So a Volvo dealer in Northampton has quoted me £275 or so for an oil and filter change which also comes with a breakdown policy and car health check. Seems very excessive and is likely paying for the breakdown. Are there are any indy Volvo specialist garages in the area should I need something more advanced doing to my S80? Thanks in advance.

Always worth giving Avalon a shout.

Don't expect it to be any/much cheaper though.

Last time I got them to price up a service and MOT (2019) it was cheaper at the Volvo main dealer. (MY12 S80)

Interesting. Avalon gave me a quote as high as the main dealer Bells for a service. I thought indy was supposed to be cheaper?
