How Much Does a Mirror Replacement Cost?

A replacement mirror can cost you anywhere between $10 and $100 on parts alone. A repair shop may charge $75 to $150 for labor, depending on the rates in your area.

What Is a Mirror?

Side mirrors are external mirrors installed on the car doors, specifically the A-pillars. The driver and passenger side mirrors make it easier to observe areas behind and along the sides of the vehicle. You can also use them to see the length of the vehicle, which is useful if you’re squeezing through tight spaces.
