Side mirror replacement in Calgary

There are typically two side mirror repair options:

  • When the glass is cracked – If the mirror glass is the only thing that is damaged and not the housing, you’ll only need to replace the glass, which is a straightforward process. Our professional auto glass technician will ensure that your new mirror installation is done correctly.
  • When the mirror housing is damaged – Usually, the mirror housing is damaged because of a harder impact. When this happens, it requires a more complex side mirror replacement. If this is the case, bring your vehicle in and we will make sure all components are replaced and installed correctly.
