Well, you still can, but its not going to be cheap for a garage to do multiple drain and fills. There's plenty of Volvo Specialists out there, but you may have to travel. Plus, a garage usually only does one drain and fill anyway. The price you got of £190 will be likely 3 litres of fluid and the rest is labour - One drain and fill. Don't be under the impression that for £190 you'll have crystal clear fluid, that's not the case. Transmission fluid isn't cheap and hourly rates in garages aren't either. Its easily £60 per hour at a specialist nowadays and you can double that at a dealership.

When you do it yourself, you'll do a few sump dump's and get much better results. The garage won't do that.
