or am I gonna get screwed $$$$wise?

I've been having a loud idling noise when the car in drive with the foot on the brake. I wonder if the tune up will fix the problem. I didn't have good experience last time with a oil chang, cuz I think they forgot to give me an oil change....

any experiences

    120K+ mile Tune-up, Should I take it to the dealer? 850 1994

    I just had my 120K mile service last month and its a big one. I haven't take my 1994 850 to the dealer in years, but have an independent shop that works on nothing but Volvo's. They are specialist and not dirt cheap, but still less expensive than the dealer. My bad news is my evaporator is leaking and I have no air. Your lucky if you haven't had this problem yet. Be sure to get a new flame trap or at least clean the old one. This cost nothing and will save you a rear oil seal job. Find someone who works one Volvo's.
