Your 2011 Saab 9-3: the work
Book scratch repair for the 2011 Saab 9-3 with a short request, and rent a car while yours is in. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
The car itself
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Keep driving meanwhile
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. We collect the rental when your car is ready. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
What goes into a quote
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
Planning around the work
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.
Aftercare
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
Before you drop the car off
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. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Talk to a person
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
