Does anyone know a place in Charleston that services Saab cars? I am thinking about buying a used Saab but not sure if I could get it serviced if needed.

Saab's are so damned expensive to get anyone to work on them, my mother used to have one and she said it was $100.00 just to get the oil changed....

I don't know if this was a local problem or more widespread, but my sister has had her Saab at the repair shop for over a month because the dealer has been unable to locate parts and she says this has been a problem before. This is a five year old vehicle, not one you would expect to be hard to find parts for.

There is some garage out on John's Island that works on all kinds of imports. Wish I could think of the name. People are always recommending it--good service and does not price gouge.

there's a shop in M P that i used to take my Saab to. Mt Pleasant imports or something. I LOVED my Saab. Great car and the $100 oil change was for every 12-15k miles.

Since Saab is no longer in business. I ask the question, Why would you buy one ?
It's not like most US built cars that have interchangeable parts. Like GM across the line or Ford/Mercury. I say Run.

Congrats on your new car purchase! Even the used ones are just too much fun.

what a nice ride!

When you're cruising this next week, look out for the red miata. We'll be coming around the horseshoe!
