VolvoDoc :

Hello, I'm Jason. I will do my best to answer your question quickly and accurately using the information you have provided.

VolvoDoc :

that's quite a bit of money just to remove and replace the tank. Industry-accepted labor time is 6.0 hours. I could see, with it being an older car, there being some issues with possible corrosion of hardware making it take longer, but $1000 is pretty high

VolvoDoc :

was this quote from a dealer or independent?

Customer :

Quote was from an independent

VolvoDoc :

wow

VolvoDoc :

I think I'd recommend shopping around a bit

VolvoDoc :

thank you
