I am now getting a Bosch from Rockauto for 25% less than the AC Delco starter from Amazon. Bosch sold me with 24 month roadside towing if the starter leaves me stranded during that time.
I actually replaced the starter less than a year ago with a brand new (not a remanufactured) Bosch; hopefully its not the starter.
Bosch is also not a bad name starter to buy from something like rockauto.
Bosch is just fine. I replaced my starter with a Bosch reman a few years ago, still working flawlessly.
No need to go OEM on part. Plenty of good refurbs out there. Think I picked up a Duralast at Autozone for $190.
I too have a 87 wagon. However, my experience with Duralast starters was with my 2005 Subaru. Was recently in jam and needed quick replacement then. The duralast was essentially a remanufactured part and seemed ok quality. Has been almost two months since installation and no problems at all.
Cheap starter. 4yrs isn\u2019t bad. Get OEM or Bosch
Guy at work has installed and replaced two Duralast starters in his truck since 2020, and the 3rd one is starting to have issues.
I got a starter from Autozone 3 times and finally got one that would start the next day as well. I bought the first one from AZ and it was the Duralast Gold for the lifetime warranty. When I installed the first one it worked for the entire day no problem then the next morning the car wouldn\u2019t start mind you I changed the battery a week prior. So I took it out went back to AZ swapped it out put the new one back in and I worked 5 times until I went to run errands and the car wouldn\u2019t start. Went to a different AZ and swapped it out\u2026 now I\u2019m on the 3rd going 2 days strong.
Again this is a brand new starter actually it's a rebuilt starter which is Bosch OEM. When I did remove the old starter and put in this new rebuilt Bosch OEM starter the car started right up. The next day I went out to start it and all I got was one loud "CLICK"!
