When I was a time duty air force at Langley they had some stupid rules and a very poorly setup aircraft parking area.
Long story short, the standard cars and trucks plus all the specialty motorized machines had to be stopped and started 30 to 50 times per day.
My job, because it covered such a wide area and every single aircraft had me starting my vehicle 70 to 100 times per day.
I thought wow they must change starters on these vehicles every week.
Nope they lasted around 3/4 the time you would normally get.
The only vehicle that ever had any issue was when motor pool replaced the heave duty starter on a dodge diesel with a standard one, those burned out quick.
Otherwise all they ever used for replacement starters was factory originals.
No cheap auto zone junk.
