OEM Honda Starter motor

Honda starters are known to be finicky about voltage - they need that full 12.6v or they'll grind like crazy. I'd try a decent battery first before messing with the starter, way cheaper fix

Pros: cheaper fix, decent battery
Cons: finicky about voltage
Vehicle: Honda

The only thing I hate is my civic ate a starter and replacing it myself was a POS because its under the engine. But my civic is still cheap to fix and maintain and relatively easy to work on compared to other brands.

Pros: cheap to fix, maintain
Cons: starter hard to replace
Vehicle: Honda Civic

I had a customer that went through 4 starters from Napa. When I diagnosed it the starter was not fully engaging and grinding on the flywheel. Told them I needed to get a starter from Honda. After arguing and arguing and doubting and more arguing, the new starter from Honda fixed it.

Pros: Honda starter fixed issue
Cons: Napa starters failed

If your battery is draining and/or this happens on every start, replace the starter. Had similar issues and replaced the starter and car starts way smoother now.

Pros: car starts way smoother

Our 2007 Accord was $2250 in July of 2023. It had 235k miles but was well taken care of. Put on maybe 20k since then with few problems...(starter and brakes).

Pros: well taken care of
Cons: starter and brakes
Mileage: 321869 km

Recently had this happen on my 2006 CRV. Started as a slowing crank, then it slow cranked and just stopped. Jump wouldn’t help, but I could bump start it. Turned out to be the starter.

Pros: could bump start it
Cons: slowing crank, just stopped
