Is your quote fair?

A quote between $461 and $742 is inside the band where half of all Honda Cr-v 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.

Bring it to the shop. Ask for the written estimate split into parts, labor hours and rate, and fees — then compare each line. A shop that explains a number above the range is doing its job; one that won't is telling you something too.
