How much is it to fix a car door handle?
When I went to warm up my car before commuting to work the other day, I somehow managed to rip the driver’s side door handle off. Climbing over the passenger seat every time I want to go somewhere is getting old very quickly. How much does it typically cost to fix a car door handle?

We’re sorry to hear about the door handle—and climbing over the passenger seat is undoubtedly a hassle. On the bright side, it sounds like your workout regimen has been working!
The repair cost varies based on the make and model of your car, so we can only give you a ballpark estimate: the average price to fix an exterior car door handle is from $170 to $225. Some owners report prices as low as $115, while others report prices close to $700.
Besides the make and model of your vehicle, the price can also vary if:
- You’re using OEM (original manufacturer) versus third-party parts
- The locking mechanism is still intact
- The new handle needs to be painted to match the vehicle
