How much does it cost to reset a car’s computer?

My car's computer has been glitching and I can barely use it. The last time I tried to use the GPS, it sent me the wrong way down a one-way street. How much does it generally cost to reset the computer?

That’s frustrating! You’re going to want to check with your dealer and your
warranty
because this type of glitching might be covered.
If your car is no longer under warranty, then you’ll want to take it to either the dealer or a mechanic to get it fixed. The pricing for this can vary depending on the amount of work to fix it and the parts needed. Generally, this can be between $80 and $180.
If you GPS continues to steer you of course and you end up stranded in a dark, creepy forest, it might be worth investing in a roadside assistance membership.
