Which starter to get?

[Atowley]

Hi everyone. The starter on my 1960 just died. My question is does anyone run napa’s Rebuilt starter? Jbugs has a rebuilt Bosch for 135 bucks plus a huge core charge, Napa’s rebuilt is 45 bucks (same as all other local stores as well). Is a Bosch really worth another 90 bucks plus the core charge???? Napa has lifetime warranty.

I'd be OK to try the NAPA; why? because starters are a ton easier to R&R than a generator. $45 starter with a lifetime warranty sounds like a great deal. I'd go NAPA myself with the information you supplied.

For the record: my 2 VWs both have rebuilt-by-Bosch 12 volt starters and generators.

My 1998 Frontier has a CarQuest rebuilt starter, over a dozen years OK with that now, out of warranty.

Mrs. Cusser's 2005 Yukon has a new Autozone starter in it, over 5 years now, lifetime warranty.
