Your 1997 Saab 900: the work
CarmaCars takes requests for paint work on the 1997 Saab 900, and rents you a car while yours is in. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Getting a price
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Keep your week on track
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Timing
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. A clear timeline comes with every quote.
After the work
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
A few things first
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
What goes into a quote
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. We price the job before we start, never after.
One more step
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
Request auto paint
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
