Very, very, VERY TIRED, but I got the job done thanks to you! It was a simple job like you said, it was just the element of doing something for the first time that made it feel so exhausting. Felt really rewarding however once everything was finished and I heard the sound of my Corolla running again! Thanks again 😊👍
Nice job! Glad you were able to get it done by yourself, stay safe out there!
Man.....I'm watching this and dreading having to do it Lol. But it has to be done.

Great video. Thanks for the help. Just finished switching it out 👍😎
My words exactly!
We used your video to replace our starter on our rust bucket Corolla. Gotta keep it going for another 190k miles!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Two Thumbs up. My 260 000km Corolla had this exact problem, was able to do it in 3h 😂😴. But hey, the part cost me 30$, no labor, and hopefully this car will last another 100 000km😁
It's wild to think this many people changed their own starters in this vehicle. Nobody's watching this solely for enjoyment.
To echo others, concise, accurate and easy-to-follow video.
Never worked on a car in my life. Just changed my starter with this video. You saved me 350$. Thx!
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped that is awesome!
An awesome detailed tutorial. I would recommend this tutorial to anyone, it's very clear and concise. Because I'm not a mechanic and unfortunately do come from a layman's point of view, I would suggest to others, when placing the starter into the bell housing, make sure the wires are clear from point of entry, otherwise you may insert the starter and then crank down the two starter bolts until you discover the power wire has been lodged and pinched between the seal. Another suggestion; when positioning the shroud, be beware that there are left side & right side Shroud slide in attachments found at the base of the shroud to seat the frame,.
Hi Brian thanks for watching and the feedback for other viewers!
Thanks so much! Literally sitting in my '03 'Rolla right now, breathing a sigh of relief. Your video was very instructive and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Glad it helped and made this look doable for you. Good luck!
Watched a few other videos about this before starting, but you demostrating how to take off the fan shroud was key for me. Plenty of room to work and having never replaced a starter before it took me less than 30 minutes from start to finish. Thank you Sir.
Thank you so much for this detailed and clear description in replacing Toyota Corolla starter. I'm not a handyman, and this is my first time replacing the starter. I succeeded because of this video. Thank you and thank you!
This is the perfect video for anyone who needs to change their starter. Just did mine. Thanks for the great video
Thanks for watching and the positive feedback!
Your video saved us when we broke down three hours away from home! We managed to replace the started by ourselves! Never done that before !
Thanks for watching! That is awesome to hear and glad you were able to get your starter replaced. Thanks again for watching!
It's good you did. Mechanics would've ripped you wide lol
Exactly what I needed, thanks. People on RUclips fixing cars have saved me hundreds
Thanks for watching, glad the video helped!
Easy to follow instructions and great video footage of what needs to be done. Got mine done in about 20 mins. Thanks!
Replaced my 2006 Corolla starter today thanks to your video. Really, pretty easy. 30 minutes or so. Finding the button to release the electrical clips was the hardest part for me. Everything else was straight forward thanks to you! I appreciate you making this video...helped me out greatly. Thanks, dude!
Thank you! Hey, wd40 helps with getting the clips off the wire to the fan. They came off super easy after applying a short controlled spray of dw40 directly on clips. Successfully replaced starter on 2003 Toyota Corolla.
Thanks for the feedback Andrew and thanks for watching!
Video is easy to follow. Did this today with my dad in about an hour thirty minutes.
Thank you very much for making this video. My starter died last night and was able to buy a new one and put it in myself because of you. And know I have a new skill :)
Thank you so much for sharing this video! Helping a friend who is always helping others. Kindness = more Kindness!
Hi Tod! You just heped a random girl in France! Thank you so so much! It took me 1,5h only! The hardest part was to assemble the starter back and fit the bolts through. My toyota (Corolla Verso 2005) is working after being dead for 2 weeks. Wooho, so happy! I wish you had a one-time donation option on your Patronite, that would be absolutely well deserved!
Awesome, glad this video helped you! Thanks for the kind words!
Clear, concise video - Doing mine this morning - Will edit with results - Thanks for the lesson!
(An hour later...) Finished, it went perfectly thanks to your video! - I ended up replacing the two zip-ties that hold the wiring harness to the fan shrouding as they snapped from age. The upper bolt in back was tricky to get to but did it all with a 3/8" socket wrench, 10mm deep socket and short 12mm and 14mm sockets and a screwdriver. Also took the liberty of deep-cleaning the battery terminals and connectors with the two-piece terminal cleaning tool.
