Expect to pay about $180 to $700 for a side-view mirror replacement on a Honda CR-V, depending on whether you replace just the glass, the full mirror assembly, and the presence of features like heating or an integrated turn signal.
Costs vary by model year, trim level, location, and whether you choose OEM Honda parts or aftermarket alternatives. This article outlines typical price ranges, what drives the cost, and how to obtain precise quotes from dealers and independent shops.
Cost drivers
Several factors influence the final price beyond the base parts cost, including the mirror’s electronics, paint needs, and the shop’s labor rate.
- Mirror glass replacement (glass only, when the housing is intact): Typically $60–$180 installed, depending on whether the glass is standard or heated.
- Aftermarket complete mirror assembly (non-OEM): Parts $80–$250; labor $60–$120; total $140–$370.
- OEM Honda complete mirror assembly (non-heated): Parts $150–$350; labor $60–$120; total $210–$470.
- OEM Honda complete mirror assembly with heated element, auto-dimming, or integrated turn signals: Parts $350–$700; labor $60–$150; total $410–$850.
- Paint and color matching (if the housing is replaced and needs color matching to your CR-V): Additional $50–$150.
In general, the price can swing widely based on features and the type of part installed, from a glass-only fix to a fully equipped, OEM replacement.
These ranges reflect typical market prices in the United States as of 2024–2026 and can vary by region and shop.
Factors that can push costs higher
Various circumstances can raise the price beyond these ranges, including high labor rates in large metro areas, need for color matching, or damage to surrounding trim or hardware.
- Location and labor rate
- Model year and trim level
- Features: heated, auto-dimming, integrated turn signals
- OEM vs aftermarket parts
- Painting and color matching requirements
- Insurance coverage and deductible considerations
Understanding these factors helps you anticipate price shifts and plan accordingly when budgeting for a replacement.
Getting an exact quote
To obtain a precise figure for your CR-V, gather key details and compare quotes from multiple sources. Follow these steps:
- Identify the exact mirror configuration: power-adjustable, heated, auto-dimming, and whether it has an integrated turn signal.
- Decide if you need the glass only or a full mirror housing replacement.
- Check your vehicle year, trim, and color to determine if color matching is required.
- Request quotes from a Honda dealer, independent repair shops, and salvage yards for both OEM and aftermarket options.
- Ask for a breakdown that includes parts, labor, painting (if any), and any calibration or warranty fees.
- Inquire whether the quote includes calibration of electronic mirrors (if applicable) and whether installation time is estimated.
When you have quotes, compare not just price but what’s included—warranty, labor rate, painting, and any required calibration. If you have full or comprehensive insurance, check whether your deductible applies and whether the insurer will cover part of the replacement.
Summary
Replacing a side-view mirror on a Honda CR-V can range from a glass-only fix to a full OEM replacement with heated or signal-equipped features. Typical installed prices span roughly $180 to $700, with higher end tied to OEM parts and advanced features. For precise budgeting, collect model specifics, request multiple quotes, and verify what’s included in each quote—from parts and labor to painting and calibration. In many cases, opting for aftermarket parts or a reputable independent shop can lower costs without compromising safety or function.
