Compare wing mirror replacement quotes from specialist garages in Nottingham

Nottingham is the biggest urban area in the East Midlands. If you need to get around without a car, there is an excellent public transport network, including trains, trams and buses. The city's buses are operated by Nottingham City Transport, the country's largest publicly owned bus network. In 2012, Nottingham introduced a workplace parking levy, which helped the council pay to extend the city's tram system. Since then, there has been a 9% decrease in traffic.

Driving in cities like Nottingham puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Nottingham for all these crucial components.

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.
