Servicing Costs
 
1 Attachment(s)
Have a new XC90 T8 due in July, it's my first Volvo so I wanted to get a feel for main dealer servicing costs.

The UK site provides a "servicing price indicator", I was playing with this and noticed they charge £140 for wiper blades? Is this for real - maybe genuine blades are made of gold? Anybody got experience with this?

Maybe Aquablades. Don't really know what they are tbh - awaiting delivery.

Makes the 5yr plan for£599 a bargain, although that not include wiper blades

Fitting is allocated a time which will probably be 1/2 hour. Labour at 180 per hour? Plus cost of genuine Volvo parts.

£180 per hour?? For real? My last paid dealer transaction invoiced for £90 per hour.

I take it we can buy and change our own wiper blades without affecting warranty etc? £140 is ridiculous!

Pair of bosch front wiper blades from halfords 24 of your best english pounds. Cant tell them apart from the ones that came with the car. Go out for a slap up meal with what you saved.
