Hi swedishcar,
Sorry for your service problems.
I've not been in Pacifica since the early 1990s.
Yet resources exist so you can find a satisfactory Volvo service facility for the exceptional hourly labor rates you pay.
Does the service center correct their mistake at their expense including parts?
The Brickboard SHOPS page, found at the brickboard main page:
https://www.brickboard.com/
I searched for shops in CA-state. Copy and paste URL in a new browser tab or window.
https://www.brickboard.com/SHOPS/?cat_id=&state=CA
The closest shops appear to be near or in the South Bay. Some of this information may be out of date by location or ownership info. A shop or more may be no longer in business.
The Click and Clack Car Talk Radio Show has a website. Fan of the show and website users populate this forum with shop information:

Try the search using nearby zip codes. No facility I see to input acceptable diatnce from your location. I found in Pacifica:
Pacifica Muffler & Volvo Service
5.0 of 5 stars
1042 Palmetto Ave, Pacifica, CA 94044
(650) 359-2977
Also:
https://www.volvomechanics.com/
A search in zip 94044 yields:
https://www.volvomechanics.com/search?q=94044
www.volvomechanics.com does not advocate a shop. Merely lists shops.
You may want to ask using different resources.
There is the Volvo Club of America:
https://vcoa.org/
Golden Gate Chapter
President: Mike Mascote
Web site:
https://www.ggvcoa.com/
Th sponsors page lists repair places yet many are bought or closed.
707-689-4087467 Marina Blvd.
San Leandro, CA 94577
You can ask on their facebook group page:
https://www.facebook.com/GGVCOA/
There may be SF Bay Area - specific Volvo enthusiast forums on facebook where you can ask also.
Also on facebook, each group page with 21k + members, ask at:
Volvo 240, 740 and 940 owners club (Rob Bariess' fb group)
https://www.facebook.com/groups/23765538560/
Volvo 240 fan club:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/Volvo240Club/
Turbobricks (not affiliated with the Turbobricks website)
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2204727570/
You can use Google maps, maybe Bing or other web mapping service, and enter your town or zip code and Volvo repair.
Use social media to check on the site as well as the BBB.
AAA also provides such a service yet the shops are usually AAA affiliated as with towing service.
Questions?
Hope that helps.
MacDuffed.
