Did you hook up a battery directly to the starter to test it?

Sadly, on short notice I learned all about fixing a starter. This due to $188 tow from my driveway to dealer 4 miles away and then charged just under $900 to replace starter since I had already checked fuses etc. Initially they quoted me $1300 and I told him to get the starter from Subaru which accounted for the $500 drop. In the future and when my DD is not blocked into the garage I will swap my own starter for less than $400. And the dealer had the nerve to charge me 3x hours labour (@$130/hr) for the job. I asked the service writer what the mechanic will do for the extra 2.5 hours to keep busy. LoL
