Having a trained mechanic inspect your car - ????

So it's £215 for Volvo to do it or £385 to do it myself. 🤔

I will just share my experience:
- 2x4l kegs of oil: 48eur (Castrol Volvo spec) from Amazon.co.uk
- oil filter and oil replacement labour at my indie shop - 45eur
- cabin filter: 13eur from Ebay + 20mins of acrobatics myself
- breakdown cover: included in car insurance
- software download: for 13 years old car? come on...

I will take this over 215GBP any day.
but again - its personal preferences so no judgements here.
