My starter intermittently will not engage and then eventually engage and start fine. I am worried one day this will leave me stranded. I have no garage and limited tools, but i could probably resolve both of those. I am fairly handy with this car.

How much of a pain is it to replace the starter?
Should I consider refurbing the starter?
Should I jsut bite the bullet and play it safe, let the indy do it for $475 all inclusive?

Thanks

Happy Weekend
