Toyota Repair: replace starteron 2000 Toyota avalon, toyota avalon, solenoid

Question
I think the starter on my Toyota may be out. when i try to start it it makes a click noise and thats it. can it be the solenoid or should i replace both?

Answer
The starter and solenoid are usually replaced as one unit and is the recommended repair although the solenoid is usually the real problem, some parts stores may have replacement units but it has to be removed from the starter and replaced, if you are doing this yourself you may consider doing so but if a shop does this there will be additional labor which may offset any savings.
