Looks like you found the right spot. And the right guy. I remember when there was one of those shops in Tucson. Long time ago. The bays were $20 a day, and the guy got $25/hour. There was even a parts store next door, real handy.
You might be able to R&R the tooth ring on the flywheel/flexplate. It will be cheaper to get a starter with a lifetime guarantee from a national chain auto parts store, than to swap out gears with good teeth from another dead starter core. You're not on an island.
