Engine repair for the 1987 Saab 900
Engine repair for the 1987 Saab 900: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Details the shop needs
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 900. If you have the service history of your 900, have it ready for the shop. Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 5-speed manual.
Our part and the shop's part
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A car while yours is in the shop
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Before the shop starts
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Between shop visits
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Still deciding?
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
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.
