Make sure it is the starter
A weak battery or a corroded cable can sound exactly like a bad starter. Testing the battery and the starter circuit first avoids replacing a starter that was fine.

Common Questions
Commonly about 100,000 to 150,000 miles. Cars that make many short trips use the starter more and can wear it out sooner.
Yes. A weak battery makes the starter draw more current and work harder, and it makes the alternator run hard trying to recharge it. Replacing a failing battery protects both.
