Your 2005 Saab 9-3: the work
For the 2005 Saab 9-3, scratch repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
The car itself
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a price
You can add a rental to the same request. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
Need a car meanwhile?
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Keeping it that way
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
Before you drop the car off
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Timing
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
What affects the price
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
