i have never serviced an electric motor, is this worth paying a shop
to do?

Probably less expensive to buy a new one if it is a fractional HP.

Now is the time to learn! If you are going to buy a new motor, why not
try to refurbish the old one? You might learn something. If you have to
buy a new one there is nothing lost if you were going to buy a new one
in the first place.
