Its easy enough to remove yourself.
it sits just under the intercooler,

so disconnect your battery (VERY IMPORTANT, do +ve and -ve.)
take off your intercooler, remover the +ve battery lead from the starter motor and its just several bolts to take it out.
better than paying someone $80 and hour to do it..

The starter might just need a grease so the cog moves in and out easily....check this yourself.
