It depends on the kind of car you have, but if it isn't a VERY rare one, you should be able to buy a new antenna at any car shop.

To replace a car antenna, you need to make sure you buy a new one from the manufacturer and have the correct model number. all you have to do is unscrew the old antenna, and then screw in the new antenna. If the antenna is automatic and raises and lowers, you need a whole new mechanism.

Car antennas can be replaced with an OEM antenna from your dealer or a generic antenna. These antennas can be found at your dealer or any automotive parts store. Antenna removal varies depending on the location, but in general you just remove the retaining nut on top of the antenna.

You can go to an auto parts store to get a new antenna mast. Removing your old antenna mast so that you can take it with you is an option. The antenna mast unscrews from the base using pliers or a fitted wrench to avoid scratching.
