Compare Ford Transit wing mirror replacement quotes from specialist garages

Ford was the first carmaker to introduce a vehicle assembly line, speeding up the process of production and bringing cars to more people than ever before.

Jim Morrison, the lead singer of rock band The Doors, famously adored his 1967 Ford Shelby GT500, the only car he ever owned. It is a mystery to this day where the vehicle ended up after his death.

The Ford Transit has been an iconic van on British roads since 1965. Incredibly, it was the best-selling vehicle in the UK in 2022, and it has won International Van of the Year an impressive five times, including in 2024. Top speeds for the Transit typically range between 90 and 110 mph, with a 0-60 time of around ten to 20 seconds.

An interesting piece of trivia is that in one episode of Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson drove a converted Transit hover van up the River Avon. Unsurprisingly, the Transit has a reputation for excellent reliability, with few common problems reported. Watch for injector issues (signalled by excessive oil use) and brake booster faults.

A complete wing mirror unit replacement should take less than half an hour. Delivery of the unit is often the most time-consuming aspect of the job, so it may be quicker to go to a main dealer who already has the part in stock, although this will likely cost more than at an independent garage.

Ultimately, the cost is dependent on the extent of the damage. If you have a smashed wing mirror, you will only need to replace the glass, which is cheaper than replacing the whole wing mirror.
