Doesn't sound great to me - both from point of view of need and of cost.
1) How could you go through a set of brake pads in 20k miles? Did you see the original pads - especially while they were still on the car? Did they really need to be replaced? (If they really did need replacing, then you had better examine and modify your braking habits.) My guess is that the dealer has found brakes to be an easy way to keep the shop busy.
2) The cost is high. This is a very easy job - you can do it yourself in under an hour and they can do it in much less time, and the parts are under $75. Sounds like it's time for you to find an independant Saab shop to do everything (including diagnostics) except warrantee work. There are a number of good ones in the Boston area, ones you can trust.
