Metro Motor

Saab

Saab vehicles are known for their unique design, advanced safety features, and European engineering. Whether you drive a classic Saab 900 or a 9-3 or 9-5, keeping your vehicle in top shape requires expert care. At Metro Motor, we service Saab vehicles with the precision and expertise they deserve. Here’s why Saab owners in the Washington, D.C., metro area turn to Metro Motor for their auto repair and collision repair needs.

Expert Saab repair technicians are found at Metro Motor.

Saab cars feature sophisticated turbocharged engines, innovative safety systems, and distinct Swedish engineering. Not every repair shop has the experience to handle these unique aspects, but Metro Motor does. Our ASE-certified technicians have extensive experience with European vehicles, so your Saab gets the expert care it needs.

Using the right parts is crucial for keeping your Saab in optimal condition. Although Saab production ended in 2011, we source high-quality OEM or OEM-equivalent Saab parts to ensure the longevity and reliability of your vehicle. Whether it’s a replacement turbocharger, ignition cassette, or fuel pump, we make sure your Saab gets the right components. We also offer:

  • Multiple Locations – Find a Metro Motor auto repair shop near you in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia.
  • Transparent Pricing & Estimates – No hidden fees, just honest, upfront pricing and a detailed estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
  • Complimentary Lyft Rides – Stay mobile while we work on your Saab with a complimentary Lyft ride when you drop off your vehicle.
  • Friendly & Knowledgeable Staff – Our team is ready to answer your questions and provide expert advice.

We provide complete Saab auto repair and maintenance services.

Routine maintenance is essential to keep your Saab performing at its best, especially as these vehicles age. From the Trionic-managed turbocharged four-cylinders in the 900, 9-3, and 9-5 to the V6 in later Aero models, our ASE-certified technicians use advanced diagnostic tools and OEM and manufacturer-recommended parts and fluids. Our Saab repair and maintenance services include:

  • Oil Changes & Scheduled Maintenance – We change your oil with the right synthetic oil to protect your Saab’s turbocharged engine and handle the rest of your scheduled maintenance, including the crankcase ventilation (PCV) service that helps prevent oil sludge on turbocharged Saab engines.
  • Engine Diagnostics & Repairs – Our technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to accurately diagnose and repair Saab-specific issues, from ignition cassette and spark plug failures to turbocharger, boost leak, vacuum leak, and oil leak concerns.
  • Transmission & Drivetrain Service – We service Saab automatic transmissions with the correct fluid, repair clutches on manual-transmission models, and maintain the XWD all-wheel-drive system on the models that have it.
  • Cooling System & Hoses – Age takes a toll on radiators, water pumps, thermostats, expansion tanks, and hoses. We inspect and replace worn components before they leave you stranded.
  • Brake System Services – We provide high-quality brake service, replacing pads, rotors, calipers, and brake lines and flushing brake fluid to maintain your Saab’s stopping power.
  • Suspension, Steering & Alignment – We replace worn shocks, struts, control arm bushings, and steering components and align your wheels to factory specifications for a smooth, controlled ride.
  • Electrical, Climate & Exhaust Repairs – We address common Saab electrical issues, from lighting and ignition failures to dashboard display and climate control faults, along with exhaust and catalytic converter repairs.
  • Tire Services – We mount, balance, rotate, and replace tires for safety, handling, and even wear.

Every visit includes a free Preventative Maintenance Inspection, and most mechanical and electrical repairs are backed by our 3-year/36,000-mile nationwide warranty. Already have a quote from another shop? Bring it in for a free second opinion.

Metro Motor is trusted for precise Saab collision repair, too.

If your Saab has been in an accident, trust Metro Motor’s collision repair experts to restore it to its original condition. Saab built its reputation on crash safety, and a proper collision repair has to restore that engineering, not just the appearance. Our I-CAR Gold Class® certified technicians follow manufacturer repair procedures and use OEM and quality replacement components. Our collision repair services include:

  • Structural & Frame Repairs – Using computerized measuring and laser alignment, we return your Saab’s structure to factory specifications, so its frame and body maintain their integrity and safety.
  • Bumper & Panel Replacement – We repair or replace damaged bumpers, fenders, doors, and body panels with a proper fit, restoring your Saab’s appearance and protection.
  • Factory-Matched Paint & Refinishing – Saab’s distinctive color palette demands an exact match. We use spectrophotometer color matching in a climate-controlled booth, then sand, buff, and polish until repaired panels blend seamlessly with the original finish.
  • Dent, Scratch & Rust Repair – Paintless dent repair and precise refinishing restore your Saab’s sleek, aerodynamic design, and we treat exposed metal during repairs to help keep rust from spreading.
  • Glass & Mirror Replacement – We replace damaged windshields, windows, and mirrors with OEM-quality glass, restoring clear visibility and a weathertight seal.
  • Alignment & Suspension Correction – Even a low-speed impact can bend steering and suspension parts. We inspect and replace damaged components and align your Saab to factory specifications, so it tracks straight and handles the way it should.
  • Insurance Coordination & Towing – We work directly with your insurance provider from the first estimate through the final invoice. We’ll tow your Saab to our collision center for free from your home, your office, or any Metro Motor shop, and our towing division can recover it from the site of the accident.

Every repair is completed at our collision centers in Vienna, Virginia, and the Brentwood neighborhood of Washington, D.C., and structural and bodywork repairs are backed by our lifetime guarantee. Request a collision estimate and let us return your Saab to its pre-accident condition.
