Starter Replacement
Hassle-Free Starter Replacement at Your Location
A failing starter is one of the most stressful car problems because it can happen without warning. Instead of waiting for a tow truck and paying high shop fees, I make it easy by bringing the solution to you. With years of hands-on experience, I quickly confirm whether your starter is really the issue, and if it is, I replace it with the right part on-site.
Drivers across Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and nearby towns trust me because I save them time, money, and stress while giving their car the attention it deserves.
Do You Really Need a New Starter?
Many times, people assume the starter is the problem when it might actually be the battery or alternator. That’s why I always begin with a careful diagnosis. If your lights come on but the engine won’t turn over, if you hear repeated clicking sounds, or if your car starts only sometimes and then refuses, there’s a strong chance the starter is at fault. Once I confirm the issue, I’ll replace it right there in your driveway or parking spot — no waiting room, no upselling.
How I Diagnose and Replace the Starter
I start with a focused on-site diagnosis to rule out battery or alternator problems — many “no-starts” are simple battery issues. If the starter is the culprit, I source the correct OEM or quality aftermarket starter for your vehicle (I can often supply it that day), remove the faulty unit, install the replacement, and test the charging and starting system thoroughly before I leave.
Typical flow you’ll see: I arrive, inspect and diagnose, show you what’s wrong, confirm the quote, install the part, and test the vehicle — all at your location with minimal fuss.

When You Need Starter Replacement
Sometimes the symptoms are obvious; sometimes they’re subtle. If you turn the key (or press the start button) and the engine doesn’t crank, or if starting problems happen more often over time, it’s likely the starter is failing. Other common red flags are a single loud click with no crank, the engine cranking intermittently, or a burning smell near the engine bay.
Signs to watch for:
- Repeated clicking when trying to start; accessories work but the engine won’t turn over.
- Occasional starts that become more frequent — starts that work one minute and fail the next.
- Smoke, burning smell, or visible damage near the starter motor.

Doorstep Starter Replacement Made Easy with mechaniconcall
Dead starter?
We'll bring the spark back, right at your doorstep.
Oh no, you’re running late for work and your car just won’t start. You turn the key and…nothing. No cranking, no signs of life at all from the engine. Or maybe it’s making that dreaded clicking noise that fills you with dread. We’ve all been there – it’s one of the most frustrating things that can happen, leaving you feeling stuck and powerless.But don’t panic! Chances are the problem is just a dodgy starter motor that needs replacing. And when it comes to getting that starter sorted quickly, conveniently, and without any stuffing around, we at Lazyme are the experts.
A Starter Motor? What Is It?
For those who aren’t already mechanically minded, the starter is the little electric part responsible for literally starting your engine. Pretty crucial bit of kit, really!
Here’s how it works: When you twist that key (or push the button for you fancy folk), it tells the starter to draw power from the battery and use its little electric motor and gear system to get the main engine spinning. Once it’s rotating at a certain speed, the fuel and air intake keep it running under its own power and the starter can clock off for a well-earned rest.But if that starter conks out, your engine is basically just sitting there flipping you the bird no matter how many times you turn that key. In the auto repair world, a dead or dying starter motor is one of the most common reasons for a dreaded no-start situation. Other potential causes like a flat battery can also stop you in your tracks, but nine times out of ten it’s the hard-working starter that’s decided to chuck a sickie.

Lazyme’s mobile team of mechanics offer the ultimate in convenient, money-saving and stress-free starter replacements right where you need us across metro areas. We’ve got your back when your car won’t start!
Here's how it works:
First up, go on our website or give our friendly team a call to book your starter replacement. We’ll find a date, time, and location that suits your schedule.
On the designated day, one of our qualified mobile mechanics will arrive at your chosen spot in one of our fully-stocked service vans. Maybe wave them down if you see us!
We’ll scope out the issues with your starter using our proper diagnostic tools and wizardry. Don’t worry, we won’t start working until we verify it really does need to be swapped out.
The old dud starter? We’ll make sure it gets disposed of or recycled properly through licensed metal/recycling partners.
Once that new starter is installed and double-checked, we’ll fire up the engine and take it for a quick spin around the block to verify everything is running perfectly.
With your go-ahead, we’ll source through a brand new starter unit from one of our suppliers and get cracking swapping it over right there on site. All our mechanics are trained and equipped with the same tools and tech as any main dealership.
Finally, our mechanic will give you a detailed report on the work completed, including any other potential service updates. Best of all, you’ll score a 12-month/20,000km warranty on that starter replacement…plus a nationwide lifetime warranty on the workmanship. Yep, we really do stand by our convenient mobile services!
You’ll also have the warm fuzzies knowing your job was handled by a fully-qualified Australian mechanic…no double-handedly translated manuals or confusing language barriers! Just good old-fashioned Aussie service and workmanship.
Yeah Probably Best We Replace That Mate
So how can you tell if your fruity starter is the one letting the team down? There are a few telltale signs:
- You turn the key and the engine doesn't crank over at all - total silence (except maybe some choicy words from you)
- You hear a clicking noise when you twist the key, suggesting the starter might be trying but not delivering enough oomph
- The engine does actually crank over but really slowly and sluggishly
- There are some very uncool grinding, whirring or pretty much any weird noises coming from the starter
If your car is displaying any of those upnonce behaviours when you’re trying to start it, it’s a safe bet the culprit is the starter motor. And unfortunately, there’s not much mechanics can do to repair or recondition a dead starter other than straight up replacing it with a fresh new one. At Lazyme, we source our starter motors through the same networks that supply Aussie dealerships and auto shops with their stock from name brands you know and trust. So you can drive away easy, knowing your new starter has been made to take whatever your engine dishes out over years of trouble-free service.
