Mechanic Job in New Haven, Connecticut

I have a 2007 Ford Taurus that won’t start and is parked in the Crown st. Lot across the street from Bar Pizza. Almost certain the problem is a gear-flywheel connection in the starter. It’s a no-turn, no-start, and the only sound is a high pitched whirrinrg. Starter was replaced about 6 months ago by a friend of mine, but it’s only recently that the starting troubles started.
