All that labor to put a counterfeit starter on?.
Amazon is full of junk auto parts, right down to spark plugs.



Dude's starter didnt make it 7 years, dont believe Amazon was the problem.

Correct, I was responding to the poster that quoted an Amazon part for much cheaper.

I was just pointing out Amazon's trash parts.

Since the starter is unnerneatdat intake manifold I might’ve taken a chance on a better quality starter.

Even the AutoZone trash will fail.

Changed an alternator last May on the Odyssey, needed to replace it again in late January.


Luckily AutoZone stood by their warranty and swapped it out or it would be another 300 dollars.

I have used mostly Amazon parts for years. Look up the brand your getting and you'll be fine.
Every ac compressor, alternator and starter I've changed has been from Amazon.
A lot of times oem isn't much better. Most oem parts are actually rebranded third party.
