TOYOTA PRADO MIRROR REPAIR · MELBOURNE
Toyota Prado Mirror Repair — Melbourne
On Prados from around 2014 onwards, the electric folding mirror can stop working with time. The usual cause is the internal folding mechanism, which is a separate part from the glass and the housing.
We replace just that mechanism, on site, rather than a complete mirror assembly.
As Featured In
Toyota Prado mirror repair in Melbourne is usually about the folding. The mirror will not fold in, will not unfold, or makes a noise and stops. On many Prados this is the internal folding mechanism wearing out, not damage from a knock.
A Prado mirror assembly is not a small purchase, so it matters that the mechanism can be replaced by itself.

The mirror adjusts and the glass is fine, but it will not fold, or stops partway. We replace the mechanism only.

The painted cap, replaced separately.

What Prado mirror repair costs in Melbourne
A fold-mechanism repair is quoted per vehicle because it depends on the year and which side is affected. We tell you which job it is before we start.
| What is broken | What we do | Typical cost* |
|---|---|---|
| Glass only | Correct ADR-compliant glass cut and fitted to your existing backing plate. | from $135 |
| Cover / housing | Outer cap swapped, glass and motor kept. | $150–$300 |
| Full mirror, plain | Whole assembly, manual or basic powered mirror. | $200–$350 |
| Full mirror, powered | Electric adjust, power fold or integrated indicator. | $350–$500 |
| Blind-spot, camera or auto-dim | Mirrors carrying driver-assist electronics. | Quoted per vehicle |
*Indicative bands. Prado mirrors differ by year and trim, so a folding repair is quoted per vehicle. Send a photo for a fixed price. Every band here comes from our national price guide — the single source of truth for what we charge. Read the full side mirror replacement cost guide.
If the only fault is that the mirror will not fold, ask whether the folding mechanism can be replaced by itself before accepting a whole-mirror price.
The Anatomy
What’s inside a car side mirror
Five parts that can fail independently — and only one that’s usually broken. That’s where the money-saver hides.
The 5 layers of a modern car side mirror — when only layer 1 is broken, you only pay for layer 1.

Toyota Prado mirror repair Melbourne — your questions answered
Can you replace just the folding mechanism on a Toyota Prado mirror?
Yes. On Prados from around 2014 onwards the folding mechanism is a separate part. We replace that and keep the rest of your mirror.
Why has my Prado mirror stopped folding?
On many Prados the internal folding mechanism simply wears out over time. It can also be damaged in a knock.
How much does Prado mirror repair cost in Melbourne?
Glass-only starts from $135 and a cover is $150 to $300. A folding mechanism repair or a complete unit is quoted per vehicle. Send a photo for a fixed price.
Do you come to me?
Yes. We are fully mobile across metro Melbourne and fit wherever the car is parked.
How long does it take?
It depends on the part. We confirm the time when we quote, and test fold, adjust and any heating or indicator before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
If only the folding mechanism has failed, repairing it keeps the rest of your mirror. We will tell you honestly if the whole mirror is the better option.
Do you cover my suburb?
We cover the Melbourne metro from Werribee and Point Cook in the west through to Ringwood and the Dandenongs, up to Craigieburn and down to Frankston. We do not travel to regional Victoria, but we can ship the correct part to your address for a local fitter.
What warranty applies?
Mirror glass carries an unlimited warranty for as long as you own the vehicle. A full mirror assembly carries three years, and an individual replacement part carries twelve months. All in writing.
