Hopefully he will do some voltage drop testing first.

It is an Automatic.

Tried to bang it. Wiggle it. Etc.

Thought it was hard start syndrome, but cooled down and now nothing still.

It was low on coolant, but seems unrelated to start. Oil leak, but still on the stick. 

I have a feeling it is the starter. I have been in denial since I replaced it a couple years ago on my own.

I have a local guy coming to take a look.
