The starter on my 12' began going out so I go a Duralast reman. for about $160 at AutoZone. There's a few helpful vids on YouTube, and it's not too bad of a job. It took me about 90 minutes and you might want to have some socket extensions and maybe a wobble joint. Overall pretty doable for a busy dad with young kids on a Sunday.

Pros: doable job, helpful videos

I replaced with a Duralast Gold starter and it's been running fine for nine years. Of course who knows what you're getting now in 2025, but the aftermarket one from 2016 has done great.

Pros: running fine, great performance

Pros: lifetime warranty
Cons: starter lasted 10k miles
Mileage: 10000 km

High temp plastic does turn brittle over time... plastic breaks manufacturers will tell you that the plastic is just as strong and wear resistant. But we all know its just to make shit cheaper.

Cons: plastic turns brittle, cheap manufacturing
Vehicle: Ford Focus
