Arranging the work for the 900
For a winter tire change on the 1981 Saab 900, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. Tires are swapped, balanced and checked for wear, and the shop sets its own price and time.
Your 900 and the shop
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
The steps
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Before the shop starts
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Small things that help
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
