A throttle body replacement can cost anywhere from $250 to $650, depending on the type of car you drive and the repair shop you choose. The cost can be broken down into two parts: the cost of the throttle body itself and the labor charges from the shop.
The throttle body part will typically cost between $200 and $500, depending on the type of car that you drive. Labor costs for this kind of repair are typically relatively low, so you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 to have the part professionally installed.
