The cost of replacing a car starter varies depending on the make and model of your vehicle, labor charges, and the quality of the replacement part. On average, a starter replacement can cost between $300 to $800, including both parts and labor.

The price of the starter itself typically ranges from $100 to $400, depending on whether it’s an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part or an aftermarket alternative. OEM starters tend to be more expensive but are designed specifically for your vehicle, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable performance. Aftermarket starters are often more affordable but may not always match the quality of an OEM part.

Labor costs also play a significant role in the total price. Mechanics usually charge between $100 and $400 for labor, depending on how difficult it is to access the starter. In some vehicles, the starter is easily accessible and can be replaced in less than an hour, while in others, it’s buried deep within the engine bay, requiring extensive labor to reach and replace.

If you want a convenient and reliable solution, opting for a starter-replacement service with mobile mechanics can be a cost-effective and time-saving choice. Professional technicians will come to your location and handle the replacement efficiently, ensuring your vehicle is back on the road with minimal hassle.
