I had a similar experience. Dealer would only do timing belt if the full 60k service was performed too. Called Saab, they said no, belt only can be done. Dealer finally reluctantly went along.
While you're in there have the tensioner changed. There isn't any additional labor. Part is roughly $300bucks. Can't stress this enough. Read the board. Instances of tensioners failing are cropping up, causing major engine damage.
Don't rely on the dealer to suggest replacing the tensioner either. Mine didn't and I had to pay an independent Saab guy to replace it afterwards. Fortunatly, the bearings in my tensioner gave me enough warning.
