Just wanting to know if everyone has experienced any or all of these issues:

My 2010 AWD T6 with 73,000 miles needs a new brake pump, front brakes including pads and discs, and an engine mount. A whopping $1400 quote from the dealer. And that's on top of their $550 75,000 mile tune up which doesn't include topping off fluids or draining and changing the transmission fluid.

Am I getting screwed and what would your recommendations be on this?

Thanks

 

The brake vacuum pump can be resealed. Brakes are a wear item. And I don't know what kind of crappy dealer doesn't top off fluids with a service. The oil is changed and the brake fluid is flushed, so the only fluids left to top off are coolant and washer fluid. I highly doubt they don't top these up. The trans fluid does not get replaced though, not with any service. And it isn't checked if there is no leak.

 

Thanks for that. The dealer is Northpoint Volvo in Alpharetta GA. I'm hoping that the fluids are topped off but it would be my fault for not asking specfically. They quote $470 for the 75,000 mile tune up and oil change then you go a la carte for "extras" and I thought I heard topping fluids was an extra.

 

It's pretty standard to top off washer fluid, coolant and power steering fluid (I left that out of my last post) with any service. Brake fluid is not usually topped off because it is a wear indicator for the brake pads.
