If your wifes's car is a V6 then I would say you REALLY need the service. The V6 requires a new timing belt, the first belt SAAB will replace at N/C. They will try to sell you the total package, but it is NOT mandatory. If the belt is replaced you should have the tensioner and pully replaced at the same time. The tensioner and pully will cost about 300.00 + 1 hr labor. If the belt, tensioner or pully fail, you will be looking at a 3000.00-4000.00 engine repair cost. I had the timing belt, timing tensioner, timing pully and the serpintine belt/pully all replaced. SAAB footed the belt and belt labor I paid for the rest. About $600.00 Hope this helps.
