S70 30k Service question

Lance · Post by **Lance** » 03 Jul 2003, 19:41

Hello everyone....Well its that dreaded time...time to spend big $$$$$ on the 30K service...and need your expert advice:

1. How much on average should this service cost from a dealer? ( I was quoted 530.00..whooaaa...Too much I think?)

2. Take it to an independent volvo mechanic BUT...the car is still under factory warranty...So the dealer can look and repair any needed parts covered under factory warranty?...which the independent guy cant do...hmmmm

So what are your thoughts on this ...dealer vs regular independent volvo mechanic?

I live in Florida...Tampa area...and do not want to get ripped of...have 28k on it now...its my baby and treat it well...

Thanks all...you guys are a big help...Lance

Don't wast your money on the service ( and the probability that they will break something) . Instead ask the dealer what it is that they will be doing exactly. You will very suprised that the list contains nothing significant!! YOu can do everything yourself in about an hour.
