Your 1997 Saab 900: the work
Your 1997 Saab 900 needs rust repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
What happens after you ask
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
A rental meanwhile
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Add a rental to the same request as the work. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
How the price is set
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
What to bring
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
How long it takes
If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
Keeping it that way
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
