Question

How do you know if you need a starter in your car?

Answer 1

If your car doesnt start when cold but when hot it is possible you have a bad starter. The problem with starters is they are almost impossible to diagnose "in car". The only slightly effective way to do so is with a "bench tester" which simulates it being hooked up to your car. Is your car not starting or slow to start? More info on it and I can help a little more.

Answer 2

When it will not start.

No seriously when you turn the key and the starter will not engage or turns the engine over slower than normal.
