Battery boost for the 2008 Saab 9-7
For battery service on the 2008 Saab 9-7, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Details the shop needs
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 9-7. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Its powertrain is the 4.2L 6-cylinder with all-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Between shop visits
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Talk to a person
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.

Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
