How much does it cost to replace a car mirror?

I just got out of the grocery store and some idiot sideswiped me. I’m missing one mirror. How much does it cost to replace a car mirror?

So sorry to hear about your mirror. It costs between $150 and $300 to replace a car mirror.
Your specific price will depend on the make and model. You can sometimes save money by using aftermarket parts instead of OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts. However, these can be less reliable and may impact future insurance coverage.
The cost of the mirror itself is between $100 and $200 for genuine parts, $75 to $150 for OEM parts, and $40 to $100 for aftermarket parts. You’ll also need to pay for labor during the installation process.
In this situation,
comprehensive coverage
may kick in to help you cover the repair costs—even if you didn’t see the accident happen and don’t have documentation.
However, you’ll need to pay your
deductible
first. For many people, it’s not worth filing a claim if the repair is cheaper than the deductible.
Worried that your insurance will
go up
after an accident? It’s possible. If it does, you won’t see the increase until your policy is up for renewal.
