In a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu, the starter is located above the oil pan, close to the oil filter. When replacing it, always remember to disconnect the battery first to avoid any risk of electric shock. It's better to be cautious than regretful. A new starter for a '16 Malibu typically costs between $200 and $280 at most major auto part stores. If you opt for a mechanic to replace it, the cost can range from $350 to $530, so doing it yourself can save you a substantial amount. Replacing the starter is not overly complicated, and you can easily spot it as a horizontal silver cylinder, but if it has been changed before, the starter may be black instead.
The place where you can find the starter on a 2016 Chevy Malibu is situated in between the engine and the transmission.
