Starter Motor Replacements For All Cars & 4WD
Struggling to Start? It Could Be Your Starter Motor.
If you’ve ever jumped in your vehicle, turned the key, and heard nothing but a couple of clicks, you’ve probably run into a faulty starter motor.
We specialise in 12Volt Solutions and vehicle reliability, and a worn-out starter motor is one of the most common culprits behind frustrating no-start issues. If you’re unsure whether it’s your starter or something else (like a battery), leave the guesswork behind — our expert technicians will run a full system check and provide a no-BS diagnosis.
Signs You Might Need a New Starter Motor
Not sure if it’s the starter motor causing your troubles? Keep an eye (and ear) out for these common symptoms:
- Engine won’t start:
If you’re turning the key and the engine just won’t kick over, your starter motor could be dead. Other issues like a flat battery or ignition problems can cause similar symptoms, so it’s worth having a pro take a look. - Sluggish cranking:
If your engine sounds like it’s struggling to crank or is painfully slow, your starter might be failing — or it could be a weak battery or internal engine issue. - Grinding noise:
Hear a grinding sound when starting up? It might be loose mounting bolts or damaged teeth on the starter gear or flywheel — either way, it needs urgent attention. - Whirring sound:
This sound usually means the starter motor is spinning, but not engaging with the engine’s flywheel — often caused by solenoid or gear failure. - Buzzing noise:
A buzzing sound without engine turnover usually points to electrical flow reaching the starter, but not enough power to crank — possibly due to corrosion, wiring faults, or a low battery.

The starter motor is responsible for cranking your engine when you turn the key or push the start button. It engages the flywheel and helps start the combustion process — without it, your vehicle won’t start.
Common symptoms include the engine not starting, clicking or buzzing noises, slow cranking, grinding sounds, or intermittent starting issues. If you notice any of these, it’s best to have your starter motor inspected ASAP.
