In the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, the starter can be found on the passenger side of the engine, at the front and towards the bottom near the oil dipstick. The starter is responsible for cranking the engine to initiate the car's start-up process. Typically, the starter in the Malibu should function properly for approximately 100,000 to 150,000 miles. You might notice a failing starter when the car doesn't start but you hear a clicking sound during startup, the engine fails to crank, or there is smoke emitting from the vehicle. Replacing the starter could cost around $80 to $100 for labor, with additional expenses for parts.
