COST OF REPLACING A SIDE VIEW MIRROR=1500??????

This happened a couple of months back.
i got my side view mirror smashed during a long trip.
the service person told, the shell is damaged and mirror and shell have to b replaced. he told me the cost of the shell and mirror comes around 700 or so and as it comes only in black colour, it has to be painted to make it body colour(the other mirror is body coloured). and in the end gave me a bill of around 1500. Needless to say i was shocked. Is ithis how it is in other service centres?. I will upload the bill if i manage to find it.

I think its reasonable. Not sure how many manufacturers/dealers can quote such a price.

tnx rajesh....but i never expected such a price for a side view mirror..

Last year in July my ORVM on D. Side was hit by a speeding indica. The Mirror flew off the casing and the casing itself broke 2 of its 4 hinges.

Initially I replaced only the mirror glass (Rs. 160/- I think) and fixed it up myself.

This year in April, I got the whole assembly changed (it is not available without the mirror glass) so I had to take the whole thing. They charged me about Rs. 1100-1200/-, if I can recollect. My Logan is a DLX and mirrors are material colour (black) and hence did not require any painting.

k then guess its the same everywhere...some time back, on one occasion, the mirror alone fell on the road leaving the shell intact...i had the mirror replaced for 300...

vsuprak, one of the side mirror of my logan got broken. Assembly is still perfect.
As you said (160 ~ for mirror alone), where can I get it in bangalore
 
 
Thanks

Visit a Renault or Nissan workshop and get it fitted. They keep that in stock and don't give u the out-of-stock shit like Mahindra

Hi Vineeth,

Sorry for the late reply.
If your car is a 2008 Model, I assume it has the older design ORVM.
Since you are looking only for a mirror, get it from your Mahindra Dealer.

@Nayandeep
I doubt if Renault/Nissan dealers will have the mirror for Logan. I do not recollect any other model having mirror design same as 2008 Logan.
Any infor you have in this respect?

Hello, my two cents, the Verito comes with excellent ORVMS, if broken, worth to invest in them as these mirrors  are slightly larger and give excellent view.

Sorry my mistake, Actually I replaced the entire ORVMS with the ones that comes in verito/duster/sunny/scala/pulse. Its very difficult to find the sub mirror plate for the ones that comes in the old Logans. However you can give a try to get in touch with the following sellers in ebay.
 
eBay
eBay 2
 
And be sure to get a convex one.
