Replacing a Hyundai Elantra side mirror typically costs around $200 to $700 installed, depending on parts and features. Replacing only the glass is much cheaper, usually under $100 to $150 including labor.
Prices vary based on whether you’re replacing the entire mirror assembly or just the glass, the features of the mirror (such as heating, auto-dimming, turn signals, or cameras), whether you choose OEM or aftermarket parts, and the local labor rate. In addition, some swaps may require calibration or programming, which can add to the total.
What affects the price
The price you pay depends on several key factors. Consider these when seeking quotes:
- Mirror glass only vs. full mirror assembly (housing, motor, mounting).
- Features: heating, power adjustment, auto-dimming, memory, integrated turn signals, and any cameras or sensors.
- OEM versus aftermarket parts: OEM parts are typically more expensive but may offer a perfect fit and finish.
- Vehicle year and trim: newer models or higher trims with extra tech can raise costs.
- Labor rates and shop policies: some shops charge extra for programming or calibration.
Understanding these factors helps set realistic expectations when shopping for quotes from auto shops or dealerships.
Typical price ranges
Here are common price ranges you can expect for parts and installed labor. Prices can vary by region and availability.
- Mirror assembly (power, heated, turn signal): aftermarket parts typically $100–$250; Hyundai OEM parts often $250–$550.
- Mirror assembly with extra features (auto-dimming, memory, or camera): aftermarket $350–$800; OEM $600–$1,000+.
- Mirror glass replacement (glass only, no housing): parts $20–$80; installation/labor typically $40–$100, for a total around $60–$180.
Note: If the replacement involves sensors or cameras, or requires recalibration, expect additional charges that can range from about $50 to $150 at most independent shops or dealer service departments.
Labor, timing, and saving options
Labor time for a standard side-mirror replacement usually runs from about 0.5 to 2 hours, depending on access to the mirror and whether any door-panel work or calibration is needed. To save money, customers often:
- Choose aftermarket parts instead of OEM when compatible with their vehicle.
- Get multiple quotes from shops to compare pricing.
- Ask if the shop can reuse or refurbish existing mounting components to reduce costs.
Always verify whether calibration is required for features like sensors or cameras and whether it is included in the quoted price.
Summary
Replacing a Hyundai Elantra mirror can involve two main paths: a full mirror assembly or glass-only replacement. Typical installed costs range roughly from $200 to $700 for assemblies, and under $180 for glass-only replacements. Additional features such as heated surfaces, auto-dimming, or cameras raise the price, and calibration or programming can add to the total. Obtain a written estimate that itemizes parts, labor, and any calibration fees, and check whether your insurance may cover some or all of the cost if the replacement follows a covered incident.
