I don't mind paying a fair price for any job but when a main dealer is charging twice the price for the same service compared to another main dealer, admittedly a Ford and therefore non Volvo, then something is wrong. Also I would reiterate that having had Citroens, Vauxhalls and Seats previously, all equivalent ages and engine sizes, the bill for this 1st service is more than double the cost that I have paid at any one of those main dealers. How can that be justified? They also have computers to be paid for, staff to be trained etc.
I repeat again that I cannot trade one Volvo dealer against another as in the North East there are 3 Volvo garages and they are all the same dealer. They have a monopoly
I am not condemning anyone who wants to stick with the Volvo dealer, I would far rather do that as I have with every other car that I have owned but I will not be ripped off.
