Why does a wing mirror replacement cost £550?

The passenger door wing mirror on my 2017 SEAT Ateca needs replacing. I've been quoted £550 by the SEAT garage. Does this not seem a bit excessive to you?

That's a lot of money but, considering the complexity of modern door mirrors (and all the electrics they contain), it's not massively surprising. Try shopping around - you might find one cheaper from another SEAT dealer or from a third-party supplier. You could also get a used example from a scrapyard. Otherwise, consider claiming on your insurance.

Probably the best handling car in its class. Lots of room for those in the back along with a large boot. Good value for money. Range of economical and swift engines.
