The price of a car starter motor varies a lot, usually ranging from over 100 yuan to several thousand yuan. The specific price depends on factors like the type of vehicle, whether the part is original or not, and where you get it repaired. Here are the details:
-
Sedans: For ordinary domestic economy sedans, the starter motor usually costs 500 to 800 yuan. Joint-venture economy sedans are slightly more expensive, around 600 to 900 yuan. High-end imported sedans have starter motors with higher technical content and pricier parts, so they may cost 3,000 to 5,000 yuan.
-
Trucks: A starter motor for an ordinary truck is about 350 to 450 yuan. Heavy-duty trucks need more powerful and complex starters, so their prices can reach 1,500 to 2,000 yuan. Imported trucks’ starter motors are usually around 3,000 yuan.
-
SUVs: For compact SUVs like the Honda CRV, replacing the starter motor costs about 1,000 yuan.
-
Light commercial vehicles: For light commercial vehicles such as the SAIC Maxus V80, the cost of replacing the starter motor is generally a few hundred to 1,000 yuan.
Original starter motors are usually 300 to 2,000 yuan. They are reliable in quality and fit the vehicle well, but they are more expensive. Non-original starter motors are cheaper, generally 300 to 400 yuan, but their quality can vary a lot.
At 4S stores, the replacement price is usually around 600 yuan. 4S stores have professional technicians and good after-sales service, so their prices are higher. Ordinary auto repair shops are more flexible with pricing. Some can replace it for 500 yuan, and some even for about 200 yuan. However, the technical level and part quality of these shops can be uneven.
