The 2002 Saab 9-5: Scratch repair
This page covers scratch repair for the 2002 Saab 9-5, and a rental while the car is with us. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
Size and finish
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. 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 confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Keep your week on track
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. A rental means the work does not stop your week. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
A few things first
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Planning around the work
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. We keep you posted if the timing changes.
How the price is set
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
Keeping it that way
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
