How much does it cost to fix a cigarette lighter in a car?

The lighter in my car hasn’t worked in years. I always assumed it was a lost cause but now I’m wondering if it’s possible to repair it. How much does it cost to fix a cigarette lighter in a car?

The cost to fix a cigarette lighter in a car is between $50 and $100, depending on your vehicle.
In most cases, it’s a simple problem with the socket or the fuse. It may be a wiring issue, which could be a little trickier (and more costly) to repair.
Unless you have experience with electrical repairs, this process is best left to the professionals.
