Cost of a new mirror.

[GN2018]

I screwed up today and clipped a parked truck with my outside mirror.  Didn't do anything to the parked car but it flipped my mirror back very hard and broke the mirror.  The outside of the mirror is damaged as well.  I'm trying to figure out whether I should get it fixed out of pocket or go through my insurance.  Clearly, it's my fault and my deductible is $1,000.  Any idea what it would cost to have the entire mirror assembly replaced?  I did some googling and it looks like the part is about $700.  If I can get out for around $1500, I probably won't claim it.  What do you think?  Under or over $1500?

I don't know how loaded your truck is and the options package, so that makes it hard to know what mirror you need.

 

I see the power mirror, with camera and blindspot is roughly $413 without the cover. Then you'd need to buy the cover separate.

Thanks.  I will need the cover.  Looks like I’m looking at around $500 for the complete assembly.  Hopefully I can get out of this for under a grand.

Looks like I’ll get out of this for under $500.  I found a collision shop nearby and they didn’t mind me supplying the parts as long as they got a copy of the receipt.  So I visited GM Parts Direct and ordered the parts.  The interesting thing is that, while it lists for $413, GM Parts Direct shows you all the dealers in your area and I found that some discount the part.  Luckily, a dealer about a half hour away had the part for $305 and the cover for $73.  I top of that, they had an extra 20% off AND I got to use some reward points I had from buying my last car through GM and that saved me another $67.  So I saved about $280 by handling the parts myself.
