Why didn't you avoid it ?
That's how much a side mirror costs.
Had one broken off recently. The part was cheap on amazon. Watch a video and wire and install yourself. Most of that 200 is labor. The body shop quoted around 200. It’s been fixed for under 60.
Even for brand name it cost maybe $80, Amazon it’s half that. It’s a couple bolts holding it in with 1 wire all under the plastic molding that can be taken off with a flat head screwdriver. But hey if you want to spend an extra $100 plus dollars go for it
So you hit an inanimate object that wasn’t moving... while going so slowly that you had ages to react? That $200 should be spent on driving lessons.
You don’t watch the mirror - you watch the ROAD for obstructions...like carpets that might be sticking into the road at mirror height.
Done that before, except it was my garage opening (even a tacoma is too big a truck for a garage), it sucks.
English please?
