The work on your 9-5
Your 2002 Saab 9-5 needs collision repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. 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
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking a time
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
A rental meanwhile
A rental means the work does not stop your week. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
How long you are without it
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.
A few things first
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Keeping it that way
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
What affects the price
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
Next step
When you are ready, a short request books the work.
