I have come to the realization that in order to advance my game and start scoring where I want to I need coaching/lessons to tweak my swing and get it consistent. My good shots are really good, bad shots can be horribly bad. When looking for a coach/lesson giver what aspects should I be looking at. We do have a golftec in my area and I have had the tour there. What sort of prices are average for good instruction? How many lessons does it generally take to make this type of move? Are there any sites that rank/review instruction pros?

Digest does a top 100 teaching pro list I think.

For me it was about finding someone I felt had my best interest in mind and was open with me. Not someone who will sugar coat errors or give me false hope that I'm moving the right way. What I love about my golftec coach, when I screw up he doesn't just tell me why but we address the why. I had taken a bunch of lessons at other places, some good some bad, but nobody ever addressed the inside takeaway I had. That was the first thing golftec had me change, this is an example of the "why" I mentioned earlier. Why was I coming over the top? Because I was taking the club so far inside going back that I didn't have much option other than to go out to in coming back through. I wasn't given a bunch of drills to correct the secondary problem, instead we worked to correct the first problem which was causing the secondary problem.

I look at swing coaches like a car mechanic, I want the guy who looks a little closer and doesn't just jump at the first obvious problem.

Price can vary a lot, some around here are cheap as $50 an hour to much much more. My last package at golftec was around $350, just lessons with no practice time. Look around, try a few out, and see what type of teaching you best respond to.
