Of Course take your car where ever you feel comfortable.
But... My experience with quick lube and tire franchises over the years has not been good. Many low pay minimum mechanics who tend to strip and cross thread nuts and bolts. Stick to a shop that has the experience and tools to deal with your SAAB. They will have seen more problems particular to SAABs and have the right tools.
Most recently, I went to a tire shop and purchased 4 new Michelins for the 99 93. The tire (Tech), said so on his shirt, cross threaded one right front lug with an air gun which was torqued up for speed.
The results: The right front hub and bearing had to be removed/replaced,
pressed off at the SAAB Dealer.
Cost: $470.. A repair I didn't need and eventually recouped but an unhappy process.
P.S I should have ran when he approached my car. He was wearing red pants. Apparently he had just come from his other job at MCDonalds.
