Your 900 and collision repair
Book collision repair for the 1998 Saab 900, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. 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.
Your 900, up close
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
What to send us
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
A rental while we work
Add a rental to the same request as the work. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
A few things first
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
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.
How long you are without it
If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
How the price is set
A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
When you know your dates
Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
Request collision centre
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
