Not in AA. Green Flag. Lee, you do seem to have this not paying much at the Dealer down pat, but I don't really see many others able to replicate your paying a much smaller %age of their fee. I'll stick to the reader and a local garage I trust. I personally just think they are charging the huge amounts to cover big expensive buildings and huge staffing levels, simple maths to cover all that. Does not mean they are better mechanic's, tough they do have access to more specialist tools for the more fiddly / model specific jobs.

I like the fact I am not paying them anything when I can do a repair for 60 quid, when it could cost over 400 at a dealer!

Reader is a google away, just search Volvo Vida ebay - loads of people selling. They are in the 55 to 70 quid range.
