Wing mirrors adjusted to correct position for optimal visibility. Both sides set properly to minimize blind spots. Perfect view down each side of your car.
### Are Your Wing Mirrors Actually Set Right?
Most people's wing mirrors are adjusted wrong. **You shouldn't see your own car** taking up half the mirror. That's wasted mirror space showing you something you already know - that your car is there.
Mirrors set correctly show you the lane next to you, not the side of your car. Properly adjusted mirrors eliminate most blind spots and make lane changes, parking, and reversing massively easier and safer.
I adjust both mirrors to the correct position for your driving position. Takes longer than you'd think to get them exactly right, but makes a huge difference to visibility.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** You should see just a sliver of your car's edge in the wing mirror - not the whole door. The rest of the mirror should show the road beside you.

Good to Know
> 🚗 **Share your car with someone else?** Readjust mirrors every time you drive if your seating position is different. Electric mirrors with memory settings make this automatic. **Electric adjustment not working?** Might just be a fuse or loose connection. I can check whether it's a simple fix or if you need new motors. **Folding mirrors stuck?** Often just needs lubrication or the mechanism freeing off. Not always a replacement job.
Frequently Asked Questions about Wing mirror adjustment in Teignmouth
When do wing mirrors need adjusting?
After someone else drives your car, after wing mirror repairs, if the electric adjustment isn't working properly, or if you've never set them correctly in the first place. Most people have mirrors adjusted wrong - you shouldn't see the side of your own car in them.
What's the correct way to adjust wing mirrors?
You should barely see the edge of your car in the mirror - just a sliver. The mirror should show the lane next to you, not your own car. Loads of people have them angled inwards showing mostly their own car - that creates massive blind spots.
Can you fix electric mirrors that won't adjust?
Often yes - sometimes it's just the switch, or a disconnected motor. I can diagnose whether it's fixable or if you need new mirror glass/motor. If the adjustment still works manually but not electrically, it might be a simple fix.
Do both mirrors need adjusting together?
Yes - they work as a pair. Setting one without the other means you've still got uneven visibility. I adjust both to give you proper coverage on both sides with minimal blind spots.
How long does mirror adjustment take?
About 15-20 minutes. Seems simple but getting them exactly right takes longer than you'd think - adjust, test, readjust. Worth doing properly for safe driving.
