Starters and Ignition Repair in Athens
If you own a high-performance engine don't overlook a starter that struggles to turn over. The intense engine compression ratio of high-performance cars can burn out traditional OEM starters that are unable to get a car or truck pistons to move up and down fast enough. Adding a high torque starter and ignition system can add the extra cranking power a high-performance vehicle needs.
In addition, high-performance engines take up more space creating less room for the starter. High torque starters are lighter and smaller than an OEM starter to provide increased ground, oil pan, and header clearance. Turn over your engine reliably in the driveway or on the track and let Classic City Motorworks install a new high-amp battery and high-torque mini starter today.

- Ensures your engine starts quickly and consistently
- Supports proper communication between the battery, starter, and ignition components
- Helps prevent being stranded due to unexpected failure
- Contributes to overall vehicle reliability and performance
- Reduces the risk of more costly repairs caused by neglected issues
