The customer admitted to looking at his phone before he ran over a cement divider.
The car is at the body shop getting the front bumper and front/rear fender liners done. Your job is to guess how much the following mechanical items cost (without labor). Winner gets cooookies!
Parts Damaged:
1 x Left Front Active Shock
1 x Right Front Active Shock
2 x Rear Auto-leveling Shocks
4 x 19 inch Arito diamond cut Aluminum Wheel
1 x Set of TMP Sensors
1 x Left Front Control Arm
1 x Right Control Arm
We are using standard Price is Right contestant’s row rules aka closest to the actual retail price without going over.
Good luck :]
Winner: NeonDriver with a guess of $5500

$4,805 Thats an expensive mess up, whatever the price is.
EDIT: Also, I’ve run a cement divider before in my SC400. Only cost me some scrapes on the bottom of my bumper (I blame snow).

Good guess guess buddy, but a bit over :(
![]() 09/29/2015 at 12:20 |

It will be about this much with labor, but on parts alone, it’s an over bid :(
![]() 09/29/2015 at 12:21 |

Last year before the S90 is released. Is your bid $11,400?
![]() 09/29/2015 at 12:21 |

Very good bid, but just a tad over. Thanks tho :)

Yes
![]() 09/29/2015 at 12:25 |

no labour?
i’m going to say....500 a piece for the front shocks
400 a piece for the rear
wheels: 500 each?
TMPS: 50 each
the control arms: 300 each
so that adds up tooo...
1000+800+2000+200+600= 4600...
lets say 5k for a nice round number

I was surprised, it’s gonna cost me 286.00 Canadian with taxes. That comes to about 3.50$ american, so you are right.

$5500 seems about right for parts in USD.
This would easily run you much nearer $10K up here in Cunkistan.
I would say that’s probably $7500-8000 in CAD.

Ouch, this is why I take mine to an independent (though who knows if they are actually cheaper). Also I don’t run over concrete dividers (except for one parking lot one completely I forgot about).

In parts, we sell more to independent shops than our own service department. Customers that go to independents like to get OEM parts. We sell the parts to them for 20% off then they mark it up on their end however much they like. We love independent shops here also. If you get the job done at a Volvo dealer though, we now offer lifetime warranty on parts.

Interesting. I’ve been going to
Volvo’s Only
in Bellaire, but haven’t really formed an opinion on the one way or another yet.
![]() 09/29/2015 at 18:04 |

Volvo’s Only and SW Automotive are very good shops. They have OEM computers for diag and use OEM parts.

Only semi related
Is it true that volvo bumpers come prepainted from the factory
![]() 09/30/2015 at 09:12 |

most replacement bumper covers can be ordered painted to the color code of the car
