Is the starter going out? the battery is still new what else could be wrong with it?my car has 141k miles on it. The car turned on again after few tries. I want to fix it before I get stranded somewhere next time

Thanks. Can I take it to autozone to test it to make sure it's the starter? If its the starter how much will parts and labor cost? Thanks in advance

went to autozone to have the starter checked and the techinician said everything was normal. can the starter still be going bad even if it was tested normal? can it be electrical problem?

thanks for the input. i'm just gonna go ahead and get a new starter. even if it's not the starter it will eventually need to be changed due to the high mileage....
