Warning Signs
Signs You Need a New Starter
Is your car acting up when you try to start it? At Quality Auto Repair & Auto Sales, we help a lot of Maryland Heights folks with starter headaches.
Here’s what to watch for. You turn the key and just get a click, but the engine stays silent. That click usually means your starter motor isn’t doing its job.
Hear a grinding sound while cranking? That’s the starter gear not lining up with the flywheel. If you ignore it, you’ll risk bigger repairs later.
Does your car start fine sometimes and not at all other times? That kind of unpredictability often points to a failing starter.
Smoke under the hood when you try to start? That’s a big warning. It could mean an electrical issue or that your starter is pulling too much juice from the battery.
Key Signs of Starter Failure:
- Clicking sound but no engine turnover
- Grinding noises during startup
- Intermittent starting issues
- Smoke when attempting to start
- Dashboard lights work but engine won't crank
If your car keeps running after you turn off the ignition, you might have a solenoid problem. The solenoid is part of the starter system and needs a pro to check it out.
Don’t brush off these signs. Starter trouble tends to get worse, not better.

How Much Does a Starter Cost to Replace?
The price to repair or replace a starter depends on the make and model of your vehicle. Starters for luxury and European vehicles cost more than those for domestic or Asian cars.
The part’s quality changes the price, too. We offer both OEM and aftermarket options, so you can pick what fits your budget.
Labor is pretty steady since most starters take 1-2 hours to swap. Some cars hide the starter in tough spots, which can bump up the time and cost.
We’ll always give you a detailed estimate before we start. That way, you know exactly what to expect for your specific vehicle.
