Hello,
my mother has a 2005 S60 with 95k miles on it in Central/North New Jersey
she really didn't do too much maintenance on it other than changing the engine oil and breaks and tires over the years
I believe the car needs some major maintenance, but I do not know where to begin.
So my first action should be
get a full vehicle checkup from the dealer for $125 and decide what to repair. I doubt I'll want the dealership to rip me a new one if I do all the maintenance there.
or
Find a local specialist in the area and see what kind of check up they do. I do plan on doing simple stuff (like breaks) myself, but will be shopping around for the major maintenance.
