Is the motor just a 12 volt gear driven or screw type ..... if so just use a double throw/double pole switch that the servo is hocked up to, that way you can have forward and reverse.

I have various chair motors and some of the ones that are used for tilting and such don't even need limiting switches they have some kind of slip clutch built in.

Here is a crude wiring diag for a switch.

@jrick63 I'd use the BV4113 that is EZ-Robot Certified. The sparkfun TG is too much work:)

@jrick63, DJ is absolutly correct. Since I put in all the old ones in my robot I forgot there is a better and much easier one now available form EZ-B. I would go with the BV4113.
