Your 1996 Saab 900: the work
Paint touch up for the 1996 Saab 900: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
About your 900
As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Your request
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Stay on the road
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Getting the car ready
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
When the car is ready
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. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
After the work
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
Still deciding?
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
