Collision centre: the 2005 Saab 9-3
Need collision repair for your 2005 Saab 9-3? Tell us about the car and when suits you. 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.
What your car means for the work
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking a time
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
A rental while we work
We collect the rental when your car is ready. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
On the day
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
Looking after it afterwards
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Planning around the work
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.
How the price is set
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
When you know your dates
A person reads your request and replies with a price and a time.
