Is your quote fair?
A quote between $368 and $649 is inside the band where half of all Chevrolet Silverado 1500 throttle body replacements landed. Below it is not automatically a bargain (a cleaning that solved it, or an aftermarket unit); above it is not automatically gouging (OEM electronic throttle body with programming, intake components disturbed) — but both ends deserve a question.
What moves the price
- Clean or replace — carbon buildup sometimes cleans up; a failed motor or sensor means replacement.
- Relearn — many vehicles need an idle relearn or scan-tool procedure after replacement.
