What Is a Rebuild, and Why Does It Matter?

A rebuild is more than just a repair. It’s a full teardown and restoration of your starter or alternator. We disassemble the unit, clean every part, replace worn components, and reassemble it to meet or exceed original specs.

This process is ideal when:

The unit is rare or expensive to replace.

You want to keep your original equipment.

You need a fast, cost-effective solution.

Rebuilding helps extend the life of your equipment without the cost of buying new.

Automotive Rebuild Services

Your car’s starter and alternator are essential to its performance. When they fail, you don’t always need a replacement. We rebuild:

  • Starters for sedans, trucks, and SUVs
  • Alternators for standard and high-output systems
  • Units for classic cars, custom builds, and hybrids

We work on both domestic and foreign vehicles. Most rebuilds are completed in less than a day, so you’re not left waiting.

Industrial Equipment Rebuilds

Industrial systems demand reliability. When a starter or alternator fails on a job site, it can bring everything to a stop. We rebuild units for:

  • Forklifts
  • Loaders
  • Generators
  • Agricultural and construction equipment

These rebuilds are done with durability in mind. We use high-quality parts and test every unit to ensure it can handle tough conditions.

Marine Starter & Alternator Rebuilds

Marine systems face constant exposure to salt, moisture, and vibration. That’s why we offer specialized rebuilds for:

Outboard and inboard engine starters

Marine alternators

Electrical components for boats and watercraft

We use corrosion-resistant parts and sealants to ensure your rebuilt unit performs reliably on the water.
