Who knows ? Your location , shop that does the work and the price of parts all go into the final cost . Sorry , you just have to pick up the phone and call an independent shop if you can’t do the work yourself . ---

There are so many variables involved in any car repair that it’s near impossible to quote a price. One might price a repair and it could be 500 to 1200 dollars. It varies by locale, parts markup, shop hourly rates, and so on. The car is a 2014 so what makes you so sure it needs a switch or has that been diagnosed by someone already? If already diagnosed by a shop then they should have quoted a price. ---

An ignition switch is $85 and 1.3 hours of labor. If you assume that labor cost in your area is less than $200 per hour you can calculate that this is not a $2000 repair. ---

I appreciate your reply. I am not a mechanic, and was looking for ballpark figures to compare when I talked to the mechanic. I’ve gotten all work done on this Jetta at the dealer, an so knew that it would be a little pricier. Turns out that I needed the ignition housing (plus a couple subsequent parts) which totalled about $485. It comes with a 12,000 warrantee. Since this is the first issue with 170K on the car, I’m confident that it will outlive the warrantee. ---
