burned up a belt and idler pulley and my shop!!!

So I burned up a belt and idler pulley this weekend and decided to have the local shop install new ones as I did not have time to deal with it this week. I just got a look at the parts cost and it was $130 for the belt and $79 for the pulley. Granted they are “genuine Saab” parts as apposed to what I normally use but I find this totally out of line! Does anyone know what the dealer SHOULD be charging for these parts, I mean on eeuro they are both less than $30 each(granted not “genuine Saab” but equivalent.) on top of that they charged me 1.25 hours for the labor, I mean if they are taking their time to do it right I understand but I have done this job in about ½ hour on my last Saab 900!
Any thoughts would be great but I think it may be a little too late to protest the charges. Anyone know where I can get “genuine Saab” parts cheaper so I can drop them on their counter and say I want a refund (only half kidding!)
thanks,
d
