Starters and Ignition Repair in Baton Rouge
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 K & H Automotive Service enhance your vehicle's start-up with a high-amp battery and a high-torque mini starter.

At K & H Automotive Service, we can upgrade your vehicle's power system with modern digital ignition controls, performance distributors, and low-resistance ignition wires.

Ignition Repair FAQs


What are the common signs that my ignition needs repair?

Customers often inquire about what symptoms indicate a problem with the ignition system. Common signs include the car failing to start, the key not turning in the ignition, unexpected stalling of the vehicle, and the engine not cranking despite turning the key. These symptoms suggest issues with the ignition switch, the starter motor, or other related components.

How much does it typically cost to repair an ignition system?

The cost of ignition repair can vary widely depending on the specific issue and the vehicle make and model. Generally, costs can range from a simple repair of a few hundred dollars to more extensive replacements that could exceed a thousand dollars. Customers are advised to get a detailed diagnostic to understand the precise problem and associated costs.

How long does an ignition repair take?

The duration of an ignition repair can depend on the complexity of the issue and the availability of any necessary parts. Typically, simple repairs might take a few hours, while more complex issues that require part replacements can take a full day or longer. It's best for customers to consult with their service provider for a more accurate time estimate based on their vehicle's condition.

What Our Customers Say

Car & Truck Care

The check service light came on and the car was struggling to get above 60mph when I was driving with my daughter back to Texas from school at Clemson. Afraid we would be stranded somewhere, we exited and grabbed a hotel since everything was closed for the night. I searched Yelp for service shops and K&H was close, opened early, and allowed me to book a 7:30 appointment. Alan (owner) greeted us and checked out the car. After about 30 minutes, he announced it was fixed. Turned out something had tripped the sensor which was causing the car to struggle. Problem fixed. Honestly, I was totally prepared for him to tell me the car wouldn't make it home. That I'd be better off selling it as junk or leaving it with him for a few days and $1000s of repairs. But no. He smiled, offered me a handshake, and told me to have a great trip home. As a small business owner, I appreciate a business/person that simply "does the right thing." Alan did that. And to top it off, after I arrived home and as I was just about ready to type out this review, he called me. Just wanted to make sure we made it OK. Do yourself a favor - if you have to get your car/truck worked on, bring it here!
