So when I got in the car today, put the key in and tried to start it, but there was no cranking or anything. The only thing I could hear was one click when I tried to start it. My mom called AAA and they came out while I was at school. Apparently the guy banged on the starter with a hammer while my mom tried to start it, and finally it started after they did this. Its now at the shop. So is my starter what needs to be replaced or could it be something else?
