Thanks again Rich.
I'm just a little frustrated today. I took my starter today to the 'good' shop to get rebuilt, and they flat refused to give any price range. Saying only, 'It'll cost, what it costs.' Sorry, but I don't write blank checks to businesses I don't know.
Would you do business with a roofing company (for example) that came to shingle your house with only a quote for, 'It'll cost what it costs'? This might be a smaller scale, but its the same idea.
I work too hard and too long to put with with that crap. I'd rather buy a new one, or 2 rebuilds on ebay. At least there's a warranty, and I know what it costs.
