My shop is about 3 miles from home. Yes, I do trust them as Volvo is about all I ever seen them working on, but still, the first thing I do when I pick it up is bring it home and check everything. So far the only thing I've seen was a slightly mis-routed Emer brake cable that doesn't affect its function. I admit though, they have to date not done any engine/tranny work as I've not needed it, but I would still trust them for that. Trust but verify!

The checklist should be industry standard, I have learned from that to be sure. I think if I ever get work done I will suggest the idea. It wouldn't certainly help sell other services. What stinks is that I had been keeping up with transmission fluid changes after the ify initial change I did after I acquired it. All was good.
