Starters and Ignition Repair in Olathe
If your high-performance engine has a starter that struggles to turn over, it may be due to the intense engine compression ratio. Standard OEM starters might not meet the demands of high-performance vehicles, which require more cranking power. Consider upgrading to a high torque starter and ignition system for that extra boost. These starters are smaller and lighter, offering better clearance and reliability whether on the track or in your driveway. Let Tom's Automobile Repair enhance your vehicle's start-up with a high-amp battery and a high-torque mini starter.

At Tom's Automobile Repair, we can upgrade your vehicle's power system with modern digital ignition controls, performance distributors, and low-resistance ignition wires.

Tom's Automobile repair is TOP NOTCH. I took a 1975 Chevrolet Vega in to have the mufflers replaced, oil changed and the car checked over. They were super friendly, very knowledgeable, and did the repairs the same day. Their facility is 100% professional, clean and comfortable while waiting!
