Arranging the work for the 9000
Car diagnostics for your 1996 Saab 9000: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Your 9000 and the shop
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.3L 4-cylinder. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 9000. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Under the hood: the 2.3L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive.
The steps
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
What to ask
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Small things that help
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
