What do you do if your starter motor goes on your car, can you simply start it by jump starting the car?
You cannot jump start a car with a bad starter because jump starting still uses the starter and is only any good for a dead battery.
Even if its a manual transmission, do not try to bump start it (push it along then release the clutch), as this may destroy the catalytic converter and those are expensive to replace.
Changing the starter is relatively easy. Disconnect the battery before doing anything. They are usually fixed by 3 or 4 bolts (plus the connections). Take it to you local auto store and trade it for a reconditioned one. The store will give you the correct replacement.

you most likely will want to consult the dealer simply to see what the exact starter you need and then go to napa and buy the starter, i say napa because they have lifetime warranties on their parts. You can do the job yourself its not the easiest but its definitely something you can do yourself. You can't just jump it because that would only help the battery.
You can't jump start a car that has a bad starter. If its a manual shift you may be able to start it by pushing it and then letting out the clutch with the key turned on. You definitely need a starter that is made to fit your car. There is no such thing as a universal one fits all.

Have it towed to the garage. The nature of your questions indicate that you have no business trying to replace a starter motor.
