Auto paint: your 9-5
Book paint work for the 2008 Saab 9-5, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Size and finish
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What to send us
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
Stay on the road
Add a rental to the same request as the work. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Aftercare
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Before you drop the car off
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Pricing, plainly
Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
When the car is ready
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
Still deciding?
Ready when you are: send the details of the car.
