Got car towed this morning and checked the battery. Checked out ok. Just that familiar clicking sound of the starter when I turn the key. Their price of a starter is $266 + $78 Labor.
Autozone starter is $149. Do not know what the shop would charge for labor with my own part. Don't really want to do my own work on their property. Just doesn't seem right somehow. They said the starter would have to be replaced before they could do a diagnostic check for the codes. True or not true?
