You're right to be suspicious. Common sense tells you that all these parts aren't going to fail at the same time. What the dealer wants is basically to replace everything that could be faulty, not that is faulty, because he doesn't want to spend the time diagnosing the real problem, which costs him unbillable time.
Are there any other symptoms of head gasket failure such as white smoke out the exhaust? If there aren't, then don't mess with it.
Can't help with the referral, as I live in California.
I've had very good luck taking my '97 CSE to the mechanic on the corner--not a Saab specialist but an intelligent, honest guy. That's what counts, isn't it? Good luck.
