Towing: how we help
For a tow on the 2009 Saab 9-3, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Details the shop needs
If you have the service history of your 9-3, have it ready for the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive.
How we help
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. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
A car while yours is in the shop
We collect the rental when your car is back. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Car care, briefly
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
