The 2000 Saab 9-5: Rust repair
Book rust repair for the 2000 Saab 9-5 with a short request, and rent a car while yours is in. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Your 9-5, up close
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
What to send us
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. You can add a rental to the same request. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
A car while yours is in
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
How the price is set
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
How long you are without it
Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
On the day
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. 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.
Aftercare
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
