My dealer in Miami charges $40 for non-warranty oil changes. Sometimes, they will send out a coupon to do the work for $25. They realize that the competition is Jiffy Lube, etc. who charge around that figure.
They also use the SAAB recommended synth or semi-syth oil. Jiffy Lube charges extra for that.
I guess they are gambling that you may need to have some other non-warranty stuff done where they can make a decent mark-up. For example. I always get my tires rotated at oil change time, so they make an additional $12 or so. Still cheaper than any BMW, Merc. or Audi dealer.
$120 is highway robbery and that dealer is being very short-sighted. If I had to pay that kind of $$$ for routine stuff like oil changes, I doubt that I would consider that brand of car again.
Use a good independant mechanic or find someone else who would appreciate your business.
Good luck,
