SCNA Members: do shops honor 10% discount? (long)

I've become an SCNA member, and I was happy to see that a benefit of membership is a 10% discount on parts and labor at participating Saab dealers and independent repair shops.
The independent shop in my area (T-Scandia motors in Tigard, OR) does NOT honor this discount. Disappointing.
My local Saab dealer (Kuni Saab-Cadillac in Beaverton, OR) does honor the discount. But they are NOT KNOWLEDGABLE about repairing Saabs (see my post on the NG900 BB titled "Update: Oil Pressure Lamp Inoperative". Since acquiring the Saab franchaise from another local, longtime Saab dealer one year ago, they have not proven themselves very knowledgable about my NG900.
Interestingly, I got quotes from both shops to have my (rear) muffler replaced with the Saab OEM muffler. The quote from the dealership was $30 less to start, plus they gave me the discount. So the independent shop isn't any cheaper... but maybe the independent shop would've actually known how to repair the oil pressure switch/lamp problem.
I'm interested to hear whether most of your independent shops honor the discount....
