The 2014 Patriot can have different engines (2.0L or 2.4L) and trim options, and prices vary by supplier, condition, and part number. This explainer outlines typical price bands, where to shop, and what to factor in when budgeting for the part and installation.
Pricing landscape
Before you shop, understand the main price bands by condition and source.

Prices vary by engine variant, exact part number, and supplier. Core charges and shipping can affect total cost; verify compatibility with your VIN before purchase.
Where to shop
Shop around across retailers and marketplaces to compare fit, pricing, and warranty. Be sure to confirm the exact part number that fits your Patriot’s engine and VIN.
- AutoZone / Advance Auto Parts / O'Reilly: new aftermarket throttle bodies, price range roughly $180-$320 depending on engine fit and part number.
- RockAuto: wide range including OEM and aftermarket, typically $120-$350; often the lowest listed price due to multiple brands.

- Used or salvage marketplaces (eBay, junkyards): bargain options, typically $50-$150 if the part is compatible.
Always verify compatibility, check whether a core charge applies, and review return policies. For remanufactured units, confirm that the unit has been tested and includes a warranty.
Installation considerations
DIY vs professional service
Replacing a throttle body is manageable for a handy DIYer with basic tools, but most owners opt for professional installation to ensure proper calibration and to avoid vacuum leaks. Labor costs vary by region; expect roughly $100-$300 for labor in many shops, in addition to the part price above.
What to check before buying
Verify the exact engine code (2.0L vs 2.4L), the correct throttle body that fits your VIN, and whether new gaskets or throttle body mounting hardware are included or must be purchased separately. Some applications require idle relearn or calibration after installation.
Summary
For a 2014 Jeep Patriot, throttle body prices range from around $50 to more than $600 depending on condition and source. Expect to budget part costs in the $150-$350 range for typical aftermarket or remanufactured units, with OEM parts often higher, and add $100-$300 for labor if you hire a shop. Always verify compatibility with your engine variant and VIN, and consider warranties or core charges when comparing offers.
