The 2006 Saab 9-3: Engine repair
Your 2006 Saab 9-3 needs engine work? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your 9-3 and the shop
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. If you have the service history of your 9-3, have it ready for the shop. Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 5-speed manual.
Our part and the shop's part
You approve the shop's quote before any work. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Talking to the shop
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Car care, briefly
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Let us know
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
Request engine repair
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.
