Default power window problem

I think my power window motor is going out I can roll it partially down but it gets slower and slower and then gets stuck. Anyways my question is where do I go about getting a new motor I live in FT.Worth is there someone around this area that does these fixes besides the dealership. Any info would be great Thank you

Don't get the ones from eBay....no offense.

Autozone's Siemens Model for $55 + shipping. Do it yourself. Took me 2 hours first time on Drivers Side.

I got a new GM replacement cheap from one of the ebay stores - works but is noisy, and didn't come with the bolts/nuts. Next time I'm spending the extra money at Auto Zone.

Autozone motors are the ones I used. They work great and have lifetime warranty. Very easy. Finished both windows in an hour and a half.

Yeah, the Autozone motors work well. It's not too hard to replace them yourself if you have some basic tools. If you are not comfortable with tearing your door apart, then most shops will charge you around an hour labor each to change them out.
