"I'm having the independent shop do the work since he's about $200 less than the dealer."

How much was the fix?? I am having the same problem. I am going to be looking for a good independent garage in the Central PA area as well.

The cost comparison is as follows:

Dealer ~ $800

Independent ~ $600

The switch is ~$285 and requires about 3 hours of labor. The dealer here in Atlanta charges $110/hour the independent charges $90/hour.

Hope this is helpful.

Dang, that's one expensive repair for a switch!

Yep -- my only reason for moving forward with it is that my backup lights come on when I put the car in drive -- and who knows -- if the switch continues to fail -- I may not even be able to put it in drive!!
