Well, that's mostly true. However, it has nothing to do with being a
woman. And, it's a lesson most of us have learned.

And, educating yourself CAN help. You're learning about "standard
practices" in the industry, the hard way, by examining the bloody pieces
left after surgery. Only a custom, specialty shop will "spec" rebuild
your starter. A mainline shop will replace it with a good rebuilt, for
the flat rate. Done deed. You're lucky it's not a Delco-Remy replacement!
