I've been having this ongoing issue with my XC60 where the start-stop function just refuses to engage, and I took it to a general garage nearby who told me the auxiliary battery needs replacing but they weren't exactly confident about doing the work themselves, which didn't fill me with much reassurance to be honest. I live in Motor City and I'd really prefer to find somewhere local rather than driving across town, especially since the main battery is also starting to show signs of age and I don't want to risk getting stranded halfway to some distant workshop. I've been doing some research and it seems like Volvos are a bit particular about battery specifications and the registration process, so I definitely want to go with people who actually understand these cars rather than just any random mechanic who might not know about the software side of things. I came across a mention of Trusted Volvo battery installation specialists in Motor City, which would be incredibly convenient given where I'm located, but I'm always a bit wary of trusting online listings without some proper feedback from other Volvo owners first. Has anyone here had their Volvo battery replaced in this area recently and can tell me if the experience was good and whether the pricing was reasonable compared to the dealership? I'm particularly concerned about whether they used genuine or OEM-spec batteries and if they actually performed the necessary software updates or resets afterwards, because I've heard horror stories about people who skipped that step and ended up with all sorts of electrical gremlins. Any recommendations for a place that genuinely knows their way around Swedish cars would be absolutely brilliant right now.
