Engine repair: how we help
Engine repair for the 1997 Saab 9000: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Before the shop sees your 9000
If you have the service history of your 9000, have it ready for the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 9000. The powertrain to know here is the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive.
What we arrange
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A rental while you wait
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Car care, briefly
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
When you know your dates
Ask, 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.
