The cost of replacing a sideview mirror can vary depending on several factors, including the make and model of your vehicle, whether the mirror is heated or has additional features like integrated turn signals, and whether you choose to have the replacement done by a professional or attempt it yourself. Here’s a breakdown of potential costs:
- Cost of the Mirror: The price of the replacement mirror itself can vary widely depending on factors such as the brand, quality, and features. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) mirrors tend to be more expensive than aftermarket options. On average, replacement sideview mirrors can range from $50 to $500 or more.
- Labor Costs: If you choose to have the replacement done by a professional at an auto repair shop or dealership, you’ll need to factor in labor costs. Labor rates vary depending on the shop’s location and hourly rates, but you can expect to pay anywhere from $50 to $150 per hour for labor. The installation typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of the job.
- DIY Installation: If you’re comfortable working on your vehicle and have the necessary tools, you may choose to replace the sideview mirror yourself to save on labor costs. Keep in mind that DIY installation may require some mechanical skill and patience, especially if you need to remove interior door panels or electrical components. Make sure to purchase the correct replacement mirror for your vehicle and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
- Additional Parts: Depending on the condition of your vehicle and the extent of the damage to the mirror, you may need to purchase additional parts such as mounting brackets, trim pieces, or wiring harnesses. These additional parts can add to the overall cost of the replacement.
- Taxes and Fees: Don’t forget to factor in any applicable taxes, disposal fees, or shop supplies fees that may be added to the final bill.
Overall, the total cost of replacing a sideview mirror can range from $100 to $700 or more, depending on the factors mentioned above. It’s essential to obtain quotes from multiple sources, compare prices, and consider factors such as warranty coverage and reputation when choosing a replacement mirror and installer.
