We all markup parts. 20% is very reasonable.
Thats where I'm at. some go MUCH higher. I dont buy anything online. Too many problems. Warranty and fitment. If you have been happy in the past I personally wouldn't worry too much. Call around for estimates to see if hes in line with other shops in the area, but dont tell then what he quoted you, thats not fair. They will do better to get your business and make it up on repeat business. Posted via Mobile Device |

And if it was used it wouldn't be unpainted.

Mechanics have to mark up their prices significantly. They have really high emergency room bills because most of them think they have to taste the gasoline to see if it's watered down. They really need to stay away from CP.

First off, sounds like you needed to take it to a body man not a mechanic.
Secondly, yea that's too much for a mirror. $125 vs $36? Only if the $125 one was brand new which you say it isn't. |

Is this a power or manual mirror? 125 is way to much for most used mirros considering it likely came from a junk yard. New aftermarket is likely what u found but make sure it's not manual if u have power.
And 20% Is more than reasonable if that is true. Standard markup on most parts is about 35%, any less id consider a deal

Or the 125 was an OE part and the cheap ass one was from China. 36 dollars for side mirror sounds like it came out of one of those candy/toy machines outside the grocery store.
