I am 1,500 miles away from my 60K service and last night my belt flew off. I called the dealer this morning and he said the average cost of replacing the belt is $300. I asked what does he mean by average. He broke it down into 30 minutes of diagnoses, 30 installation and 130 for the belt itself. He did warn me that most of the time the belt doesn't just fail the idler or one of the other power equipment pullys freeze up and shred the belt so we could be looking even higher.
I decided against taking it to the dealer and I am going with a $80 dollar tow to a know decent SAAB shop in Crystal Lake, IL. He said it will cost about $120 as long as nothing else caused the failure. If this guy does a good job I'll have him to my 60K maintenance in two months instead of the dealer. This would save me about $300.
