I've had to take it into a dealer for a couple of items as they required use of the Volvo updates system, however from this point on it will be serviced by my friendly local mechanic who has been servicing all my cars for the last 20+ years.

Always gives me an good price and warns of upcoming work (his assesment was: rear pads need doing on next service but will be OK for now, fronts are halfway through their life, everything else seems ok, Volvo's assessment was OH MY GOD YOU WILL DIE IF YOU DRIVE THIS 5 MORE YARDS WITH THOSE BRAKES!!

He worked in a few dealers before going independent about 5 years ago and he has lots of tales of what they do to generate more profit from each customer visit.
