is this a mini starter?Donald C.Aug 25, 2022
Best Answer:Hi Donald, I'm pleased to assist you. I'm a bit confused about what you mean by a mini starter. This is a direct fit starter for the specified vehicle applications (stock replacement). Can you send us the year, make, model, submodel, and engine size of the vehicle or the 17-character VIN so we can check the fitment? We look forward to hearing from you. Have a good one.

Customer Reviews

Qb Premium Starter, Remanufactured
Easy fix at a good price
The starter went out in my '05 Yukon and this was the lowest price starter I found on the web. It was not too difficult to install, but I am glad I didn't need instructions, as every other page in the installation guide was blank.
