All of these things add to the overall impression a customer develops of their car ownership experience. Add the recurrent faults, the less than stellar dealer service, and a lack of attention to customer care and many people will start to wonder whether they'd buy another (premium-priced) Volvo next time around.

(I realise not everyone shares this view or the experiences I've mentioned)
I share the same view as you. My previous non-volvo dealer would always release the car with petrol and left it to individuals to top up before returning the car. I suspect if someone abused this kind gesture then the next time they wanted a loan car, they would be politely told none available.
