Starters and Ignition Repair in Grand Junction
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 Horizon Automotive Service Center enhance your vehicle's start-up with a high-amp battery and a high-torque mini starter.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I had a check engine light come on that told me the DEF and exhaust system was not performing properly and might result in performance & MPG issues. Sarah set me up with an appointment within 2 days. Brian and his crew fixed the problem in a few hours at a VERY reasonable rate and I was on my way. I highly recommend Horizon Automotive.

Driving through Grand Junction, on a long road trip, our car developed a brake problem. Brian Burford, the owner of the shop, met us personally, diagnosed the problem immediately, ordered the part and had it delivered to the shop, and installed it right away. He had us back on the road in the shortest possible time, and charged a very reasonable fee. I can't recommend this shop highly enough. Thanks Brian for your outstanding customer service!

We stopped by this fantastic repair shop unexpectedly during our cross-country trip due to a car issue. The team there went above and beyond to diagnose the problem, which turned out to be a manufacturer's defect. We were truly impressed by their honesty, kindness, and professionalism. This is exactly the kind of reliable service I wish we had back home. A heartfelt thank you to the entire staff for making us feel so well taken care of. You really helped put our minds at ease!
