I have a 2005 xc70 with 39k miles,my son has driven it for the last 10k.I think the brakes should be serviced.Should I do pads and rotors? There is not any noise,just being careful.Is there a service chain that won't pick you off?

everybody who i know who has a volvo out of warranty has tried a mech from this link, and they have all been pleased. and i mean from one end of the U.S. to the other. good luck on the mech and the brake job. post who you will be using since this might come in handy for another member in the future.

Maybe I missed something...I realize that's alot of miles, but if nothing seems wrong what makes you think the brakes need service. And personally, I'd ask a friend where they like getting their car fixed instead of going to someone new and asking if they see something wrong. Asking like that, I'm sure they will.
