Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• Inspect mirror assembly and electrical connectors for visible damage

• Secure vehicle, wear PPE and take kerbside safety measures where needed

• Remove and dispose of the damaged cover and replace broken clips or retainers

• Check mirror functions including indicators, heating, electric adjustment and folding

• Fit new cover (clip or screw fit) and replace any damaged fasteners

• Test electrical connections and alignment and advise if painting or coding is required

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most mirror cover replacements take 0.5–2 hours on site depending on vehicle access, whether the cover is pre‑painted and if any clips or wiring need repair. Repainting or off‑vehicle painting adds lead time of 1–3 days or more for drying and return.

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Is the replacement part OEM, aftermarket or painted to match my vehicle paint code

• Will you fit a cover I supply or do you need to order and paint it and where will painting be done

• Do you warranty the part and labour and for how long

• Will you test indicators, heaters and electric folding after fitting and check for error codes

• What happens if clips or the mirror housing are damaged and need extra repair or parts

• How long for parts to arrive and are any additional call‑out charges applied if the job takes longer

How to Avoid Surprises

• Confirm exact vehicle make, model and paint code before the visit

• Provide clear parking or off‑street space and advise of any access restrictions

• Tell the tradie about previous repairs or aftermarket parts already fitted

• Agree where painting or coding will be done and the expected lead time and cost

• Remove loose items from the vehicle and secure pets and children during the work
