Philomath, OregonOregonPhotos has owned several Saabs, and the material below is my appreciation to the dedicated independent Saab mechanics of the Willamette Valley.
I've been blessed with custom Saab Care at reasonable rates by Saab Specialists. The two that I have used the most are Scott Nelson and Rod Beckner (for more on Rod, and on the culture and ethic of Saab ownership, click here; this will also take you to information about John Collins, a specialist in older Saabs). More about Scott is below:
Scott, owner of IgoSaab, says, "No Saab too old or too new for us to help!" A sizeable inventory of used Saab parts is available, please email for current availability and prices, but be aware that most used parts would be on a pick-up basis, or with Scott installing them for you. Scott's friendly services include Saab mechanical work; great prices on both new and used Saab parts; and complete Saab bodywork and paint by a shop that knows Saabs and their special needs. ....With Scott, there is always lots of friendly Saab advice that is part of the package, and Scott will entertain nearly any Saab customizing project you may have in mind for your Saab! Scott adds, "... remember, Classic Saab owners, If you're looking for otherwise unavailable parts for a major project on your old classic Saab, even pre-1970, we can probably help." (this applies particularly to folks who live close enough to Corvallis, Oregon to pick up parts in person--- please be aware that in general Scott is not in the business of mail-order shipping of used parts)
When I met Scott several years ago he was driving a 96 red Aero, and his son drove a hot-rodded 85 900 Turbo. Many of his customers have more than one Saab in their family!
