Booking the work for the 900
Here is how we handle paint work for the 1985 Saab 900: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your 900, up close
As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a price
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. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
A rental while we work
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. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
What to bring
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Timing
We keep you posted if the timing changes. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
How the price is set
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person.
Aftercare
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Want a price?
Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
