Hi Julie,
$118 is about par for the course for a factory repair, but yes it's rather high in an absolute sense (given the original purchase price of the camera and how much it has depreciated). These high repair prices are, I believe, at least partially a marketing maneuver to get customers to buy new cameras rather than repairing old ones. It's both more lucrative and less work for the manufacturer.
As far as I know, local camera shops aren't generally equipped to repair these sorts of errors, though I can't say that with absolute certainty in every case.
Good luck!
