Service Cost - Main Dealer.
Have been quoted £771 and a few pence for a 6 year service on a D3. This includes the cam belt change. Whilst appreciating that a lot of 6 year old cars will have done some 100k miles (mine is way below this) it still seems an awful lot to pay, way more than double last year.
Am I being unreasonable to expect a lower figure? Andy. PS The MOT is extra. |

depending on the model it will need a Aux belt only changing at 54000 miles irrespective of time/age ..has this been done if you have exceeded 54000 miles? ( Your cambelt change interval is 108000 miles or ten years which ever comes first ) |
There is a service price calculator tool on Volvo website...

Thanks for the replies.
Got the price wrong in original post - it was £871 and the few pence. Mileage is less than 38k. Yes, I did try haggling but no shifting. Andy. |
You are being taken for a ride.
Ask them explicitly to remove the cam belt change (unnecessary) and to give you their price. And possibly quote with breakdown. Did you have aux belts & tensioner changed already? Which service is this: a minor (~£290) or a major (~390) one? Prices I give you are the ones I paid in London & Hampshire over the time of my ownership (since 2010) and they have barely changed. Also, for reference: 18k service schedule My two-pence on related subject |

Fair point - still good point of reference.
But surely still valid for 2007-10 MY cars. Also, information from VIDA is misread by dealers - and to their benefit either. An example - as discussed here - is pushing customers for cam belt change @ service (year) #6, where the change it's purely driven either by mileage (varies, depending on the model, 108k in my case) or age (typically 10 years). |
