Starter & Ignition FAQs
How long do ignition starters last?
A starter motor can often last around 100,000 to 150,000 miles, although its lifespan varies based on driving habits, vehicle use, and component quality. If you notice slow cranking, clicking sounds, or intermittent starting problems, have the starting system inspected.
Are the ignition and starter the same thing?
No, the ignition system and starter are separate parts that work together to start your vehicle. The ignition switch initiates the starting process, while the starter motor uses electrical power from the battery to crank the engine.
Can a bad starter drain a battery?
A malfunctioning starter can draw excessive electrical current and place additional strain on the battery. If starting problems continue, having the battery, starter, and related electrical connections inspected can help identify the cause.
What makes a starter go bad?
Starter problems can be caused by loose or corroded electrical connections, worn internal components, or electrical faults. Normal wear over time can also reduce the starter's ability to crank the engine reliably.
Do I need a new key if I replace the ignition switch?
Whether you need a new key depends on your vehicle and the type of ignition system it uses. Some modern vehicles may require a replacement key or programming so the key and vehicle's security system work properly with the new ignition components.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Maybe the best Transmission shop in AZ? I'm on Vacation and become in trouble with my rear end. Asked two other shops, one offered an appointmend next month, the other was not interested. Mike told me: "come in, we will have a look" Finaly: Plenty of Experience in the house, a great team with heart and soul for screws and nuts, the Differential of my 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 HD runs smooth and quiet again now. They changed all diff- and rear wheel bearings and it took only three days. Professional Service! And so AIRSTREAM and me can create more memories on our Roadtrip. Thanks to Mike and the Team for make all these posible! Kept you in best memories.

We are extremely satisfied with Tucson Auto and Diesel! My husbands truck was pretty much dead and Josh the owner contacted us through Facebook and got us in the very next day! We had some trouble getting our truck there, but nonetheless we got it there. We expected our truck to be out for a couple days considering we had just dropped it off, and they got it back to us the same exact day! If I could recommend anyone to go anywhere for their trucks it’s this place! 10/10 experience!

Holy Cow! This place knocks it out of the park. Super friendly staff especially the greeters at the front desk. The cost for my KIA Transfer Case replacement was very reasonable compared to the "crooks" at Royal KIA service department. I will be going back here for sure, highly recommended.
