Scratch repair: the 2002 Saab 9-3
For the 2002 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
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. 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
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. You can add a rental to the same request. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
How long it takes
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
A few things first
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
After the work
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.
Why prices differ
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.
When you know your dates
