Towing for the 1998 Saab 900
Your 1998 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.
Your car, your notes
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 900. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
What to send us
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. 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. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We collect the rental when your car is back. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Car care, briefly
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Make a request
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
