Nope, Not my dealer, they use generic ACDelco parts and never use good oil (dyno all the way), In fact they only use Saab parts if that is the only source. oh, and they ruined my oil plug too, looks like they used vice grips on it.
Of course they still charge the full Saab retail price for parts.
Their quoted price for my 90K service, $850 (can) that’s with no air filter, and not doing oil (I'll Mobil 1 myself thanks)
A close Swedish Indy shop I got a quote from was $450 (can) That’s a heck of a deal. And I'd bet I have a batter chance of getting Saab parts there.
Of course I’ve decided to do the whole thing myself so I can get a good idea of how the car is doing. And I'm going to flush the tranny and convert to the 2003 tranny oil. And see about going to 6's for my plugs too. Should cost me about $200.
