Servicing a Saab

DH's car needs a service and he's not prepared to pay the exorbitant prices Hurst's charged him when it was still within it's warranty period.

Does anyone know of mechanics who can service Saab cars in the Lisburn/Greater Belfast area.

    Is the warranty not invalidated if it isn't dealer serviced?

    It's just out of the warranty by 4 months so we can go anywhere - thank goodness. It was over £500 when he got it serviced in Hurst's :eek:

    NO! There was no need to use the Hurst network even in the warranty period

    As long as genuine parts are used and the work carried out by a qualified vat registered mechanic the warranty is still valid

    By the way some Saab models have Vauxhall Vectra mechanicals
