Minor Repairs:
- If the side view mirror housing is undamaged and only the glass is cracked or broken, it may be possible to replace just the mirror glass. This can cost anywhere from $15 to $50 for the glass itself, plus installation costs if you choose to have a professional install it.
- If the mirror housing is slightly damaged, such as a minor crack or scratch, it may be possible to repair it with epoxy or other adhesives. This can cost around $15 to $30 for the repair kit.
Full Replacement:
- If the side view mirror is completely broken, including the housing, it will likely need to be replaced. The cost of a replacement side view mirror can range from $100 to $300 or more, depending on the type of vehicle and the features of the mirror (such as heated mirrors, turn signal indicators, etc.).
- Labor costs for replacing a side view mirror can vary from $50 to $100 or more, depending on the complexity of the installation and the hourly rates of the mechanic or service center.
It is always advisable to get quotes from multiple repair shops or service centers before making a decision, as prices can vary significantly. You may also want to check with your insurance company to see if your policy covers the replacement of side view mirrors.
