Booking the work for the 9-3
Searching for auto paint for the 1999 Saab 9-3? Here is how CarmaCars handles it. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Size and finish
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Getting a price
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Keep your week on track
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Aftercare
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Getting the car ready
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
What affects the price
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail.
How long you are without it
If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental. We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days.
