My brother and his wife bought a Volvo a few years ago. He didn't want
to get one but his wife insisted on Volvo because their son had got one
and liked it and anything that son likes has to be the best. He was so
happy about the oil change interval... until he had to drive almost 45
miles to the Volvo dealer for his first servicing..... almost $500.
