I just had to replace my starter a few weeks ago. At Autozone I was able to get a starter for $125, that's including turning in my old starter to them. Otherwise I think it was going to be an extra 40 bucks or something.

I did it myself, it's really not that bad of a job except for the fact that the starter is a total pain in the freaking *** to get to. The top bolt is located above the transmission bellhousing (on an S13 that is) and definately would require an angle ratchet, which I didn't have at the time.

However, it's definately worth the hour's worth of labor time you'll pay at a mechanic to do it yourself.
