I got a 97 accord, with 80k miles. With my new job I've been starting my car about 8-10 times a day. I usually have to make a few drop offs and cant really leave the car running due to the bad area i am in sometimes. And also sometimes im in the building for like 10-15 minutes.

Will starting the car 8-10 times cause any excessive wear? I feel bad for the starter. Is there anything I can do to keep my starter lasting? Or is this perfectly normal?


Also when do the starters usually go?

 

its hit and miss, if they go out they go out. ive seen some old *** cars with oe factory staters.

just for convenience reasons id get a remote start.. if your automatic.

 

have another key , leave car running but lock doors

 

Yeah, a remote start would be a good investment. Manual or automatic.

 

how would remote start help?
