For rock bottom prices but good results, try Pham's in Arlington for general repairs. For AC and radiator repairs, I go to one of the little mom/pop places off Eisenhower close to the metro (been going there for years). I think it's A&L Radiator. Never had a problem and the prices are great. I've referred friends to A&L too.
Pham's has done nice work for a very reasonable price compared to Swedish Motor cars and the Saab dealership in Fairfax but you have to check and make sure they get everything hooked up correctly when they're done. They left one of the small hoses disconnected from the radiator after I had a new rad put in. Pham's is close to the metro so you can drop your car off in the morning and pick it up in the afternoon on your way home from work.
For the big jobs, I've used the more expensive places (mentioned above) and paid through the nose. Worth it? Not sure but the repairs have held for a couple of years now. There's another big saab place in Herndon that offers a big discount for new customers. No direct experience but other Saab owners have spoken highly of them.
For the smaller stuff, including axle repairs, I've been doing everything myself.
