Exclamation High Beams switch is broke

Has anyone had this happen? I pull back on the lever and there's no click so it doesn't engage the high beams. I have no clue how to fix this so I'm going to have to take her into the shop unless someone here knows how. If someone HAS had it done at a shop could you tell me what I can expect to pay?
