I've met several Saab owners over the past 2 years that stopped me to ask about my car. When I asked where a good mechanic is, they all recommend Danny at Stephen's Foreign Car Svc.
I took my 2004 9-3 Aero in today for an oil change and to have a couple of problems checked out. Danny gave me an honest assessment of a noise I was hearing this winter that may be related to cold weather and suggested no additional repairs. He also looked at my fuel gauge problem, gave me an estimate but didn't pressure me to have the costly repair and almost seemed to be recommending against it. He gave a thorugh and honest assessment of the condition of other wearable parts... brakes were good... needs new tires in a few thousand miles (even though he doesn't sell tires)... etc.
I've never had this honest treatment from a mechanic before. Most places like to give you a menu of additional things you can have ""fixed."" My new Saab mechanic is Danny at Jim Stephen's Foreign Car Service.
Pros: Honest service. Practicle advice on service. Good price.
Cons: What are the drawbacks?
