Outrageous price for oil change and tire rotation?

So I recently moved to the Philly area and bought an '06 2.0T SC. I found an indy in the service listing on this site, and made an appointment for an oil change. They ask if I also would like them to rotate the tires, and I said sure.
Now, I understand that it's not going to cost the 20 bucks I could have paid if I went to Midas or something, but I was willing to pay extra to take it to a saab specialist. I go to pick up the car, and my bill is $125... $95 for the oil change and $30 for the tire rotation.
I asked why it was so high, and he said "oil changes are more for that type of saab". I cant understand what would make this one different from every other saab I've ever owned (my old indy in Ithaca charged around $40-50 for an oil change on my 900). And the tire rotation was just icing on the cake. They said it took 0.3hrs and at $100/hr that turns out to be $30. Shit takes 5 minutes.
Am I crazy? What am I missing here?
