Default Need ideas for less expensive pool cover & motor replacement

are we talking replacing/fixing just a motor or is this the price

The pool cover is torn at the edge and the motor doesn't spin when I turn
the key.

They quoted me assuming the motor and pool cover needed to be replaced,
but, said if the motor doesn't need it, then they'll just replace the
cover.

Since I now now (after their quote) that the motor is 1200 bucks if it
needs replacing, I'm better off taking it to a motor-fix-it place as per
your recommendation.

The cover is the tough thing. I'd like to just cut off the first two feet
and then sew it (somehow) back to the pipe that it's attached to in front
but they said they had to replace the whole cover at hugely inflated
prices!
