bad starter with a dead battery. While both can keep your car from starting, they are very different issues. If your lights work and you hear a clicking sound, but the engine doesn’t crank, it’s likely the starter. If there’s no response at all — no lights, no sounds — the issue may be the battery.
At Massey Automotive, we offer convenient battery testing and battery replacement along with starter diagnostics, so we can pinpoint the issue and handle it quickly.
We offer full auto electrical repair and electrical repair services. We’ll test the full system, including:
Battery and charging system
