The 2001 Saab 9-3: Auto paint
For paint work on the 2001 Saab 9-3, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
About your 9-3
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
The request
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Ask anything about the work in the request. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Keep driving meanwhile
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Pricing, plainly
Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person.
Aftercare
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
Timing
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
On the day
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
Send a request
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.

Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
