Do you live and drive in a very dusty part of a country?
The air filter is usually due for replacement every 30K miles and gets replaced when you have that complete service done together with all the other fluids and filters and spark plugs.
This is also one of the "gravy" items that some shops over sell to an unknowing customer.
The price for part and labor is not outrageous but the point is if your car really needed it? Suggested retail price for a Saab original filter is $24.00 so I hope they installed a Saab filter and not an "off the shelf kind"?
Very rarely does the air filter stand in between making the car pass or fail an emission inspection and IF? the filter is that dirty? it was probably not replaced at the last 30K service, and if it wasn't replaced at last service it might be a slew of other things that hasn't been replaced.
