Problems with transmission

Help! I recently purchased a '96 9000 [114K mi]. The vehicle was in superb condition. I now know that I did something very stupid; I took it to a national chain [and I guess untill this is settled it will remain nameless]to have the oil changed and to change the spark plugs. I asked if they know how to work on SAABS and they said yes--Big mistake. A problem is that, as I read in other postings, that there really isn't a SAAB precense in Houston and the only dealer in town is way too far. This national chain offered a fuel system treatment and I agreed to have it done.
I left the car with them to grab a quick bite, and when I came back they were finishing up. My wife and I noticed a constant flow of transmission fluid [this was more than just a simple leak]. I comfronted the manager and he tried to tell me the vehicle was like that before. I know that's impossible because I keep my garage very clean and I also park in a garage at work and I would have noticed. The manager said it was the seal and that those things happen. I asked, "how can you be so sure, you didn't even work on the vehicle?" He said "it is impossible for us to cause that kind of damage, we didn't even touch the transmission." I sent a letter to this company's corporate office and they said they are not at fault. The question is--is it true that it's impossible to cause the transmission to leak that way while servicing the vehicle? Please advice. Thanks. For Houstonians: Any mechanics you might recommend here?
