New Berlin Starter Services

Starter Diagnose, Repair and Replacement

Ravenswood Auto Center in New Berlin offers superior starter repair services on all makes and models. The starter motor in your car cranks your engine over so it can operate under its own power. Cold weather during a frigid Wisconsin winter can damage the contacts in the starter motor, preventing your car from starting.

We have FREE Wi-Fi coming soon at our auto shop.

Bad Starter or Bad Battery?

You walk out in the frigid January cold and start your car, instead of hearing your engine turn over you hear a whir and a click followed by silence. Subzero temperatures can drain your battery, but can also damage the contacts in your starter motor. Test for a bad starter or bad battery in four steps:

1. Headlights do not turn on – bad battery
2. Headlights turn on and the car doesn’t start – bad starter
3. Headlights dim when you try to start the car – bad battery
4. Engine makes no noise when you try to start – bad starter
