Collision center: the 2003 Saab 9-3
Book collision repair for the 2003 Saab 9-3 with a short request, and rent a car while yours is in. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work.
The car itself
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Your request
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. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
A rental while we work
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
What goes into a quote
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
Planning around the work
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. We keep you posted if the timing changes.
Getting the car ready
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
After the work
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
Over to you
Book the work and a rental in one request.
