Saab Service

Hi All

Just wondered if anyone knew where a I can get a good but cheap Service done for a 2005 Saab 9-3 Vector Sport?

Have heard kwik fit advertise something but not sure it applies to my car

Thanks

Ring local garages and get quotes ?

What engine does it have? If it's the 1.9 CDTi then ring and ask Vauxhall dealers.

Wherever you go, DON'T got to quick fit. Find a proper garage.

Or Fiat/Alfa dealers too...

Do a Google search for Saab specialists in your area. These guys usually have Saab trained technicians but are not pretty in appearance and subsequently have much cheaper labour rates.

As is said in one of the posts above, gone are the days when Saabs were unique. The new 9-3 is pretty much a Vectra with a different shell. Only the Petrol Turbo engines are Saab derived.

Kwik-Fit WILL NOT use the necessary fully-synthetic oil for the Petrol Turbo engine. Use a specialist, best of both worlds. People that know about the car but don't charge the earth.

Below are some reputable Saab specialists I have used previously:

West Midlands Saab Specialist - www.wmss.co.uk - 0121 270 1295
The Saab Centre, Milton Keynes - 01908 505587
Simply Saab - www.simply-saab.com - 0117 9406121

Hope the info helps.

Not used them personally but give them a call.

I've asked them for a price and they emailed me asking the mileage so I relplied but received nothing back
