I am a bit different as I would probably go to the Apple Store first. Since the initial visit to the store is free and if you get lucky to get a genius that knows what he's doing, he/she will be able to determine what is malfunctioning on your MBP. They will then give you an estimate of how much it will end up costing you to fix it at the store. At this point, you can go to another independent dealer to see what they have to say.
I'm not sure if an independent repair place will give you a free diagnosis or not but the Apple Store will.
