I will soon need my 7 year service done and this is the quote from the main dealer.
You will note the part numbers are visible so it's easy to make a comparison.
£560 for just the belts. 2K for the whole job! Surely they buy them from the same place as any UK dealer!

The prices our dealers are charging are silly. Your quote was hard to read but the oil apparently comes from 1litre bottles with that price. I buy my parts from the UK and despite shipping costs I usually have my parts for less than half of what LR Sweden charge. I do my servicing myself partly as there is no dealer nearby but mostly due to the prices. Buy your oil online and let them use your oil. I bought 6L of Castrol Magnatec Start/Stop 5w30 A5 (what Castrol recommend now) from oljemagasinet.se for 594 Sek inkl shipping.2008 Java Black D3. 2.7TDV6 HSE.

It it is crazy. The Swedish price for the parts is equivalent to £800, I can buy all the parts from the UK including oil for a little over £200. That's a massive difference.
I'm not sure they would allow me to provide parts but if so I would rather take it there as the belt change is not something any Volvo mechanics are willing to take on! The labour price is around £1K so although expensive, it's not totally over the top.
