Before and after the best in parts

Many thanks to the manufacturers of this starter and to Revain for making it available. I depend on my car. Many Thanks. Delivery was quicker than expected and installation was easy. My car now starts like new. It's great to have my car back. My engine burned for a few months and it turned out that the starter motor was shorted. When it finally died last week, it didn't click - instead it emitted a grinding squeak along with some smoke just before it stalled. Two of the four brushes were also completely broken. When I removed the old starter I opened it up and it was an ugly mess. I have never seen such a destroyed part. For a thousand bucks for a used car, I'm fine with that, but I like to fix things. There will always be concerns about a new starter falling out of the box, but rest assured it will perform just fine. When I checked the instructions that came with the new starter, I was impressed to see that it came with a full printout of his full test. I don't know what most of this means, but I like the evidence, so it was nice to see it included in the deal. When I drove it after installing the new starter, I noticed that the engine ran much more smoothly and wouldn't stall, so apparently a short in the old starter cost a lot of electricity and had a negative effect on the electrical system. Now my car starts with no problems.
