Mechanic: how we help
Need mechanical repairs or maintenance for your 2000 Saab 9-5? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Regular maintenance keeps small problems from turning into large ones.
About your 9-5
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your 9-5, have it ready for the shop. Under the hood: the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive.
How the arrangement works
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. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
Your rental while you wait
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Between shop visits
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
Before the shop starts
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Want a price?
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
Request mechanic
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.
