Prices vary, but a starter for a 2019 Honda Accord typically ranges from about $40 for a used unit to $500+ for a new OEM part; remanufactured aftermarket starters usually run around $120-$260, with labor extra.
What affects the price
Several factors determine the final price: whether the part is new OEM versus aftermarket remanufactured or used, the engine variant (1.5L turbo vs 2.0L), the source (dealer, auto parts chain, or salvage yard), and whether a core charge applies. Labor costs and warranty terms also influence the total outlay.
Price ranges by purchasing option
The following sections summarize the typical price bands you’ll see for the starter, based on source and condition.
- New OEM starter: typically $300-$600 from a Honda dealer or OEM parts supplier. Higher or lower depending on engine variant and region.
- Remanufactured aftermarket starter: commonly $120-$260, often with a separate core charge ($0-$40) that is refunded when you return your old unit.
- Used or salvage-yard starter: roughly $40-$120, offering the lowest upfront price but with higher risk of wear and limited warranties.
Choosing between new OEM, remanufactured aftermarket, or used depends on how you weigh cost, reliability, and warranty. OEM parts tend to offer the best long-term reliability and a warranty; remanufactured units offer a balance of cost and reliability; used parts are cheapest but carry the most risk.
Installation and extra costs
Labor and related fixes can significantly affect the total price. If you hire a shop, the price you see for the part will not be the whole story.
- Labor to install a starter: commonly $120-$300, depending on shop labor rates and the vehicle's accessibility.
- Additional costs: diagnostic fees, mounting hardware, wiring work, and related components if they show wear (battery, alternator, flywheel, solenoid).
