Is there some kind of test a auto shop can run on a starter to see if it’s bad or going bad? I know you can test to see if an altanator is working right and if a battery is holding a charge, just wondered how you can figure out if a starter is bad?

How do you know if your starter is bad?

What kind of life do starters have? Is it out of place for a starter that is over 8 years old and over 136,000 miles on the car to go bad?
