They'll change the fluids and look over the ignition. Brakes and what-not would also be checked. Check the water and oil levels and tyre pressure whenever you can and just get on with enjoying the car. If you want to spend a little time "listening" to your car and doing a little preventative maintenance, then by all means do so. I don't think any problems you are having a peculiar to SAABs ... Most cars over about 5 years start to feel a little tired; 10 years and they need a little TLC :) Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
