Hi,
I need a good indy shop in Seattle that will install the parts I bought from FCP Groton for a tune-up and 140k timing service on my '94 850. Any recommendations other than Daisywagon and Larry's, who both refused?

More details:
My '94 850 with 140k that is due for a tune-up and timing belt. I don't have access to a garage or even a driveway at the moment and thus need to go to a shop in Seattle to get this work done for me. Stupid me thought I'd save a bunch of money and bought the parts from FCP Groton. They've been shipped and will be delivered Friday.

I had assumed that Daisywagon would do this for me, but I didn't think ahead and check with them before purchasing the parts. I just called them and they said they won't do it.

Larry's Volvo in Beacon Hill, another good local shop, refused as well. What surprised me about Larry's is that a couple months ago they were willing to install a used ABS pump I bought personally from a junkyard in Tacoma (Larry's quoted me $700 for a used one, I bought it for $150), they aren't willing to install brand new genuine Volvo parts.

I understand these shops make money on their parts and want to be sure that they can back up the parts they install, but I'm stuck in a jam with a few hundred dollars worth of parts that will be here Friday and no way to get them installed. Please help!

Thanks!
-P