Most amazing thing, I didn't curse once and that's something! No blood, no broken knuckles. Thanks Todd, and thanks unknown Toyota designer.
Thanks for watching, I am glad the video helped you to get your starter replaced!
Thank you for the excellent video and for helping a college student save $300!
Awesome, put that money towards some school books!
@@ToddsGarage Nice work! Is that new starter still working today?
@@keithc8108 a delayed response but I ended up replacing it with one from the autoparts store with a lifetime warranty!
Did this repair first try in under an HOUR thanks to your video!! Thank you so much!😊
Thanks for watching, I am glad the video helped!
Thanks for the video. The fan shroud was the most important aspect to know how to do. Other videos didn’t start with that…glad yours did! Made it easy.
I like how you get right to the point.
Thanks for watching
Great job in making a super useful, concise how-to for replacing the starter on my corolla. It was really handy having the extra room by taking the fan shroud off. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for this detailed step-by-step walkthrough of how to remove and replace the starter in an older Corolla. I have an 07 and everything went smoothly. I watched this video a couple of times before heading out to do it and it took only about 30 minutes to change it out. Having all the tools ready beforehand was helpful as you stated in your video what sizes are required. My car that wouldn't start on me is now functional again (I also replaced the starter relay to make sure everything was essentially new).
Thanks. Going to change my 2004s starter with 230k miles. This video should save me some time.
Nice! Your car has some serious miles on it like mine does.
Outstanding video! No fluff. No stupid music. Clear and straight to the point. Appreciate it!!
Thank you! This video helped huge!!!
Car has nearly 3k miles. I changed out my factory starter 2.5 years ago at Advanced Discount Auto. Starter was a little over a hundred bucks, but it had a lifetime warranty and they honored that. I think other auto parts stores do the same thing. So the fix was purely labor. This job took 2 hours the first time and only 1 hour the second time because we knew kinda what we were doing and this video helped a ton!
Excellent job!
Thx for this video! If anyone struggles with the top bolt, I eventually took the battery out and used a flashlight. Helped a lot. Cheers 🍻
Thank you, just got this done. Took about an hour. I couldn't get the clip to unclip from the fan though.
This was an awesome tutorial! Thanks for putting it together. I too bought an eBay refurb starter for my 2008 Corolla for $40 when I watched this video in 2020. I am back at this same tutorial replacing that refurb starter with another one 2 years later!
You get what you pay for
Thank you for your seamless instructional video! It made the process super easy for a non mechanical person. Was able to replace the starter in about an hour and saved some cash too!!
Thanks for watching and I am glad this video was helpful!
Just used your video today with little to no experience working with cars I had a lil help but we both managed pretty well with your help thank you , saved me $200+ thank you again.
Another day another starter job done thanks to your video
Thanks a lot Todd, your video helped me greatly! Was having little troubles finding one of the two big screws, but found it after I saw the video a second time. All in all one hour job and saved hundreds of dollars.
Thank you from Finland for your clear and well explained installation video! New starter motor installed and my corolla -06, got started well! Tomorrow I’ll see if the ignition problem with hot engine is gone!
Thanks for your video, saved me a fortune in garage bills. Well done
Thanks for watching, Glad it helped!
Thank you for the informative and detailed video!! Changed my starter in less than 30 minutes!! Luckily I started vehicle & turned on AC. Found out I forgot to plug in electric fan. I'll be looking for more of your videos.
Thank you for your video. I did mine today. Smooth operation. Your walkthrough is very welldone
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped!
Excellent video! At the moment, I'm broke down at a gas station with a bad starter, so I know what I'm going to be doing in the morning . . .
Especially liked the callouts of the socket sizes needed! That really helps . . . Of course the one you know you'll ALWAYS need on a Toyota is a 10mm, but it's good to know the rest. Also glad it's not buried on the other side on the engine.
Great video. Just swapped my gfs starter in about half an hour thanks to you!!
I like your videos, you show every step in the process. Some videos skip the clip removal or other miscellaneous steps that are important to people that only work on vehicles as needed rather than a daily basis.
