I'm not overly surprised by this; whilst independents will have lower overheads than main dealers they still have to make a profit, and markup on parts will contribute towards this.

yes for the last 5 years most independents are getting as close to the volvo prices as they dare.

On the positive they say they cleaned out the inlet manifold which had to come off and did not add additional time , at least this is what they are telling me! Whatever, they were real nice and squeezed me in as I desperately needed car fixed.

I've just been quoted £1,260 for pads+discs all round + brake fluid. Rough breakdowns below:
Brake fluid replace = £75Down to inflation?

Definitely, go to an independent. You have no reason to go to a main dealer for a brake disc/pad change.

If you have a modicum of mechanical ability you can do it yourself. You can even use Volvo bits and order online from TMS at a decent discount. Best guesstimate would be about 500 quid for all the original Volvo bits from TMS. The fluid change is most likely also unnecessary. Oh BTW Stoneacre have a habit of recommending unnecessary work. So maybe it is all not needed. Mine is a T8 but front disks weren't done until 120k miles.

Interestingly local Kwik-fit refuses to do a quote stating the last XC90 they did they ended up having to pay Volvo a couple of hundreds to reset the e-handbrake...
So it seems rip-off everywhere... Quote:
