Dew Drop Inn sounds pretty good though... similar to what I liked about TK's- the small crunchy wings. TK's was always packed, no way they sold that business unless forced. They must have been doing like 2 million a year in sales

You may look into a service like wrench or your mechanic if getting it there is an issue.

They don't service every area in CT but I've had good luck with those services out west for really simple repairs like a starter.

Ah 2nd this. It will usually get you a good few turnovers before it sticks entirely.

Don't even have to do it gently, I used to wail on my old vw starters with a rubber mallet because I swear they'd blow out every year.

Better if you have someone turn it over while doing but not always a necessity.

Check the ground/battery connections too as a just in case.

Have you tried tapping the starter gently with a hammer while someone turns the ignition? May be able to avoid the tow.

I really like Ricks in Hamden. They do a nice job and I’m usually surprised by how inexpensive it is.

I’ve used East Rock Auto as well and they’re fine in a pinch.

Just had some work done at Chucks Garage in West Haven. Great honest service and fair price.

I take my fleet to Amity motors and have had a few personal cars through them as well.

Brent is a pretty fair guy. Not bottom of the barrel pricing but fair for whatever work it may be.
