It may be doing that but if you can save the paint you may avoid the dreaded picture album on PFC.

 

Greg at airways tire is where we all go from the frat house in midtown. He 's very honest and won't fix things that don't need fixing.

 

+1 Been going to Airways Tire for years- Honest, helpful, professional.

 

Here's another +1 for G-Man on Democrat.
Hooked me up big time: fixed my car while I waited (unable to be left outside); offered a used part off a car he had out back; super fair price.
Would've been better than 3x the price at a dealership.

 

I have had good xperiences with G-Man on Democrat. I used Power's Auto in Horn Lake recently and they were Great!

 

Now that you know where to get it fixed, I have a 99 Saab 9-3 that needs power steering and tires. Otherwise in good shape and the air blows cold. PM me if you are interested in purchasing!

 

Mike Cox Automotive just off Stateline in Southaven has been great. Good guys, good work, fair prices. One of the part owners is a PRO so tell Mike your with FedEx.

 

If you are a commuter, it means you either have to wait while the car is repaired or leave it and get someone to give you a ride - twice. Waiting is rarely an option but if so, you have a lot of suggestions. I prefer to leave it just before a trip. Faulks will give you a ride back to FedEx and later they'll leave it in the front lot near the guard gate of the AOC building. I've used Faulks way too many times. They charge a fair price and the work gets done on time.

 

Not to diss the Saab that CC is offering, but Don't Never Get No Saab in the Southland. Don't get me wrong, they are great cars, but not in the South. I know from experience, having been stupid enough to have purchased a 900S a number of years ago from a Memphis dealer. After waiting for almost 2 months for them to rebuild the transmission, when the car was finally ready and we were reviewing the bill, I mentioned that I thought it was a bit excessive to charge me a FedEx fee of $50 to have overnighted one part. I mean after all, they had the freakin' thing for two months. We fought over that for a while. A year or so later, the fuel distributor started acting up. Talked to the dealer and was told a new one was over $800, and that they didn't re-manufacture them. I found a foreign parts dealer who sold me one for about $175, but during that time, the fuel distributor caused the car to run too rich and the catalytic converter under the car got so hot it melted the wiring bundle, which ran under the drivers seat. Chatty and I spent two whole days rewiring the fricking thing, and then adding some asbestos sheeting under the wiring. We installed the "new" fuel thingy, and all was right with the world. I kept that car in Memphis for almost 15 years, and there were times that I'd not even see it for 6 or 8 months at a crack. I had installed a 12 volt solar cell, which I had bought from a sailing supply shop, directly to the ignition switch, and so the car never didn't start. All in all, it became a reliable car, but again, I'd not buy one if I lived or kept it in the South, because they really don't do a good job at Saab (at least back then), and I never found any independent shops whom I trusted. Now if you live in Vermont or New Hampshire, they're fantastic, with about one Saab for every three other makes running around up there. If it were me, I'd get an American car or a rice rocket, because everyone knows how to work on them.

I agree with JJ that Saab parts are very expensive. I purchased this one in Connecticut and drove it in the NE for a number of years before bringing it to Memphis.
