Good morning

About a month ago I got an oil change as part of a coupon deal that offers a general inspection as part of the service. I’m sure many places offer something similar.

In the days following the oil change, my starter begin having trouble not turning. Over the last month it has been hit or miss over whether the starter would turn on the first try or not. The majority of the time the starter will turn on the initial try. If the initial try does not work, I can usually let the car kind of power on and then get the starter to turn.

My question is, how likely or possible is it that during the oil change or ‘inspection’ the starter could have been affected?

The car in question is a Honda Accord 2015. However I’m not sure how relevant the make and model is to the general question.
