People will often start replacing the “likely” failed parts with sub-par store brands when their car has a problem, because they’re afraid of high costs or being taken advantage of by a shop.
This Ford developed a no crank/no start condition, so the owner purchased and installed a starter assembly from an auto parts store. The condition was still present. It was then towed to me for diagnostics, where through my circuit tests I determined that the key transceiver for the anti theft system had failed and can’t send the key code to the engine computer, therefore the computer would not permit engine starting. Replaced the transceiver and it fired right up, but the starter assembly the customer installed was a waste of money and likely inferior in quality to the perfectly operational starter that was on the car.
Have Tech-Op handle your diagnostics and repairs without wasting money. My low overhead means I beat most shops prices, and my experience and commitment to quality repair parts means your vehicle gets fixed correctly.
