Side mirror and rear view mirror replacement

SLK 320 is in service for Maryland State Inspection. All was well--only needed new wiper blades and visor until a call an hour ago. Advisor said I need new side mirror (driver's side) and rear view mirror due to "clouding". Apparently this limits visibility. I knew the rear view mirror would cloud up but the outside side mirror looked fine to me. Total cost? $1000.00 and they are "not charging for labor". Does this sound right??

You can buy the non dimming versions of those mirrors & save $800.
