Auto paint for the 2003 Saab 9-3
For your 2003 Saab 9-3, paint work starts with a short request. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your 9-3, up close
As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What to send us
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. 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.
A rental meanwhile
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. 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. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
What to bring
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
Pricing, plainly
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
Keeping it that way
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
Planning around the work
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.
One more step
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
