Arranging the work for the 9-3
Need a tow for your 2000 Saab 9-3? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Details the shop needs
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive.
What to send us
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
A car while yours is in the shop
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Between shop visits
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Talking to the shop
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Next step
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
Request towing
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
