Man, everyone is paying so much for this service.
I live in an area with one SAAB dealer within 400 miles and two SAAB independent mechanics.
The SAAB dealer wanted $500 for the 30k service on my 9-3, and I needed new front brake pads (he said I needed rotors too, which I questioned and helped me decide NOT to use the SAAB dealer, as this is absurb and he wanted $450 for the front brake job.)
Found a repuptable local independent SAAB mechanic, did my front brakes and RESURFACED all four on my rotors, as well as performing the 30k services for a grand total of $282. The real work on the 30k service was oil, coolant, cleaning the air element (not replacing, and it is very dusty here) checking/cleaning (not replacing the plugs, they are $$$ and 30k is too early to replace these plugs) and few good look over the car to check for warranty/wear items.
Regarding the brake pads, the mechanic showed me the pads, stated they are good pads with kevlar, and also showed me a GM stamp on the back of the pad. GM uses these pads in the Impala SS and charges about $30 for them. For SAAB, the mounting clip is replaced, and the pads costs $90. Kind of a rip off in my opinion, and I dislike the increasing use of GM/Saturn content in this car.
