The transmission fluid was lower. at Tire Choice. The timing belt was about the same and I wasn't going to mess about with that so Volvo did it. And the front brake pads was essentially the same so Volvo did it. So outside of the transmission fluid, Volvo was pretty much the same as Tire Choice. I was pretty surprised. I was just hoping to avoid going up there....again. It would be nice to find somewhere down here as an alternative to Volvo.
Volvo may be more expensive because they may be changing the transmission filter and Tire Choice may only be changing the fluid. It is more work to also change the transmission filer. You need to ask at both places exactly what work they will perform.
