LOL - The link is for Bernardi (Acura of Boston, Bernardi Audi, Bernardi Honda, Bernardi Toyota, Bernardi Hyundai) but they ship their parts out of Natick - at least the ones I have received.

 

I work at carquest and the starters are alright. Advance auto parts bought out car quest so its really the same stuff. Like NBP said I'd try to stay with OEM starter. Some times starters have shims on them so the alignment is correct but if you buy OEM you know it'll fit and last for longer than a few years. If it's the starter I need to buy NBP a drink.

 

It's all about helping each other out and diagnostics via the interwebs isn't an exact science But I will take you up on that drink -

 

FWIW, I used an AZ starter in my TSX and have had no problems for several years. Starter replacement is not a bad DIY project.

good luck

 

I looked at the "AZ" and was thinking Acurazine but then I got it.

 

So I would like to say that my car is finally working again. It was the starter. I notice the starter that was going bad kinda ate a part of my fly wheel ):
It's not that bad though. It's just about maybe 3-6 teeth on the fly wheel that got a bit messed up. The job took me about 2 hours and 40 minutes. I gotta say that this wasn't that hard at all. The only problem I really had was trying to get that long bolt out from the starter as I had no leverage. The fix was to just completely remove the intake manifold out.
Thanks everyone for sticking through with me for the last couple of days!!! I bought a starter from advance auto pArt if anyone wanted to know. Works great!!!
I'm happy now =D

 

Sounds good and thanks for letting us know how things played out.

 

Glad to hear it worked out. Guess I owe nbp a drink. Hopefully you come back to az and found it helpful.
