The work on your 9-3
For the 2001 Saab 9-3, collision repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request.
Size and finish
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a price
You can add a rental to the same request. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Keep your week on track
We collect the rental when your car is ready. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Keeping it that way
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
A few things first
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
How the price is set
The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. We price the job before we start, never after. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
How long you are without it
If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
