Melbourne price guide
The cost of replacing a side mirror can vary from a simple glass-only job to a complete feature-equipped mirror assembly. The biggest factors are your exact vehicle, the damaged parts, mirror functions and current parts availability.
Cost guide
Use these figures as a practical starting point. Your final quote depends on the exact mirror specification and the part currently available for your vehicle.
Mirror glass only
$130–$210
Cracked, missing or damaged glass when the housing, mount and adjustment mechanism are still usable.
Standard complete mirror assembly
$300–$450+
Broken housings, mounting points or complete mirrors without high-cost camera or advanced driver-assistance features.
Feature-equipped complete mirror
$450–$700+
Mirrors with blind-spot warning, camera, auto-dimming, power folding or other higher-spec functions.
Indicator, cover or selected component
Quote required
Jobs where only one replaceable component is damaged and the rest of the mirror can be reused.
* Guide prices are in AUD and can vary above or below these ranges. Paint, travel, rare parts and special electronic functions can change the final price.
What changes the price?
Two mirrors can look almost identical from the outside but use different electronics, plugs and internal parts. That is why a photo alone is sometimes not enough for a final price.
Year, make and model matter. A VIN is best for confirming the exact specification, but a Rego (registration number) can also help identify the vehicle. Mirrors that look similar can use different plugs, pin counts, mounting points or electronic functions.
A simple glass-only replacement is usually much less expensive than replacing the complete mirror housing and mounting assembly.
Power folding, heating, blind-spot warning, auto-dimming, puddle lights and cameras can significantly change the part price and compatibility requirements.
Depending on the vehicle, a suitable part may be available new aftermarket, used genuine/OEM or through another supplier. Availability can affect both price and timing.
If the original painted cover can be reused, the total may be lower. If a cover needs painting or colour matching, that can add cost and time.
The final quote can also reflect the suburb, access, installation difficulty and whether extra trim or door components need to be removed.
Repair only what is needed
Not sure which one you need? Send photos first. We can usually tell whether a glass-only solution is realistic or whether the complete mirror needs replacement before arranging a booking.
Fast quoting
The fastest way to avoid the wrong part is to send the right information at the start.
Year, make and model
Whole mirror plus close-ups
Folding, heating, blind spot, camera
VIN or Rego if available, plus where the car is
FAQ
There is no single fixed price because the correct mirror depends on the vehicle and its features. As a practical guide, simple glass-only jobs are often around $130–$210, while complete mirror assemblies commonly start around $300 and can exceed $700 on feature-rich vehicles. A confirmed quote should be based on your exact vehicle and damage photos.
Often, yes. If the housing, mounting point, adjustment motor and backing mechanism are still serviceable, replacing only the glass may be the most economical option. Heated, blind-spot and auto-dimming glass need extra compatibility checks.
The same model can be sold with different mirror specifications. Power folding, heating, blind-spot warning, cameras, auto-dimming, memory functions, plug type and pin count can all change the required part and price.
Sometimes. If the original cover is undamaged and compatible with the replacement assembly, reusing it may avoid painting and help reduce the total cost.
Sometimes, particularly for simpler glass or common parts, but it cannot be guaranteed. Same-day service depends on the exact vehicle, part availability, suburb and appointment capacity.
Send the vehicle year, make and model, the damaged side, your suburb, clear photos of the whole mirror and close-up damage, plus the VIN or Rego (registration number) if available. Also mention features such as power folding, heating, blind-spot warning or camera if known.
