Arranging the work for the 9000
Your 1987 Saab 9000 needs an emissions test? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
About your 9000
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 9000. The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo does the work, through a 5-speed manual.
The steps
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Keep moving meanwhile
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Small things that help
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
What to ask
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
When you know your dates
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
Request emissions test
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
