Compilation of repair shops?? (dealer and/or indy) 850

I know volvospeed has a short list of dealer reviews (and some indy shops), but it's rather thin, and I couldn't find a way to submit reviews. Is there another site with a better compilation? Other than in scattered posts, I don't see a central location to find that info here, either. How do people feel about survey here, or in another place easily accessible? cartalk has some, but there have been no new reviews for a long time. (I'm interested in MA, btw.) Does anyone already have a personal volvo site willing to share some space?

This question is prompted by a second post I read regarding timing belt failure after the replacement by a dealer (1st one by an indy shop). I'll need to have the timing belt changed on my 96 855T soon, and I'm planning to take it to a dealer. Depending on the dealer, 70k w/ timing belt service runs anywhere from ~400 to ~530 in MA. I don't mind paying a bit more if I know people had no major complaints. I hate the thought of timing belt snapping on my wife with kids in the back.

I'd like to be able to do it on my own sometime, but don't have enough time/tool/space/experience/etc. for a major job (for me, that is).

I hope I didn't open a can of worms...
