I just hit my neighbors mailbox. What do I do?
Find answers to your legal question.





I just hit my neighbors mailbox. What do I do?

I was driving a borrowed van, so I 'm not used to it. I did not do any damage to the mailbox but I shattered the mirror on the side, but no harm to the mirror holder. Where can I find just a mirror and is it expensive?

My father is always knocking his side-view mirrors off. If you get it done at a gas station, it's pretty expensive. (We're lucky because my sister's husband is a mechanic, and he gets the mirror at cost and puts it on for free.) You could definitely try a junk yard, but you'll need someone to install it properly. I suspect that's not as easy as it might seem, if you want it to be right and able to be adjusted, etc.
Edit: I wouldn't suggest going to a dealership. They're usually the biggest rip-offs of all.

Yep, find your local junk yard, but be honest with the owner of the van.

Tell them the truth and pay to fix it! Depends on the car- the cost is different- if it's a manual mirror they are cheap but the newer ones that move at the touch to the button are costly.

Simple, just be honest and pay for any damage you caused.

Junk yards are great, but make sure you get the right size for that car or it will fall out a lot. It should be really cheap.

weel first tell who ever owns the van you will fix it and your best chance of finding a person to fix the mirror is to take the van to a car specialties shop and ask them what they can do

Go to the dealership and ask how much for the part. Theyll sell it to you. then put it on.

Depends on the make and model. Junkyard or look online. The good news is, those things are damn easy to install! 15..maybe 20 minutes, tops!

go to like oreilys or something and it should be pretty cheap

You do not have to go to a junk yard. I used to work at Pep Boys and I know for a fact that they sell them there. They even have ones you can cut to fit. If you don't have a Pep Boys in your area you could probably find them at any auto parts store. Good Luck.

Yeah a junk yard...

Try the junk yard or if you only need the mirrored glass, try burcoinc.com.


Marcus
Do to the junk yard and replace the whole mirror.

Hello,

We often take for granted what a convenience our cars are. I was paying a low price for my insurance, but at renewal time, my insurer tried to increase my rates.

My friend sent me a link to this site:


http://www.rent-and-mortgage-help.org

They have a free search to compare auto rates from the major insurers. It saved me a lot of money!

Best of Luck

yes; try junk yard; but make sure you are up front with the van owner and the owner of the mailbox. Things happen; but the important thing is taking care of your mistakes/accidents. They should understand if you are honest and take care of fixing the problems. Just don't run; that will make things worse and make them mad.


duh.....
