You must use an awfully slow mechanic. I ordererd my parts from Eeuroparts.com, just under $300 for OEM Saab pulleys and a Continental belt. My favorite local indy Saab specialist charged me $200 to install the parts and do an alignment, so I figure it was around 2.5 hours labor to just do the belt. Which feels appropriate as it took me about 3hrs to do the waterpump myself having not done one before. Pretty much the same labor as the belt. I was just too chicken to do the belt myself this time. So somewhere around $500+- is a fair price for this. My local $tealership wanted $1200 for this job too - crazy! They also get $1200 to do the rest of the 60K service, NOT including the belt.... Even more crazy.
