Quality-Built 12078 QB Premium Remanufactured Import Starter

The Quality-Built 12078 is a QB Premium remanufactured import starter motor engineered to meet or exceed original equipment (OE) fit, form, and function. Produced by Motor Car Parts of America (MPA) — the largest remanufacturer of import starters and alternators in North America — this unit delivers professional-grade reliability backed by a rigorous remanufacturing process.

Unlike a typical rebuilt starter that may reuse worn components, every wear-prone part in this QB Premium unit is replaced with a new component regardless of its condition at the time of remanufacture. The result is a starter that performs like new from day one.

Key Features:

• 100% New Brushes — Worn brushes are the #1 cause of starter failure; QB replaces them entirely for unmatched performance and longevity
• Precision-Machined Armatures & Commutators — Electronically tested for consistent, reliable starting performance
• 100% New Bronze-Sintered Bushings — Oil-impregnated armature support bushings for maximum wear resistance and quiet operation
• Remanufactured Solenoid Assembly — Completely disassembled and rebuilt with 100% new copper contacts, terminal hardware, and high-temperature solenoid caps
• Drive Clutch Remanufactured — Fully dismantled and sealed with aerospace-quality grease for maximum durability and precise engagement
• Blasted-Clean Housings — All mounting threads inspected and re-tapped for easy installation and consistent torque
• 100% OE-Quality Terminals — High-temp insulators ensure secure and reliable electrical connections
• ISO/TS 16949 Certified Facility — Manufactured under strict quality guidelines, the global benchmark for automotive parts suppliers
• 1-Year Warranty — Backed by Quality-Built's standard limited warranty

Quality-Built starters undergo extensive Durability Testing and Root Cause Analysis at their state-of-the-art Technology Center, with each unit tested both before and after remanufacture. This process identifies common failure points and implements engineering improvements, so the finished product often surpasses OE performance standards.
