DI Cassette - dealer just ripped me off

My 1999 9-3 wouldn't start on Friday night. I had AAA tow it to the local Saab dealer. They said they would call with an estimate after they diagnose the car. I called today and they told me that they diagnosed and fixed the problem. They didn't call me with an estimate before fixing it and now I have a bill for replacing the DI cassette - $675.57! If they had called me with an estimate that high I would have had the car towed to my house, ordered the part on eeuroparts.com for $329.50 and fixed it myself as it's an easy DIY task (at most 30 minutes). What action can I take when I go to pick up the car as they didn't give me an estimate? I have already printed out a price for the part on eeuroparts.com. Does anybody know whether dealers charge much higher than $329.50 for the part or do they just rape you on the labor (like saying it took 2-3 hours to fix)?
Any help would be much appreciated.
JT
