Starter has been acting up in this cold weather. Rather not risk it so I'll be replacing it. Was wondering where would be the best place local in the GTA before I order one off Idparts.

Tried frisco but it's not a Bosch unit but European. Not sure I want to risk it. TIA!

Perjad at precision - I purchased a number of remans - nothing lasted until I got a genuine bosch reman through Perjad.

I agree with both of these guys. I've had a chance to disassemble a cheap chinese starter and it fell apart in my hands - total crap - you're best getting a Bosch reman from a known vendor.

I picked one up from Precision yesterday. I installed it this morning in the driveway at -12C in about 30 minutes from the top side.

Warmed up a bit indoors and promptly made the 40 minute drive to get my core fee refunded :D
