Anything special I need to be aware of for the 100K maintenance schedule? If I take it to the dealer, I'll pay an arm and a leg versus an independent service department.

 

The Volvo dealer has a one sheet document "Schedule of Factory Maintenance Service Operations". They may give you a copy before you decide where the work will be done.

My experience is very limited, but if it were me I would change the timing belt, tensioner, and auxilary belt (if not done previously), and flush the transmission.

I'd also have them really check for damage to hoses, clamps, connections, and engine component covers. I realize this may be easier said than done, but if these issues had been addressed in my car I would have saved a significant amout of time and money in repairs.

I know this isn't much, and may seem obvious. I hope more experienced members offer thier guidance. I wish you the best of luck.
