    The ABS controller on my 1999 V70/XC is going nuts, so I need to send it out
    to be fixed, but the dealship wants an arm & a leg to remove it and replace
    it.

    Any one got a good INDEPENDENT Volvo shop nearby that can remove it and
    maybe even arrange to have it rebuilt rather than putting in a new one that
    will fail the same way?

    You can remove it yourself, and get it rebuilt for about $150
    through Vic Rocha. I have used his service, and I think that others
    on this group have as well. Here is his webpage:

    Good luck.

    P.S. FWIW, I priced this out at several dealers and two independent
    repair shops in the Chicago area, and the best price I received was
    $450 - which was at a dealer. I also looked into getting an ABS
    module from a reliable junkyard and using that instead, but it was
    not as cheap as Vic Rocha's service. For example, Erie Vovo wanted
    $650 for just the part.

    Rocha does good work for a reasonable price!
