It is very unwise to farm this out to any Tom Dick or Harry for service work , this is a specialised highly technical car which needs the correct things checking and carrying out in the correct way , would you take a Ferrari to Halfords ? It's exactly the same situation .
At least two things which will lead to trouble , not having the software updates and the oil change will lead to a trip to the volvo dealer eventually after the service due to oil level issues . ! The oil is a unique specification to volvo too and it must be used as to not invalidate the warranty .
