Does have experience with Volvos? Volvo's are not your typical Honda that the local tuner boys are used to, they're much more computerized and have lower tolerance towards variation in their specifications. IMO, I wouldn't trust someone to "tune" my car that I do not know and do not have a long history of similar cars for reference.

And yet they still want to charge you? And will they then pay for a new motor or computer when they are perfecting and screw it up?
