    which would be the best to do

    1. get my starter reconditioned
    2. buy a new starter
    3. get a starter of of a breakers

    is there any other options i have?

    What type of vehicle is it off?

    If starters are a very common failure (eg Ford Transit) you may just get a new one. Buying a starter from a breakers is not really a great job IMO

    recon would be much cheaper than buying new and be of similar quality.

    you dont know what your getting from a breakers, it could be worse than what you've already got.
