Saab got 4 wheel disc but the fronts do 80% of the work and wear...which is why you see cars with dirty front wheels but not dirty rears.
Make sure goofy Saab FRONT E-brake is all the way off. You should be able to manually roll the car easily on the flat if you can't jack up the front wheels.
Lots of shops will do "free brake inspection" but a lot of those will also try a scare/con job on each and every customer. I'd rather pay an honest $40 for an honest opinion.
Might not be bad time to kill 2 birds and have pads replaced. No need to turn rotors IMO on 90% of brake jobs.
Does car track straight if you stomp on brakes? Is dust pretty even on both fronts? Is front dust about 80-90% of rear dust level?
Typically, one of the two pads on each disc will wear noticeably faster. Normal on all cars.
