It's just a name to sell crap.

Well, it's over, starter installed. Grand total is $168:

The starter itself, $118 at CarQuest, a rebuilt Mitsubishi/OEM by
"CarQuest brand" (whatever it means).

That's probably a CardOne rebuild. Those are OK. The other brand was
something like Wesley or something like that, and the were total crap.
All I really remember is it began with a W. Stay away from those.

I put a CarQuest rebuilt rack and pinion ($89, since I was an employee) in
an '85 Celica GTS and had no trouble for 40,000 miles, and then I gave the
car away.

I also rebuilt the alternator with the same parts CarQuest uses, and it
went 40,000 no problem.

You should be in good shape. Who installed it?
