Why quality starter motors and alternators are crucial

With nearly 40 years of expertise and close to 5,000 part numbers in its portfolio, Autoelectro is partner of many factors. This time, the company is reminding its customers of the critical role quality and reliability play in remanufactured parts, particularly starter motors and alternators.
Winter can take a toll on vehicle electrical systems, with cold weather increasing the need for reliable components that keep vehicles running smoothly.
Harsh conditions strain vehicle electrical systems, which means an increased demand on alternators and starter motors. Furthermore, drivers rely more heavily on essential electrical features, such as headlights, heaters and wiper blades, putting additional pressure on alternators.
Autoelectro’s Harnek Bhogal said: “All our products are remanufactured here in the UK and are engineered to perform under tough conditions. Using the latest OEspec testing equipment, and backed by a comprehensive two-year warranty, we ensure every part is built to last.”
In lower temperatures, engines become harder to start, leading to potential issues with starter motors. Autoelectro often sees an influx of ‘burnt-out’ cores due to excessive cranking during colder months.
Harnek continued: “Common cold weather failures we encounter include starters being ‘stuck in mesh,’ where they fail to disengage after engine start-up, and overheating issues caused by low or flat batteries. These types of failures highlight the importance of fitting high-quality replacement parts.”
Autoelectro committed to excellence
Since its founding in 1986, Autoelectro has remained “steadfast” in delivering the “highest standards” of remanufacturing. All of its starter motors and alternators are ISO9001 certified and incorporate many OE components, which, the company claims, ensures they meet or exceed OE specifications.
This level of quality should give you confidence in supplying parts that will withstand cold weather demands. Unlike “cheap copy parts”, Autoelectro’s components undergo stringent testing to ensure reliability.
Harnek summarised: “As the saying goes: ‘Buy cheap, buy twice!’ We believe our products provide the peace of mind customers need.”
Value extends past the box!
Autoelectro’s support for its customers surpasses the parts themselves. Its iconic red and white product boxes include detailed technical notes, both in-box and online, to assist professionals when faced with a repair. They offer valuable fitting advice and insights into common vehicle faults, meaning Autoelectro’s customers provide added value to their customers.
Furthermore, Autoelectro’s experienced technicians work with old cores, identifying recurring issues and getting to the root causes of any vehicle problems.
Harnek revealed: “This approach positions us as more than just a parts supplier; we provide crucial insights into potential issues associated with specific engines or vehicle models. By equipping professionals with the necessary information, we ensure that they can complete their work to the highest standard.
“Consequently, this gives customers the peace of mind.”
Autoelectro is encouraging you to emphasise the importance of high-quality, reliable replacement parts. Autoelectro believes the combination of remanufacturing, expert technical support and environmental responsibility makes it the complete package – any time of year!
