Starter Motor for Kia Sorento: Carbon Steel
This starter motor for the Kia Sorento is specified around carbon steel, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is a supplier who changed material without saying so, or a specification nobody had written down. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. ISO/TS 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
