Re: Dealer oil change vs chain oil change

Thanks for the info and recommendations.
Up to now my car has been under warranty so they took care of everything. I will take it to the dealer and look for a small shop that deals with Volvo’s to compare prices. Thanks again!

Dealer oil change vs chain oil change

Hi, I have a 2013 XC90 and I was wondering if I should get my oil change only from the dealer. For the last few years my service had been free because it was part of my warranty but now it’s over. Does Volvo use different oil than a Jiffy Lube type place? Dealer is charging about $100 and other chai...

Re: 2013 rear brakes- Need Advice

Wanderdune, I tried the link you attached to Lisle Volvo and they were about $15 less than the price from other dealer.

Re: 2013 rear brakes- Need Advice

Thanks for your help. I called the dealer and it looks like it will be $320 plus tax for rear rotors and pad kit. Is there somewhere else that’s reliable to purchase?

2013 rear brakes- Need Advice

Hi, I need to replace the pads n rotors on the rear brakes. The dealer is charging me $700 and my friend said he can do it for much much less. I’m buying the parts from the dealer but just wondering if there’s anything else he needs. He was concerned that there were electrical components in the rear...

Re: Extended Warranty

Thanks June! I think I’ll stick to the dealer then. You’re right about the warranties on parts etc. I guess now that I’m done with payments I’ll just set that money aside for work needed. I feel better after hearing everyone’s advice. 😊

Re: Extended Warranty

Thanks for you feedback! It doesn’t cover maintenance so that will be an extra cost. I guess I just wasn’t sure about getting the extended warranty because I wasn’t sure how reliable my XC90 would be as I got more miles in the car. I was concerned about a lot of mechanical issues n the high cost to ...

The Volvo dealer quoted me close to $4,000 to get an extended warranty that will cover any costs such as engine, el...
