Starters and Ignition Repair in Sunnyvale
If your high-performance engine has a starter that struggles to turn over, it may be due to the intense engine compression ratio. Standard OEM starters might not meet the demands of high-performance vehicles, which require more cranking power. Consider upgrading to a high torque starter and ignition system for that extra boost. These starters are smaller and lighter, offering better clearance and reliability whether on the track or in your driveway. Let British & European Auto Repair enhance your vehicle's start-up with a high-amp battery and a high-torque mini starter.
