Which starter fits a 2019 Impala 3.6L?

The Autopart Premium unit. It lists 2019-2020 Premier and LT coverage; the TYC unit is listed only through 2017.

Are these OEM GM starters?

No. Both are aftermarket replacements. Expect a shorter service life than a factory Delco unit, though both are direct bolt-in.

Hard to separate on paper. TYC has the longer public track record; the PGParts unit publishes its 1.4 kW rating, which matches the factory spec for this engine.

Do I need to check the tooth count?

Yes. The PGParts unit uses a 12-tooth pinion. Confirm your flexplate matches before installing, especially on 2012-2013 cars.

Is it worth stepping up to a GM original?

If you plan to keep the car past 150,000 miles, a Delco reman or new unit is the more durable choice. For an older high-mileage Impala, either aftermarket unit is reasonable.

Will either fit a 3.6L Police Impala?

Only the PGParts unit lists Police-package coverage, and only for 2012-2013.

TYC Starter Motor Chevrolet Impala 3.6L vs PGParts Starter for Chevrolet Impala 3.6L V6

Both are aftermarket starters for the 3.6L V6 Impala, so the real choice is fitment coverage and brand support. The Autopart Premium (PGParts) unit covers 2012-2020, including the 2019-2020 Premier and later LT trims, while the TYC unit is listed for 2012-2017 only. TYC is the better-known name in replacement starters and has a broader distribution network, but the PGParts unit is the safer pick if your Impala is a 2018-2020. Neither is a GM original part, so expect a reman-style lifespan rather than factory longevity.

Choose the TYC starter if you own a 2012-2017 Impala 3.6L and want a widely stocked brand with easy warranty handling through local parts stores.
Choose the Autopart Premium starter if your Impala is a 2018-2020, or if you want the listed 1.4 kW, 12V, clockwise, 12-tooth specs confirmed up front.
