Default Service interval

I have a MY2015 XC60, D4204T5 engine (as obtained through VIDA).

I'm due my 5th service now at ~57000 .

The first 3 appear to have been carried out by Doves Volvo in Preston at 9425, 22417 and 33683 respectively.
It was serviced (4th) prior to my buying the car at 46865 by the car dealership.

My local Volvo dealership (Sheffield) have quoted £860 for the 5th ("full manufacturers") service. The high cost was explained through using genuine parts, VAT, a health check and the need for both cambelt and aux belt to be replaced.

The maintenance service schedule here, states that the aux belt and timing belt, and associated tensioners and pulleys, don't need replacing until 10 years or 144,000 miles on Volvo S60, V60, XC60 D4 181 hp D4204T5, made / sold in 2014, 2015. Am I right in thinking they've probably quoted me for a D5, which I've read on here needs these replacing at 56000?

As the 4th service wasn't carried out by Volvo, and it no longer has any warranty, is there any point in having a main dealer do this service? I'm not sure how confident I am in the Sheffield branch anyway - either they don't know there own service schedules, or they're banking on me not checking and quite happy to fleece me.

Assuming I have it serviced by a local indy Volvo garage (recommendations around South Yorks welcome ), will the main dealer still offer system updates? I assume there will be a charge involved with this? What are the chances of the local indy garage being able to supply any updates?

TIA, Dave
