Getting ripped off by dealer!

[Road Racer]

Be very careful when having a car diagnosed at
Merrimack Street Volvo in Manchester NH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They told me I had a faulty oil pan gasket which was sucking air and making my valves tap.
The engine would have to be lifted to change it. They also told me that I had a bad oil leak comming from my under my intake manifold. (two separate problems) Total cost for repairs would be $800.00 plus. I have it all in writing!

I took my S80 to Marks European Cars in Methuen MA. For a secound oppinion.
Mark fixed my problems for under $100.00 Turns out I had a bad oil filter gasket which was causing the oil leak and at the same time sucking air making my valves tap.
Oil Change is all I needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merrimack Volvo like most dealers are very nice to deal with but they have perfected the art of
deception to unknown customers that think they are getting the best from a dealer. The only people that should go to dealers are peole with their cars still under warrantee, other than that, your setting yourselfs up for a royal ripping off!!

I'm glad you didn't get ripped off. I'm going to move this thread to "dealer experiences" but thanks for letting us all know
