I USUALLY tell them that the motor needs to be replaced and that they should call a pool guy. I write up an invoice for a service call and I'm on my way.

Once in a while I will go the extra step and replace the motor but it ends up taking a few hours just to take it in or find a whole new unit. Then what happens if I break a pipe or valve trying to install the new one.

If it is out of my scope (the electrical system that operates the motor) I generally have them call someone who does that for a living.
