I understand why people trained as mechanics or with a lot of mechanical experience service their own cars, though it can't be easy with they way modern cars are built these days. I have neither the knowledge, time or premises to do any of it. Fortunately I live near to an excellent Volvo specialist who give a very good service, so I just pay them to do it, and their prices are fair in my opinion.
I do read a lot of posts on here where people spend endless time tinkering with their Volvos in order to rectifying ongoing issues and sometime wonder whether they would be better off if they just found a decent specialist and paid to get it sorted. My car is also the only way I have of getting to work so it has to be reliable (one of the reasons I chose a Volvo - so far so good) so I just leave it to the experts to maintain it and accept the cost.
