The 1981 Saab 900: Battery boost
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For battery service on the 1981 Saab 900, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
Before the shop sees your 900
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. If you have the service history of your 900, have it ready for the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.
From request to repair
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
A rental while you wait
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
What to ask
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Small things that help
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
One more step
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
Request battery boost
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.
