Well, if you want to add any weight to the opinions you've received...

I am a business owner, sixteen years now independent appliance repair. I give prompt expert service. I am not the cheapest. I will not install the customers part. I guarantee my parts and service. I have a liability insurance policy.

Here's the kicker. I recently met a Volvo indie who moved here. This guy knows more about Volvos than I have ever dreamed of knowing. He is a successful business owner and he will not install your FCP part either. He will give you prompt expert service but if you screw with his profit, like trying to get him to install your FCP part, he is going to call you asshole behind your back and you will be on the list of people who get the inflated charge next time around.

Yeah, sounds harsh huh? But 100% true if you have ever run a business. Either DIY or butch up and pay the man, there is no middle ground.
