The 2003 Saab 9-5: Collision centre
Your 2003 Saab 9-5 and collision repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. 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
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What happens after you ask
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
A car while yours is in
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
Before you drop the car off
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
How long you are without it
We keep you posted if the timing changes. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.
Why prices differ
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
