The work on your 9-3
For the 2000 Saab 9-3, scratch repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
Your 9-3, up close
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking the work
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Keep driving meanwhile
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Before you drop the car off
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
After the work
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
How the price is set
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
How long you are without it
We keep you posted if the timing changes. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
