That's why I neglected to go to someplace like Midas. Like I said, I understand the value of going to a saab indy (I have been for years), even for "minor" things like oil changes. I just didn't expect it to be that much more. I figured it would be maybe 60 bucks for the oil change and 10 bucks to rotate the tires. I paid almost twice that. Does it really take 20 minutes (0.3 hrs noted on the invoice) to rotate the tires? What is it about my 9-3 that is so different from my c900, in terms of an oil change?
If it's not that he's absorbantly overpriced (since you say you'd charge the same), it must be something about the car itself, right?
Thanks for the response. I was a little upset before, but if you say that's what you'd charge then I'm OK with it. Just trying to understand what underlies the increase in cost.
