The 1985 Saab 900: Towing
Your 1985 Saab 900 needs a tow? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Details the shop needs
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
Your rental while you wait
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Car care, briefly
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Next step
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
