The 1986 Saab 900: Engine repair
Searching for engine repair for the 1986 Saab 900? CarmaCars does not do this work itself; we arrange it with a trusted shop. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
About your 900
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. If you have the service history of your 900, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo. The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
How the arrangement works
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
Stay on the road
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Car care, briefly
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.
Before the shop starts
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Send a request
Start with the car, the job and your location.
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.
