Frequently Asked Questions

What Is An Ignition Switch?

An ignition switch is a vital component of a vehicle's electrical system. It serves as the interface between the driver and the car's electrical functions, allowing the driver to start the engine, control accessories, and power various electrical components within the vehicle. The ignition switch plays a crucial role in the overall operation and safety of an automobile.

How much does it cost to fix an ignition?

Replacing the ignition switch typically costs between $125 to $275 for the part and labor. However, prices can vary depending on your location and the complexity of the replacement. If the issue is specifically with the ignition cylinder (where the key is inserted), the cost can range from $100 to $225 for parts and labor.

What are signs of ignition problems?

  • Intermittent Starting
  • Unresponsive Electrical Accessories
  • Strange Noises Like Clicking, Grinding, or Buzzing
  • Warning Lights: Such as The "Check Engine" Light
  • Loss of Power

How much does it cost to fix a car starter?

The cost for a starter motor replacement can range from approximately $250 to $600 or more, including parts and labor. High-end or luxury vehicles may have higher costs due to specialized parts. If the issue is with the starter solenoid rather than the entire starter motor, the cost can be lower, ranging from $100 to $250, including parts and labor.

Great services! Tony was great, he gave me piece of mind when my daughter's car broke down. He explained clearly and in a simple way what had happened and all the potential scenarios and their cost. Rarely, you find this level of customer service when it comes to car repairs. Thank you Tony!

I want to acknowledge the staff at 6710 Academy service center.
