Default 2005 S40 T5 AWD Service schedule

Where can I find the Service and Warranty manual for my car?

I am told that I need my 75,000 mile service done soon (I have 72,157 miles on my car; just took it into Barrier Volvo for a $30 oil change and inspection).

The problem is that I am receiving different recommendations for what needs to be done. In all these are what are mentioned:
  • Oil & Oil Filter Change
  • Cabin Air Filter Change
  • Tire Rotation
  • Full Inspection
  • Engine Air Filter Change
  • Flush Brake Fluid*
Now the main item of contention seems to be the Brake Fluid Flush. 3 of the places told me it needs to be done every 37,500 miles, and one of the places told me it needed to be done at 45,000 miles. The guy who told me it is the latter works at Barrier Motors Volvo in Bellevue, WA, and told me that for 2006+ it is 37,500, but for the 2005 it is recommended to only be done at 45,000.

So does anyone know what needs to be done? The various prices so far are:

Daisy Wagon in Seattle: $525
Ravenna Volvo: $400
Barrier Volvo: $269 (says brake fluid flush doesn't need to be done)
Sandberg Volvo: $340.42

(I live in Seattle, only mentioning specific places just in case it is relevant to someone).

So what should I do? I am also told that my right engine mount is shot and needs to be replaced, and there is a crack in my reservoir coolant tank which also needs to be replaced. I am told by Barrier Volvo that these can be replaced under my VIP Warranty, but I was not aware I had any warranty at all when I purchased the car from them in March.

I've been searching for awhile and cannot find any official Volvo recommendations for the servicing of my car, please help.

Edit: Just got off the phone with Sandberg Volvo and they told me where I could find my Service Guide, it is at VolvoCars.com (Click Your Volvo at the top, then click Volvo Vehicle Information Library, scroll to the bottom and put in your car)

So I guess my real question now is who services my car...
