If you can turn any kind of a wrench, I suggest you get your hands on the Haynes manual for the 9000 and do it yourself next time. I replaced the rotors and pads on my 87 9000S last year for about $250. My Saabtech friend was suppose to show me how to do the fronts. It is a good thing I was watching because 45 minutes later he was done. The following week I came back to the auto hobby shop and did the rears myself. It took me about 3 hours. The rotors and pads for the fronts cost me about $114 from AutoZone, and the rears were $126. If you got all four done for $600, you were very lucky.
