Depends on how handy you are.
The backlight on my car radio went out so I took it apart, looked at the bulbs, went to the electronics store and got replacement bulbs for 5 bucks, soldered them on and done.

*Edit*
Oh and about 3 hours total turn around time from dismantling the radio to getting it back in the car.
