That is always a good starting point in my opinion and in my little experience so far.
I do feel some people automatically look for a non-Volvo part first?
In general. The item from a dealer is likely to be correct. For example, it has been said Volvo wiper blades are suited to the rather stronger than usual spring strength of Volvo wiper arms, giving a better wipe.
The price is often good and can sometimes work out cheaper than an alternative.
One needs to be realistic. Different items from different sources. Some items are even only available from other suppliers. And there have been criticisms of quality of some genuine parts nowadays.
And then again some parts are only available from Volvo dealers. And some top quality is only available from Volvo dealers.
If you find a helpful Volvo dealer parts department, use them loyally and in my experience you will be looked after. And if 240 friendly Volvo dealers are not supported by 240 owners, we will lose them as being unviable.
