i have never serviced an electric motor, is this worth paying a shop to do?
Yes! It is an easy task to carefully take a motor apart and clean the
sawdust and wood chips from the area of the electrical connections. In
some motors this can be done by remove a cover.

If you do take it to a shop, comparison shop. I found the small
independent shops were more reasonable and less strict in their pricing
structure.

At one point I thought my table saw motor had died, but when I took it
to a small independent shop the guy basically blew it out and charged me
a couple of dollars to take it apart and clean it. (Wood chips had
gotten into the electrical contacts and would not allow them to close.)
