Default Good body shop?

Hey guys,

my girls accord got hit a couple days ago and the only damage to the car was they took out the driver side mirror. (It was a suv coming from the other direction and the driver took his eyes off the road and swerved to the oncoming lane.) Luckily she swerved out of his way. It could have been worse.

But anyways, is there a body shop out there that won't charge an arm and a leg for installing the mirror? Also if anyone knows where I can get the mirror for wholesale price it would help a lot. Thanks!

The mirror should be fairly easy to install...should bolt right up.

Yea i asked someone that works there...he said it would probably be around $500 to pre paint it and install. I was hoping someone could help me out and find it for cheaper.

what kind of car ..give me a vin. i run a body shop but i need your vin
to get the prices on my program. if you dont care if its factory or
aftermarket i can hook you up. honda doesn't distribute prepainted
mirrors. your best bet is to get a aftermarket mirror for keystone or
bodymaster and install yourself, its easy.
