A 2014 Honda Accord starter typically costs between about $100 and $400, depending on whether you buy remanufactured, aftermarket, or genuine OEM—and which engine your car uses.
The question deserves detail: the 2014 Accord offered two engines (a 2.4L four-cylinder and a 3.5L V6 in higher trims), and prices vary by supplier, part type, and warranty. This guide breaks down typical price ranges, where to shop, and what to expect for installation in 2026.
Pricing options
Pricing by part type
Prices fall into several tiers based on whether you choose a remanufactured aftermarket unit, a new aftermarket replacement, or a genuine OEM part from a Honda dealer. Here are typical ranges you’ll see.
- Remanufactured aftermarket starter: about $100–$200
- New aftermarket or OEM-equivalent starter: about $180–$350
- Genuine Honda OEM starter from a dealer: about $250–$450
Prices can vary by retailer, region, and whether the part includes a warranty or core credit. Always confirm compatibility with your exact engine and trim before purchasing.
Where to buy
Shopping around can yield meaningful savings. Consider these outlets for a 2014 Accord starter, and compare price, warranty, and shipping terms.
- Auto parts chains (AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, O'Reilly): typically offer remanufactured and new aftermarket options with store warranties.
- Online retailers and wholesalers (RockAuto, PartsGeek): often have broad price ranges and cross-checked compatibility.
- Honda dealership service departments: genuine OEM starters, often with dealer warranty but at the higher end of the price spectrum.
- General retailers (Amazon, eBay Motors): may list new, remanufactured, or used versions; verify condition and fitment.
When buying, verify the exact engine code and year to ensure compatibility (for example, the 2.4L I4 vs. the 3.5L V6). Some listings may specify compatibility only broadly; always double-check with the seller.
Installation and total cost
Installing a starter can be a DIY task, but many owners opt for professional installation. Labor times and costs vary by shop and region, but here are typical expectations.
Labor: Most shops charge about 1–3 hours of labor, depending on access and vehicle trim. Labor rates commonly range from $75–$125 per hour in many areas. Total labor costs often fall in the $100–$300 range.
All-in cost estimate: If you buy a remanufactured starter and pay for installation, a typical total outlay is around $200–$500. If you choose a genuine OEM starter from a dealer, expect the total to be higher—roughly $450–$750 when you include parts and labor. Prices can vary with location, warranty terms, and taxes.
Summary
For a 2014 Honda Accord, plan for about $100–$400 for the starter itself, with a total outlay of roughly $200–$750 once installation and potential warranty considerations are included. Shopping around and confirming exact compatibility will help you lock in the best price.
Additional notes
Always check your vehicle’s engine code and trim level to ensure the starter you buy matches your car. If you’re unsure about installation, a professional diagnostic and installation can prevent compatibility issues and ensure a proper reset of related electrical systems.
