Always have the work done by Volvo out of preference. I trust them slightly more than non dealerships/workshops!
Oh and 4 new Volvo wheel caps!
System was "fine" just a "recommended" suggestion. Was 1/10th of the bill approx.!

That's your choice, but you're paying way over the odds. You could save yourself a lot by going to a Volvo independent garage - I'm sure there's plenty around with good reviews. They use genuine parts like the dealership & are equipped with the software to work on these cars (or reputable ones are at least).
Bringing your car to a dealership to get basics done like changing brake discs/pads & an a/c regas really is pointless. Its not rocket science to change these items for any garage really.
Your car & your choice of course. However, if you keep going to dealerships to maintain your car, you'll have plenty of "eye watering" Invoices. This one will be one of many... just keep that in mind. Dealerships in general are a rip off.
