They charged us 1.1 hour--at $94 per hour (I had not looked at their rate in while. Wow!) OTOH, Saab also included 4 new plugs with the DIC, so I figure I am way ahead here.
Consider that in the last 1.5 years I--was in for inspection 1 week before the 4 years were up and found my muffler was toast, I didn't even ask, they said it was covered; 3 weeks later they replaced a broken seatbelt latch; last June I got Saab to replace my SID outside warranty, as this was a replacement SID for the original which failed in under 2 1/2 years; and now this. So I'll live with the labor charge.
However--the bill I was first quoted was $750! Take off tax and the plugs, and that means they were charging close to $600 for the DIC at the dealer. That is quite a markup , since itseems to be available for $290, which is obviously also marked up since no one sells for free.
