I have an extended warranty through Volvo and have a question.

I’ve recently been hearing an air flow sound (and beginning to feel the air on my foot) after I depress and release the brake pedal. The longer I drive and use the brake, the louder and more I hear/feel it. I called Volvo and they tell me it’s the brake booster and needs to be replaced.

They say “it’s not a big job” but my question is, if it’s not covered under my warranty, how big of a job is it? Any idea what they might charge me for it?
The car is a 2003 but only just turned 70k. It amazes me how these things fail with such low mileage……

Thank you

If your car has an extended Volvo (VIP or CPO) warranty, it IS covered
