My 2005 s40 Volvo had a charging system problem while I was travelling from Orlando to port st lucie, Florida. I had the vehicle towed to Wallace Volvo dealership in Stuart, thinking it would require a new alternator. Their assessment of the problem was the a/c compressor was seized and had to be replaced. As well they said a motor mount should be replaced as well as the battery. When I suggested the power wire for the electric clutch on the a/c compressor be disconnected therefore allowing the pulley to free wheel. I would live without the a/c system. They then told me, I didn't understand the problem was the bearings in the front of the compressor and the clutch would not free wheel as an idler. The estimated cost of this was in the area of $2300.00 plus taxes. I decided to take the car home to think about it. I went on line to "parts geeks" to check on parts availability and pricing. I consulted a local repair shop to ask if they would install parts I supplied. They agreed. When I looked under the hood for identification numbers I noticed the belt was still on the alternator. I pushed on the belt with my fingers, it moved freely so I pushed it a few more times. I then called the local repair shop and explained my findings. I then had the vehicle towed to "Bobs automotive repair" in port st lucie for further examination. They called me to say they installed a new drive belt between the crank pulley and the a/c clutch and started the engine to determine if there was a problem with the compressor or clutch components. The car runs perfectly quite, the air conditioning and charging systems work as they should. The cost of repair was $100.93. The difference between and honor repair shop and Wallace Volvo dealership is more than $2,000.00. There are laws against fraud and theft. Volvo should check this dealership very closely to learn how much theft is actually taking place.
