Is your quote fair?

A quote between $347 and $572 is inside the band where half of all Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD starter replacements landed. Below it is not automatically a bargain (remanufactured starter mounted in the open); above it is not automatically gouging (OEM starter buried under the intake manifold or exhaust, corroded cables replaced) — but both ends deserve a question.

What moves the price

Where it lives — on some engines the starter is right on top; on others it hides under the intake — that's the whole price difference.
New vs. remanufactured — reman starters are common and much cheaper.
Battery and cables — a good shop rules them out before selling a starter.
