Bosch Starters are Built to Handle Severe Weather

There are times when the hardworking starter in your customers' vehicle grinds and grinds, and then quits.

Starters from Bosch are designed to be up to the rigors of your customers' driving requirements and are built to withstand the harshest environment for the best performance and longest life.

There are times when the hardworking starter in your customers’ vehicle grinds and grinds, and then quits. Vehicles left outside in severe cold or high heat place a real burden on every starter component, from the castings right down to the nuts and bolts. Starters from Bosch are designed to be up to the rigors of your customers’ driving requirements and are built to withstand the harshest environment for the best performance and longest life.

Bosch starters are available for most domestic, Asian and European automobiles, light trucks and SUVs.

“Starters are obviously essential if you want to go anywhere with your vehicle, and a wise decision when installing a replacement is to make sure you’re getting the most capable starter that will handle tough starting in all kinds of weather conditions – heat or cold,” said Fred Padgett, Group Product Manager, Alternators and Starters, for Bosch. “And, be sure the starter is from a reputable manufacturer that stands behind its product.”

Professional Preferred starters from Bosch are 100 percent full-load tested, for instance, they meet or exceed the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) torque, amperage draw and RPM standards, for proven cranking and starting performance under all temperature extremes. Remanufactured starters feature 100 percent new premium quality components, including major heat related/wear items such as starter drive and field coil, to withstand excessive heat and high electrical demands. If an armature cannot be re-machined to Bosch standards, the armature is replaced with a 100 percent new armature.

Featuring the latest manufacturing technology, these premium starters, new or remanufactured, are backed by a limited lifetime warranty and Bosch’s Ultimate Protection Plan. This exclusive plan offers free, emergency roadside assistance 24/7, within two years from date of purchase – for unparalleled peace of mind.

Bosch is a proud supporter of the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association’s Know Your Parts education and awareness campaign. This initiative promotes the importance of quality brand name aftermarket parts backed by full service suppliers, and its impact on delivering reliable products to today’s motorists.

When Your Shop Is Worth Much More Than You Thought

Although every sale of a shop in which I am involved has its own unique set of circumstances, which makes my job both very interesting and very challenging, Cowden Automotive stands out as particularly memorable because I was able to demonstrate to the long-time owner, Paul Cowden, that his business was worth about three times what he had initially thought.

I sometimes share case studies of the clients I have been able to assist in my role as an aftermarket business broker and provider of intermediary and advisory services. I do that when I think the story will provide a reader in similar circumstances with new insights or helpful information.
In the case of Cowden Automotive, Inc., I acted in a consulting capacity assisting the owner and his broker in valuing the business, creating a marketing plan, finding a qualified buyer, and arranging financing for the sale.

Needless to say, delivering that kind of good news to a shop owner is a rewarding experience.
