Well, I'd suggest going to the dealership for the oil change, but if not possible, maybe a good independent mechanic? If all else fails and you have to go to quickie team, make them use name brand oil or whatever you've been using (I use Mobil 1 synthetic), check the oil level yourself after they are finished to make sure its right, tell them to take it easy on the drain plug (use six sided socket, not too much torque or it can strip the pan threads and then you've got big problems (ie $$). You can bring in your own oil and filter if you've been using the Saab oil/filter. They also try to sell you air filters for about triple the actual cost, fuel injector cleaners, etc...take a pass on all that crap.
FWIW, unless its a long trip you are going on right away or something like that, I'd wait an extra week or whatever to get an appointment at the dealership or a good mechanic. Quickie lubes scare me. You've got a nice car. Don't trust a flunkie with it. Good luck.
