How much to replace side mirror assembly?

Hey there! I just had my side mirror damaged and I'm wondering how much it's going to cost me to get it replaced. I'm not sure if it's just the glass or the whole assembly that needs fixing.

From what I'm finding, side mirror replacement costs can vary quite a bit depending on your vehicle and whether you're just replacing the glass or the entire assembly. For basic manual mirrors, you might be looking at around $40-60 for just the glass, but if you need the whole assembly replaced, costs can range from $150 all the way up to $1,000 or more for newer vehicles with fancy features.

The average seems to be around $300-400 for a complete replacement, with parts costing $150-350 and labor adding another $100-400. Luxury cars or vehicles with heated mirrors, turn signals, or blind spot monitoring will definitely cost more. If you're handy, you might be able to save some money by doing it yourself - just replacing the glass can be a $15-50 DIY job!

What kind of car do you have, and is it just the glass that's broken or the whole mirror assembly?
