Where do you live in Mass, Acton?
There is 47 shops on brickboard, and 355 0n the "old" database, maybe we should all add a couple? (I will as soon as I can figure out where to put their site names)
I've gone to Lovering Volvo in Nashua since they opened, and Volvo of Nashua before that. VofN was run by Mr. Lovering until there was some internal strife, email me if you want a good insider story.
I always get a loaner and discounts on parts and service. Of course I should, I get 4 cars serviced there. We have put 260,000 Volvo miles on 6 cars and have only suffered 2 breakdowns on the road. One was due to generator brushes at 210,000 miles on an '88 745, the other two years later when the same alternator came loose. (It was originally repaired by an AAA garage in Michigan)
I have never had a noisy brake either!
B & D in Shirley is a great used parts store. Alternator - $30 Their pricing appears to be strictly supply and demand.
You do not say which year your 850 is, but after looking at "rubber elbows" at volvospeed, the next time I have a timing belt done, I'm going to have the rubber elbow under the intake manifold changed when they do the serpentine belt.
