ok..he calls u next day..and says $700 for taking it apart...hmmm lets think about that...

lets say $70 per hour for labour...thats 10 hours labour...just what the hell did he take apart????? unless you specifically authorised work, or he specifically warned you of the cost of this i would tell him to go do something anatomically impossible and to give you your car RIGHT now before you lawyer up ...

by comparison...i hada $1000 bill on my 850 when i bought it...fo this the following was done/supplied:-

1. front to back check of the car.
2. new front disks, strip down and rebuild of all the brakes.
3. full engine service
4. repalce cam belts and ancilary belts.

done by a volvo independant specialist..

i did the thermostat myself...took all of about 10 minutes...
