What’s the cost of repairing o r replacing a burnt starter motor in Hyundai Elantra in Pakistan?

My mechanic in Rawalpindi says my Elantras starter motor is burnt and needs replacement. What is the typical cost of repair vs. full replacement in Pakistan? Are refurbished starter motors reliable, o r should I go for a new one?

Costs vary by city and whether you choose a genuine, aftermarket, o r refurbished starter motor:

Repair brush replacement, solenoid fix:
PKR 3,000–6,000

Useful for minor wear not suitable for fully burnt o r melted motors

Refurbished starter motor:
PKR 8,000–15,000

Available in markets like Plaza Karachi, Bilal Gunj Lahore, Saddar Rawalpindi

Reliable if bought from a known mechanic o r shop

Brand new OEM o r Korean aftermarket:
PKR 25,000–45,000

Hyundai Nishat dealerships offer warranty-backed new units, but at higher prices

Around PKR 2,000–3,500

Advice:
If your car is 5+ years old and money is tight, a refurbished motor with warranty is a good option. For peace of mind, especially if you drive long distances, go for new OEM.
