There’s something wrong with your starter if the only thing you hear when turning the car key or pressing the start button is a clicking noise. And, of course, your car doesn’t start.

A whirring and grinding noise when starting up your car can also be a sign that your starter is due for replacement.

Generally a starter can last many years if the car’s electrical system is properly maintained. Frequent use as well as cold weather add stress and can accelerate wear. Your certified NAPA AUTOPRO technician has the expertise to diagnose starter problems, test the battery and replace the starter and / or solenoid.
