Where the Chevy Silverado 1500 starter is listed
We found priced Chevy Silverado 1500 starter listings at 407 salvage yards across 41 states. Illinois supplies the most, with 656 listings (16% of the total) from 21 yards.

Market analysis
How much does a used Chevy Silverado 1500 starter cost?
Asking prices for a used Chevy Silverado 1500 starter are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 114% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $139.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 3.0L, lists at a $136 median, while 2.7L commands $165, a 21% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2018 units carry the lowest median at $56, while 2021 tops the table at $165. Parts from 2014–2024 are interchangeable, so if the 2018 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Chevy Silverado 1500 sits 7% above the Ford F150 ($126), 22% above the Mercedes E Class ($111), and 8% above the Mercedes S Class ($125) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used starter: what to check
- Ask if the unit was bench-tested. Starters are cheap to test and yards that do will say so.
- Match the flywheel tooth count and mounting bolt pattern to your engine code.
- Check the solenoid connector style; mid-year changes are common.
- A remanufactured unit with warranty is sometimes only slightly more than used, so compare both.
