I went out to my car this morning to go to class, but when I turned the key there was nothing...I know it's not the battery b/c I just replaced that a few months ago and all the accessories seemed to work fine. But it didn't even sound like the engine was trying to start b/c there wasn't any type of clicks or anything at all...However, when I got home from class, I tried starting it again, worked fine...so I'm thinking, is it issues w/ my starter?

I saw the same reviews for Start Mart too, but I knew a few people who'd used them so I took my car in anyway. I was totally happy with the service. They were fast and the bill came in less than the estimate. I think they're independently operated, so maybe it depends on the location. Are you near Portland/Vancouver? I took mine in to the one on/around 122nd and Stark.
Precision - one on 82nd by Clackamas Town Center? I hate them. I've been in there a few times over the years, they were rude and overpriced. Last time I went in I was trying to replace my fuel filter myself, and ran into trouble on the bottom nut. I took my car there to ask them to replace the filter for me, and the guy told me he "didn't have time for such things." So I went to the Midas two doors down, and not only did they help me, they showed me how, loaned me tools to do it, and didn't charge me a dime. -------------------- ![]() |
