Booking the work for the 9-5
Auto paint for your 2001 Saab 9-5? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking the work
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Stay on the road
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Planning around the work
We keep you posted if the timing changes. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.
What affects the price
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail.
Keeping it that way
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Getting the car ready
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
