More about Rod Beckner SAAB


You are on the website of OregonPhotos. I have owned several Saabs, and the material below is my appreciation to the dedicated independent Saab mechanics of the Willamette Valley. Scott Nelson and Rod Beckner are the two main Saab mechanics that I have used. Some other independent Oregon SAAB mechanics are Rick Wolf, John Collins, and Jack Ashcraft and his son Mark. Here you can Skip To a Listing of Saab shops in Oregon that I have heard good things about. This includes a recommended shop for routine oil and filter changes if you're in the Portland area.

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). In terms of good sources for those wonderful used Saabs, I've purchased one of my used Saabs from Freeman Motor Company, a dealer in Portland specializing in fine used European vehicle-- Rod Beckner tells me that a rather large percentage of the Saabs he works on have Freeman somewhere in their pasts! More about Scott Nelson is below:

"If your car was an airplane, would YOU fly in it?"

That was Scott in 2010. He's so quotable sometimes. He isn't just alluding to the beginnings of SAAB-SCANIA as a jet airplane building company! It's about YOU sinking dollars into the maintainance of your vehicle... Scott, owner of IgoSaab, says, "No Saab too old for us to help!" A sizeable inventory of used Saab parts is available, please email for current availability and prices-- please 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! More recentlhy, at the beginning of 2010, I saw that Scott's got TWO Saab 9000 "Project Cars" that he's rebuilding so he and his son can race them in a big rally-type event down in California!
