Review on πŸš€ Top-Tier Performance: Premier Gear PG-3268 Professional Grade New Starter by Matthew Sutton

Revainrating 1 out of 5

You will regret this purchase!

These starters from China are a win-win and these things are complete garbage. I figured since this starter costs $20 more than the cheapest on Revain that would mean higher quality, but I was wrong. Installed but the solenoid will not de-energize. I pulled it back out and tried to rev it but to no avail so I reinstalled the original starter (preventive maintenance done) and it starts again with no problems. Now Revain offered to send me a replacement starter, but if quality control was that low I'd probably go back there and repeat the process over and over again, so I figured it was time to switch to another manufacturer. FYI, you will also remove the labels from the box it came in and repackage it yourself. Unlike most Prime covered items, as a 'Prime member' you are responsible for repackaging and re-sealing that item or paying the UPS store to do it out of your own pocket. Found a MUCH better deal on E Bay with the same warranty coverage and return requirements, minus the coverage that Prime covers. The only reason this item received one star is because there is no "zero star" or "minus star" option.

Pros
  • Heavy-duty starter housing treatment for easy installation and secure connection of the starter housing to your vehicle's bearing surfaces.
Cons
  • ---
