I have found a great local independent shop, they do good work, and value customer satisfaction. However the prices on parts quoted to me have been high, sometimes very high. The only way I could afford to get necessary work done was to buy the parts myself - Volvo parts. I would not mind paying a bit extra as they have to order parts, keep inventories up. etc., but when the prices are about double ... I have started to feel a bit guilty about bringing in my own parts though - should I be feeling guilty? They know that I feel bad about doing it, but realize that it is the only way right now that I can afford to get the necessary work done. They do know that I appreciate the work that they do on our cars.
