Starter Problem

It really depends on where you buy the reman starter. My shop only buys from the local Carquest because over the years we've seen too many problems with the real cheap ones. Sometimes right out of the box.
(people come in with the problem and tell us they put in a new one from autozone or pepboys.) i.e.: Mazda MPV starter from the zone = $50 lifetime warranty
starter from carquest = $84 lifetime warranty, & we warranty our labor for 1yr.

We have to warranty our work, and we don't want to do it twice.

Same goes for alternators. And we won't use reman injectors either.
