My volvo is running hard. I noticed the temperature idle is on the red. What is causing this? I have anti freeze and the car just came out of the shop within a month. Now when I tried to start it, it will not start.

The thermostat probably will cost less than $20.00 and labor rate varies with your location could range from $85-$130.00 per hr.
