Rust repair for the 1998 Saab 900
Here is how we handle rust repair for the 1998 Saab 900: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Your request
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Keep your week on track
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Add a rental to the same request as the work. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Why prices differ
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. We price the job before we start, never after. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
Getting the car ready
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
Aftercare
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.
How long it takes
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
