NEWDCXC70

I'm a first time Volvo owner - just picked up a 2004 XC70 three weeks ago.
Like many others I'm seeing, this needs valve body work. After 10-15 minutes of driving the shifts between 1-2 become harder and harder.
While I'd like to pretend I could fix this myself - it's well out of the realm of my wrenching capabilities. I had the transmission flushed two weeks ago - and it reduced the problem for about 500 miles - but it's getting worse again.
I'm looking for someone in the DC area who has a recommendation for someone who knows the XC (or at least the transmission) and can help me get this fixed (and other things down the road.)
If you've had this sort of thing done - how much did it cost? I've heard stories of fixes between $750 and $5k... it seems like a pretty wide range.
Any advice / ideas would be greatly appreciated.
