Side Mirror Replacement Cost
Side mirror replacement costs depend heavily on the features built into the mirror -- basic manual mirrors are cheap, but modern mirrors with heating elements, auto-dimming glass, integrated turn signals, blind spot monitoring cameras, and power folding can be expensive. The mirror housing often needs to be color-matched and painted to the vehicle.