I have a 2006 Corolla that I am about to change the starter for a second time. The last time I changed it was 2 years ago and this refreshes my memory. I had a valve cover oil leak (fixed now) that dripped oil on to the starter. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback and watching. Appreciate the kind words!
Great video. Just replaced mine. Took 1 hr. Removing the fan assembly made it super easy. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for the video. Followed your instructions to the T and had no issues.
Awesome. Glad you got it!
Just used this info to get mine changed out. In, out, and all cleaned up in an hour. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching, and glad this video helped!
I followed your video and completed the repair. Thank you so much. Watched several other ones but your was the best. Had everything I needed.
Thanks for watching! Appriciate the feedback!
Thank you for your video on how to remove the cover and replace the starter motor. Especially your precise instructions, my husband was able to replace the starter motor on my 2005 Toyota. M. Wilson
Thank you for your video! With a help of your advice I replaced the starter just a moment ago. Previously I had only replaced light bulbs and once the brake discs on the car. Thanks for sharing! :) (From Estonia)
Thanks for the useful video. I have had two Corollas, 2004 and 2005, both developed starter problems. First was due to the ground strap corroding off (no protection on it, no good in salt country) and second was brushes wearing out (I think). In both cases this renders the car 'dead', so knowing about the starter is important as these cars get older. cheers.
Good video. I've done a starter before but it's good to see a model specific video. Thank you.
Just replaced the starter on my lil' '07 Corolla CE. This video rocks. Thanks for taking the time to make/upload this!
Done in thirty minutes - exactly like described. Thanks
Thanks for watching, I am glad this video was helpful!
My toyota corolla didn't start this morning, after watching your video I'm going to replace my starter. I check in ebay and its only 38 ., so thank you for the video. I already suscribe
Appreciate you watching and for the subscribe. Good luck!
Thank you sooo much. I just replaced the starter on my ‘06 Corolla and it was a breeze! The thing completely stopped working a couple of days ago. You saved me a lot of money!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad it helped!!
Thank you for the video!!! Very informative and I am pleased to report that I just finished installing a starter in my Corolla and it was a complete success thanks to you!
That's awesome to hear! Thank you for watching.
@@ToddsGarage would u please tell me what number of the tool that u unscrew the starter nail?
Tnx for the vid bro👌 Sent a picture of the job already done to my mechanic with a nice “get out of my life” note😂✌️
Glad it helped, thanks for watching!
Good video.
In my experience with several Toyotas now, I have just replaced the contacts on the original starter and they worked perfect again. If you open up the starter, you will see what I mean about those contacts. Really simple and super cheap to do.
Thank you so much. Your break down encouraged me once I saw the simplicity of the job. Just finished after doing this in the cold at night. Did the removal steps during the day. No more than 3 hours total.. Being able to do something like this for myself means a lot to me in my life right now. I thank God for you and the help you provided with this vid. 🙏
Hi Donnell, Thanks for watching! I'm glad the video was helpful and great job getting the starter replaced yourself!
@@ToddsGarage ✊🏾
Cool. I just did it today on a 2006 Matrix. I had it jacked up and was gonna take it out from underneath, then realized I could just remove the fan shroud. Then I realized I had watched this video several years ago. Thanks!
This tutorial is great! Replaced my starter without a hitch after watching this. Thanks for taking the time.
Thank you for sharing this experience, now I can replace mine.
Thanks for watching. Good luck!
Very helpful video! Got my starter changed in under a hour after watching this wonderful thing.
Great video, thank you for making this job ten times easier! I'm subscribed now
Thanks appriciate the subscribe!
Great video, I was able to change mine in about an hour following your steps. Thank you for posting!
Thanks for this video. I was able to replace my daughter's starter today by following this video. It was very well done.
Thanks for the video. You just helped my change my first starter for 2022.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad the video helped!
Thank you for teaching me how to solve one of many problems.
I just changed my starter myself for only $50. Just found a starter on Amazon and it was the easiest swap I’ve ever done. Thank god for this video. Saved me $320
Thats awesome, nice job! Thanks for watching!
Great video I couldnt find mine totally got it now gonna order the parts today !!!
Awesome! And good luck.
thank you Todd for the video. good explanation and camera work
Thank you, appriciate the feedback. My wife did all the camera work, I'll pass it along. Thank you again.
