Your 1998 Saab 900: the work
Your 1998 Saab 900 and paint work: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. 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. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
What happens after you ask
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Need a car meanwhile?
Add a rental to the same request as the work. A rental means the work does not stop your week. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
On the day
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. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
What goes into a quote
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
Keeping it that way
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
How long it takes
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
Your move
A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
