Repair: Some mechanics in Pakistan might suggest repairing the starter motor. However, if internal components are severely damaged, this might be a temporary solution. Over time, repaired starters may fail again.
Replacement: Replacing the starter motor is usually a more reliable long-term solution, especially if the motor is worn out o r damaged beyond repair. Its worth considering the cost of repairs vs. the peace of mind a new motor provides.
