A few questions about costs and problems with 01 S60
I have a few questions about my 2001 volvo s60 (non-turbo). This is my first car and I have had it since june of this year. My first question is how much does the 90,000 mile service usually go for at a volvo specific shop. Not the dealer. My second question is probably not going to be answered as its something that you cannot (probably) answer just over the internet. My car rattles/vibrates at 2000K all the time when im driving. No matter what gear im in. Was wondering if thats some kind of issue thats been had with other cars.
Also my winshield wiper is stripped where it connects to the motor. I can't seem to find any place to buy OEM Volvo Parts. Also I can't find the whole thing instead of just the blade.

The rattle can be many things, engine mounts, or wheel balancing or alignment or wheel bearings. It's not normal. Expect to pay through the teeth at the dealer to get that one fixed.
I am still shocked by how many people use the dealer intead of an independant mechanic for routine maintenence. Usually consists of oil change and filters, vehicle check, fluid check, tire rotation, and so on.

This is what my mechanic does and some of it is extra. He replaces all the fluids except for the transmission unless it needs it. New Air Filter, Cabin Air Filter, Changes The Oil/Oil Filter, Full Saftey Check, New Glow Plugs. I guess when you think about it 437 is a good deal.
