Re: $377 for 70K service? 850 1995

Regular gas is currently $1.60 in Bay Area (hey rest of US, this

is a warning since California leads the nation). Mostly

city driving.

Tires and batteries have been replaced. Here are the details:

Includes all dealer recommended service; new battery and tires.

Serviced by dealers. On the 10K service we were ripped-off by the

selling dealer (Royal Volvo, now out of business) at $170.00

(where was the Brickboard in 95?). I would probably not be a

happy owner if they had continued to service the car (compare it

to the 20K service costs). Battery and tires are new and that

bumped up the total maintenance even though they should be good

thru 60K miles. Service details:

5K oil change (I do these) $15.00