Excellent video. Thank you very much. Did the job under a shade tree in about an hour.
Awesome to hear that. Thank you for watching.
I bought my 2003 Corrola NEW off the lot in May 2002. I drove it until last year and then gave it to my 17 year old son. This morning I get the call that "the car won't start". This car has 160,000+ miles on it. It sat for 2 years while I was stationed overseas from 04-06. Anyway, everything checked out except the starter. I followed your instructions and in less than an hour the car was running again. Excellent instructional video! The only thing I did differently was to remove the short bracket held on by two bolts that blocks access to the back starter mounting bolt. (this may be a model year thing) Easy two bolts and my pudgy hands were able to get to and see that back mounting bolt. The two bolts on the bracket are two different lengths, so keep track of that for reassembly. That's all I did to make it a little easier. Now hoping to get another 160K miles out of the car. Best car ever! I tell my son that every month his car runs and keeps getting him to class and work is like putting $350 a month in the bank! Again, EXCELLENT video!!!
Thanks for watching, what a great story. Glad you got it fixed.
Thanks a ton! Because of your video, I was able to replace my starter. I saved a bunch, and got I to fix something.
Same here. Saved $300. Followed your instructions and had 0 issues. Thanks!
Glad to hear that thanks for watching!
As others have pointed out the obvious it really is this simple. Watch the video and follow along. Job time approximately 1 hour. Thank you Todd's Garage!
Thank you for the video I didn’t know that it was so simple u just save me couple bucks
Thanks for watching, I am glad the video helped!
Even though I watched it today, it is an excellent video and easy to follow. Keep it up
Thanks for the feedback, appriciate it!
Thank you soo much super helpful video! I wish you woulda started it at the end just to show the finished product lol thank you again!
Thanks a thousand, was a lot simpler job than I ever imagined.
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped!
Now this is a well done video. It’s very clear for new people who have never done this. Thanks !!
Thanks for watching! Appriciate the feedback.
Dude thank you it was easy getting it out and done. Little muscle work but not to hard. Thank you Bro!!
You’re the real MVP Todd! Thank you sir
Just did this, thanks to you. The far bolt was a stinker but I got it. Unfortunately, when I rinsed my battery in driveway with hot water, I got a stain on driveway. If you ever do that, take it to a parking lot.
Thanks so much, I was able to get it done,You have just saved me from giving away $550.
Hi and thanks for watching! I am glad this video was helpful and that is awesome you saved that much money!
My 2006 Scion xA thanks you!!! Engine a little different but basic concept was there when all the Scion videos were either not relevant or not detailed...go Dodgers !!!!
Thanks im glad this worked for you! Thank you for watching!
thanks! used this video today to remove the denso starter from my sister's 2007 Corolla, however instead of replacing it I just thouroughly cleaned it and applied some red and tacky to the mechanism in the solenoid.
A little aggravating but pretty straight forward. Mine had a bracket in front if the throttle cable assembly that had to be removed in order to get to the starter bolts but, other than that, exactly like your vid showed. With it being a first time job for me it took abt 3 hours including time to rest my aching back from bending over front of car. Saved me at least a couple hundred bucks in labor charges. Good vid. Thanks.
Thanks for watching, and I am glad the video was able to help you get the starter replaced!
Super clear and informative. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback!
Gotta do my starter this weekend. Thanks for the informative video!
Thanks for watching and the feedback, good luck!
Excellent video, thank you for posting it was easy for me to change my daughter's starter!
Thanks for watching and I am glad the video helped!
U saved me 350$ thank you so much absolutely amazing video.
Thanks for watching! That is awesome to hear, glad you saved money!
Very informative and straight to the point really like this video very helpful thanks for the video
Thanks. I wasn't sure how to get to it but this was helpful. A tip for some if after you take out the bolts it stays in place tap it with a pipe wrench or something like it and it will loosen off. That's the issue i had but i got it.
Thanks for watching, glad the video helped!
Awesome video super helpful. I should have watched this before I jacket up the car ! would save me loads of time.
Thanks for watching, hopefully you got yours replaced ok!
Straight to the point. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching, I am glad the video was helpful!
Awesome video! Made changing the starter go like clockwork.Thanks a bunch!
Great job on iTunes starter replacement. Changed mine in no time. Thank you
Very clear instructions. Thank you for taking the time to upload this.
