960 timimg belt question? 900 1992

I would like to find out the advice of all of you. Due to the problems associated with timming belts in the 960 is it recommended that it be changed at the dealer or at a regular independent Volvo shop?

What warranty can the dealer give you?

I'll tell my story. Less than 30 days after I bought my used 960 from the dealer the timming belt broke. The dealer paid for the $6,000 repair job under their 30 day warranty. Lucky me!

Now if the dealer installs a new belt and it breaks before its next scheduled repair what happens?

I have owned other cars and this issue of replacing the timming belt has never been such a major problem.

Is this a inherent problem in the 960 ?

Thanks for your help
