A Two Thousand Pound Paperweight.

That is what it seems like when your car does not start in the dead of another Denver winter. When a car doesn’t start, many people immediately assume that the starter motor is to blame. In fact, the component has the term “start” right in its name. The reality is that dozens of potential reasons could be at play.

Here are the most common signs of a bad starter –

1.  The engine refuses to crank.

2.  It DOES crank, but much more slowly.

3.  You hear a grinding noise.

4.  There is inconsistent failure…what we have here is a failure to crank!

It is confusing and most assuredly frustrating when your starter “starts” showing signs of deteriorating. That demands a call to The German Car Shoppe. They are starter repair experts for foreign and domestic vehicles in the Denver area. The German Car Shoppe is located at 5115 Santa Fe Drive in Littleton.
