Question

How to go faster, stop quicker, and turn harder. Chips, exhaust, larger turbos, bigger/slotted/drilled rotors, high performance brake pads, manual boost controllers, performance shocks/struts/springs, airbox mods and more! Also discussion on HID and Xenon lights, aftermarket foglights and other exterior lighting.

The contact information in the link you provides goes to an address for:

https://www.volvodealeraccessories.com/contact-us

Volvo Cars of Huntington
https://www.volvocarsofhuntington.com/

Not sure why there is a separate website just for Volvo accessories and no obvious mention of Volvo Cars of Huntington. Might as well contact your local Volvo dealership and compare prices.

It's not uncommon for a dealer to have a seperate site to sell blue box parts. There's marketing logic in it, as evidenced by this example and other dealer retail parts sites.

They can use the Volvo trademarks legally, so they have a large advantage just from that alone.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

I agree, associating with a dealership sometimes gives the impression of higher cost. There could also be some kind of accounting or tax implications so they use the same address (legit) but no mention or association with the Dealership entity?
