Default any good shops in dallas

the starter in my LS400 died today (yes i checked everything, battery is good, starter is clicking rapidly with no crank), and i know replacing the starter in the LS is hard to do, well not hard, but a pain...6hrs labor i've seen quoted..

anyway i'm looking to get a price of no more than $300-320 total as i'm in between jobs at the moment but need this car to get around (sold old car and put in savings)

are you mechanically inclined at all? you can do it in a day, it would be pretty tiring, but doable
