I don't know that I want someone learning on it to be honest. The dealer has it's plusses, but dropping a grand there when all is said and done isn't one of them.

As far as I know, the guy wasn't "learning" on it. Being a Ford dealer (and the car being a Ford), I would assume that they had some experience.
My usual guy charges $35/hour labour, and is an ex Nissan tech. He took one look at it and said "no dice, take it to the dealer." I have read on this site how others have paid way more than me for the same job, so I feel good about it. That said, not something that I care to repeat.
