my thoughts.....
When I bought my V70 AWD R in 2008 I bought a volvo 2 year extended warranty. The car had full VDSH. I could have taken the car to an indi for service but due to the complex nature of the car ( 4C suspension + AWD system ) I opted to get the car dealer serviced. I'm so so glad I did. Under warranty the car received new bevel gear, clutch, DMF, x2 4C shockers, and various electrical components. I may have got those repairs done under the warranty if I had gone indi servicing, but it was so much easier having the dealership "going into bat" for me with Volvo..
Once the warranty expired I began serving my car, if you don't wish to, or prefer others to do it for you, an indi would be a good choice.
Your car sounds as if its AWD, perhaps its not, but one "malfunction" will perhaps make you wish you had the car Volvo serviced. The dealership looked after me, which I don't believe they would have done if the car was not FULLY serviced within the dealer network.
So.... how lucky do you feel....?????
My 2d...
