OUR GUARANTEE
Every Job in Melbourne Is Guaranteed in Writing
We don't fit the mirror and drive off. Every replacement Car Mirror Man does in Melbourne comes with a written guarantee, so you're covered long after we've left. What's covered depends on what we fit:
Guaranteed for as long as you own the vehicle. Covers manufacturing and workmanship — your glass won't crack on its own, delaminate or de-silver. (Impact damage excluded.)
3-year written warranty on the complete mirror assembly — housing, folding motor, mechanism and glass.
12-month warranty on any single replacement part — a motor, cover, indicator lens or camera cap.
Every guarantee is in writing. Excludes impact, accident, misuse and negligence. Non-transferable — the guarantee stays with the person who owned the vehicle at the time of fitting.
…and that's on top of mobile same-day service, custom-cut glass and 600+ 5-star reviews. The full service is below.
HOW OUR PRICING WORKS
We Only Fix What's Broken — That's How You Save
There's no single price for a side mirror, because there's no single problem. We're specialists, so we diagnose the exact fault and replace only the part that's broken — the glass, the cover, the motor, or the whole unit — whichever gets you back on the road for the least money.
Cracked glass but the housing and motor are fine? We cut or source just the glass. The lowest-cost fix — from $135.
A dead fold motor, a cracked cover, a broken indicator or camera cap? We replace that one part — not the whole mirror.
Housing smashed, or a cheaper mirror where a whole unit is better value? We fit a complete unit — and still beat most dealers on price.
A panel shop or dealer will often quote a whole new unit by default — and that's no knock on them; plenty are great operators. They're generalists, without the time, the mirror expertise, or the fast parts network to diagnose the exact fault and replace only the broken part. That's all we do — so we find you the lower-cost fix and get you back on the road quickly.
The Melbourne price guide
Side Mirror Replacement Melbourne — The Five Price Bands
In Melbourne, panel shops in the CBD and inner suburbs almost always quote the whole mirror unit. Nine times out of ten, only the glass is actually broken. That’s a $200–$400 difference on the same job. Here’s the actual cost breakdown by repair type.
When you ring for a quote, ask: “Can you check if just the glass can be replaced?” If they say no without inspecting the mirror, keep dialing. Glass-only jobs start at $135.

Why Melbourne drivers need a specialist
Melbourne is unusually hard on side mirrors
Between the laneway parking in Fitzroy and Collingwood, the terrace-street kerbs of Carlton and Prahran, the tram-adjacent bays on Chapel Street, and Docklands multi-storey car parks — Melbourne drivers hit and get hit at rates well above the national average for side mirror damage. Getting one replaced fast, without a Victorian defect notice hanging over your rego, is what we’ve built the last 20 years around.
Laneway parking is brutal. Fitzroy, Carlton, Collingwood, Richmond — kerbside parking with tight clearances on both sides. Nearly half of our Melbourne callouts are laneway or terrace-street clips. Almost always just the glass.
Victorian defect notices are the strictest in the country. VicPol issues yellow-sticker defect notices for broken side mirrors more readily than any other state. The compliance window is tight. Same-day mobile replacement is often the fastest way to clear it before your rego is at risk.
We cover the whole metro same-day. Inner suburbs, Bayside, outer east, outer west — a mobile side mirror specialist can reach you and finish the job faster than most panel shops can even quote it. Book before midday and we’re usually there before knock-off.

FAQs
Side mirror replacement Melbourne — answered
How much does side mirror replacement cost in Melbourne?
Melbourne side mirror replacement usually lands between $135 and $500. Glass-only starts at $135 for a standard car with intact housing and motor. Full mirror units with heating, indicator, blind-spot or camera can reach $600+. Mobile fitting anywhere in the Melbourne metro is included — no call-out charge.
Can I really get same-day service in Melbourne?
Yes — book before midday and we can usually reach you the same day across the whole metro. Inner suburbs are almost always same-day. Outer suburbs (Point Cook, Cranbourne, Rowville, South Morang) depend on the day’s bookings but most days we can fit them in.
Is it illegal to drive with a broken side mirror in Victoria?
Yes — Victoria’s Road Safety Rules require two functional rear-view mirrors. A missing or heavily cracked mirror can attract a fine (around $180 plus court costs) and demerit points. VicPol issues yellow-sticker defect notices for broken mirrors more readily than other states, so get it fixed quickly.
Can you replace just the glass, not the whole mirror?
In most cases, yes. If the housing and motor are undamaged, glass-only replacement is often the right fix — and it starts at $135. Panel shops default to the full assembly because it’s faster to bill; we assess for glass-only first.
Do I need to drive to a workshop or wait in a service centre?
No. Our whole model is mobile — we come to your Melbourne driveway, workplace, shopping-centre car park, wherever the car is parked. Most jobs finish in 20 to 40 minutes. You keep driving your day.
What if my mirror has camera, blind-spot, or auto-dim?
We handle the full modern-mirror tech stack: blind-spot monitor, camera, auto-dim, power fold, heating, integrated indicator. Cost sits in the $450–$600+ band because the assembly is more expensive and calibration is required, but everything is covered under the written 3-year written warranty.
Should I claim on insurance or pay direct?
For glass-only replacements or basic full-mirror units under $400, the repair cost is often below your excess — pay direct and keep your no-claim bonus. For powered/camera mirrors above $500, get an independent quote first and use it to nominate your own repairer under your policy.
Do you offer warranty in Melbourne?
Every job carries our written Yes — every job is guaranteed. Glass replacement carries a guarantee (manufacturing & workmanship — the glass will not crack on its own, delaminate, or desilver). A whole mirror assembly carries a 3-year written warranty. Individual replacement parts (motor, indicator, cover) carry a 12-month warranty. Impact, accident, misuse and negligence are excluded across all tiers. on parts and workmanship — same coverage right across Australia. No time limit, no fine-print exclusions. If it fails, we come back and fix it.
