Experiences with Initial 30-Day Check-up?

Took my '01 9-3 Viggen Convertible into the dealer this morning (Saturday) for its free 30-day check up after initial purchase and I've got to say "I'm not impressed" with the service. Granted it was Saturday and on the weekends at VOB SAAB/BMW/Nissan in Rockville, MD you have to take it to the Nissan service center vice SAAB, but I'm not sure what they even did except get my windows dirty! I told the guy there were 2 minor problems - an annoying ticking noise coming from the front wheel (not a stone or nail!) and when I decelerate or accelerate rapidly, there's a popping noise in the front end. The guy drove around the lot with me and said "you have good hearing.......I don't hear anything" and "these cars have clunky front ends but I don't have time to do anything today......you'll have to do it during the week." That's exactly why I scheduled the service for the weekend in the 1st place! So I wouldn't have to miss work and/or deal with traffic during the work-week.
Anyway, it was free and all, but I think it was a waste of my time considering I had to get up early on a Saturday morning and drive 20 miles to the dealer.
I don't mean to rant, but I wanted to know what other new SAAB owners' experiences have been with this "30 day check up."
