How much will it cost to fix the electrical system in my car?
My car has been having all sorts of electrical issues this month. Most recently, the headlights stopped working and my dashboard went black. My car insurance only covers collision-related repairs so I’ll have to pay out of pocket. How much will it cost to fix the electrical system in my car?
