More Questionable Estimates S70

Definitley sounds like dealer prices as I have had the same quote for brakes and actuators for the door locks. If you are not a do it yourselfer, find any local independent shop and you should save at least 25-30% across the board.

On a couple of the items you can find replacements very cheap:
- upper engine mount is about $15 but you have to have a special tool to install it. You can instead use a urethan mount for about $22, and it can be installed without a tool (very common).


-The new key remotes are available on eBay for under $20. I haven't programed one on the Volvo, but it has been relatively easy on any other cars.

-brakes are definitely overpriced (I responded in your other post). I received the same quote from my local dealer and ended up just doing it all myself with ZImmerman rotors and Volvo pads. Parts were about $210 plus about two hours of labor.

I'm not as familiar with costs of suspension parts, but if it's like the other prices, you can get it done much cheaper somewhere else.
