Speaker 7:Good morning. How can I help you today?
Speaker 1:Hi. My car is making a strange noise.
Speaker 4:Can you take a look at it?
Speaker 7:Of course. What kind of noise are you hearing?
Speaker 1:It's a sort of grinding sound when I start the engine.
Speaker 7:I see. Let's pop the hood and take a look.
Speaker 4:Sure. Here you go.
Speaker 7:Thank you. It could be the starter motor. Have you noticed any other issues?
Speaker 1:No, the car runs fine otherwise.
Speaker 7:All right, I'll do a quick diagnostic. It shouldn't take long.
Speaker 1:Great, thank you. I hope it's not a big problem.
Speaker 7:Don't worry. We'll sort it out. It seems like the starter motor needs replacement.
Speaker 1:Oh, how much will that cost?
Speaker 7:The part itself is around $150 and labor would be $100
Speaker 4:Alright. How soon can you get it fixed?
Speaker 7:I can have it done by tomorrow afternoon.
