An unfortunate altercation with a parking garage pole has left my driver's side mirror in shambles. I maintain that the pole was clearly at fault, although it was admittedly not moving at the time.
Is such a thing best repaired by the stately but overpriced engineers at my local VW Dealership, or should I entrust the car to Joe's Body Shop and hope for the best? What sort of money should I expect to part with? I think the whole assembly probably needs replacing as a lot of the plastic has cracked and the motor doesn't turn on.
The car is a 2000 Beetle and has otherwise served me well.
Thanks for your expert guidance, Frank
