WING MIRROR REPLACEMENT · MELBOURNE
Wing Mirror Replacement — Melbourne
Wing mirror is the British term and it is still in everyday use across Melbourne. It means the same thing as side mirror and door mirror: the mirror mounted on the outside of your front door.
Whichever name you use, the job is the same. We identify the exact part your vehicle takes from a photo, then fit it wherever the car is parked.
As Featured In
Wing mirror replacement in Melbourne is the same service as side mirror replacement. The name changes with who taught you to drive, not with the part.
What matters is not the name but how much of the mirror needs to change. A wing mirror is five separate parts, and a knock usually destroys one of them while leaving the other four working perfectly.

OUR SERVICE
ALL WORK GUARANTEED
All of our workmanship and products include a written warranty of 12 to 48 months, depending on the model and the work done. The terms and conditions are simple and straight-forward.
Of course, if any damage is caused by misuse, negligence or through an accident, we do not cover it!
Wing mirror, side mirror, door mirror
All three names describe the mirror on the outside of your front door. Only the interior mirror on the windscreen is a genuinely different part, and that is not something we work on.
British usage, still common here. Comes from the days when the mirror was mounted on the front wing rather than the door.
The most common Australian term, and the one most manufacturers use in the owner's manual.
The technically accurate one on almost every modern car, because that is where it bolts on.
Strictly the interior one on the windscreen. Different part, different trade — we do not do those.

All Mirror Parts
We can replace and repair mirror motors, covers, glass and indicators so when you are told by others that you need to replace the whole unit, give us a call first and let us advise on the most cost effective and convenient course of action.
What a wing mirror costs to replace
The price is set by how much of the assembly has gone, not by which word you used when you rang.
| 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. A complete wing mirror is quoted per vehicle. Send a photo and we will tell you which rung of that ladder your car is actually on. 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 mirror still adjusts and folds and only the glass has cracked, you are looking at a from-$135 job. A whole-assembly quote on a car in that condition is charging you for four working parts.
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.
How wing mirrors get destroyed in Melbourne
The mirror sits at exactly the height of everything that passes a parked car, which is why the same four causes come up again and again.
Cars parked on both sides of a tram street leave very little room. A passing van takes the mirror off cleanly.
Multi-storey carpark columns and bollards catch the mirror before the bumper ever gets close.
Folding a powered mirror by hand past its limit strips the fold gearbox inside.
The single most common one. Nobody leaves a note and the mirror is hanging by the loom in the morning.
Why choose Car Mirror Man in Melbourne
Glass, cover, motor and indicator are separate parts. We only ever change what is actually broken.
ADR-compliant automotive mirror glass, cut here — so we are never forced into a full-assembly-only part.
Home, work or the station carpark. Glass-only fits from outside, so the car can stay locked.
In writing. Unlimited on mirror glass for as long as you own the vehicle, three years on a full mirror assembly, twelve months on an individual replacement part.

Wing mirror replacement Melbourne — your questions answered
Is a wing mirror the same as a side mirror?
Yes. Wing mirror, side mirror and door mirror all mean the mirror on the outside of your front door. Only the interior mirror on the windscreen is a different part.
How much is wing mirror replacement in Melbourne?
Glass alone starts at $135. A cover is $150 to $300. A complete unit is quoted per vehicle, because the part cost varies a great deal between models.
Do I need the whole wing mirror or just part of it?
Usually just part. If the housing is intact and the mirror still adjusts and folds, the glass on its own is the fix.
Can you fit it at my place?
Yes. We are mobile across metro Melbourne and fit at home, at work, or wherever the car is parked.
How fast can you do it?
Most metro jobs are same day or next day. A glass replacement takes twenty to forty minutes on site.
Is it illegal to drive without a wing mirror in Victoria?
Your car has to give a clear view along both sides. Driving with a missing or smashed exterior mirror risks a defect notice and will fail a roadworthy.
Do you do both sides?
We replace whichever side is damaged. There is no need to touch the undamaged one.
What about the indicator in the mirror?
On most modern cars the indicator repeater is its own part and can be replaced without a whole new mirror.
