Hello everyone,
My car is a non-turbo '96 850 with only 52000 miles and I need to rebuilt
the transmission. It is a long story but I'm 95% sure I need a new
transmission.
Can anyone suggest a reasonable price to pay? I got phones estimates
anywhere from $ 1750 to $ 4000. The $ 4000 is from a dealer. The $ 1750
price comes from a small tranny shop which the owner has been doing this
job for more than 20 years, but the shop does not look too professional.
On the outside I also see mainly older cars parked to be serviced. He
would give 12 months/12K miles warranty, which is also waht the dealer
would give me for a $ 4,000 job.
I checked with another shop which looks more professional and I see newer
and expensive foreign cars parked outside.
The cost from them is $ 3,000 and they would give me 24 months/24K miles
warranty.
I would appreciate very much any suggestion. I need to fix the car very
soon. Clearly I would go with the small shop but I wonder how complicated
is to rebuild a Volvo tranny.
Is it something that any tranny shop can do it?
Thank you,
Pier
