Question about Oil changes/maintenance from a new owner

Hello everyone, I bought a 2001 Saab 9-3 from Carmax about 4 months ago, and have driven it for 4,000 miles (it is at about 35,000 now). The "Time for Service" notice has started to appear on the computer display, and I went to the local dealer (Hunt Valley Saab in Baltimore County), but was dismayed to find that the 35,000 mile maintenance was $550!
So, just to assuage my peace of mind, I figured at the very least, I should get an oil change (I know that it's only recommended for every 10,000 miles, but I also know that it can only help the life of the car if you do it every 4-5,000). So, long story short, I went to Jiffy Lube and had their signature service done with synthetic oil.
My question is: Have I made a horrible mistake taking it to Jiffy Lube? Can the inexperienced techs there possibly foul up my saab?
Thanks for your time,
Mike
