Your 1989 Saab 9000: the work
For scratch repair on the 1989 Saab 9000, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. 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.
Your 9000, up close
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. As a large sedan, it is a straightforward size for this work. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a price
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Need a car meanwhile?
Add a rental to the same request as the work. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
What goes into a quote
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
Keeping it that way
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.
What to bring
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
When the car is ready
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
