I recently suffered a bout of TCS disease. Dealer's solution was wholesale replacement of components. Estimated cost was in the area of $3500. Took the car to an independent (authorized) service shop. Part that was replaced cost $70, labor was 1.5 hours at $59/hr vs. dealer labor charge of $85/hr. They also wanted to charge me for an SRS sensor that was replaced during the recall work free of charge.
Doesn't seem to me that this dealer is at all interested in developing relationships with Saab owners in this area. They only recently got the Saab franchise, and my current mission is to warn all Saab owners in New York City to avoid these guys like the plague.
I think they're weasels.
