Question How much does it cost to fix driver side power window

My driverside powerwindow will not go down at all. I was curious to know if i will have to replace the motor and how much this might set me back.
Thanks

Do a search for Shoebox's site,as it has the whole story with pictures and everything.Expect about 8 hours for doin it yourself.Previous posts have said that Autozone has the motors,but i don't think they are any good.My02

Here is some info if you want to do it yourself. Most people that have never had the door panel off, have told me that it took them two to three hours. If you are handy, you will be done sooner.

LOL 8 hours???? 1st of all, it took me like 45 mins to swap out my driver side window motor (including drilling)

2nd of all, autozone sells the same window motor has GM does, plus it comes with the life time warrenty. Its only 50 bucks

edit: scyzoryk beat me to it

I did my passenger side in like 40 minutes or so, also used good ole shoebox site. I was just about to pull the whole regulator out when I came across that how to.
It really saved some time and energy.
