Any one know of a good Saab mechanic in the Triangle?

Swedish Imports on 15/501 is great. Their service is excellent and they are cheaper than going to David O'Neill. I doubt I would ever go back to David O'Neill after dealing with them.

There are some other places that work on them, but I've never been to any of them. I know there is a Euro car place on Durant that usually has some Saabs sitting outside and there is a place on Hillsboro St. that has a Saab logo on their building.

What model car and what type of work do you need?

Hey, can somebody do something with all these VW drivers, or are we stuck with them? VW this, VW that, blah blah blah...

Yeah no lie, we are almost as bad as the Subaru guys, or even worse the legions of Miata-ites :lol:

1. I wondered how long it would take to get around to the Miata bashing. Check the latest TT results and cry!

2. I had Saabs for almost 20 years, until the new 9-5 and GM changed my mind. I can't remember his name (Bill Pearson?) at Import Car Center on Durant Rd., but I can confidently recommend him. He was always open and honest with me, and can actually repair things, not just replace parts. When he was doing work for me (> 5 years ago), he didn't have computer diagnostic equipment, so he might or might not be able to do what you need, but if you need real old-fashioned wrenching, he's the guy. Very interesting personality - probably late 50's by now, long ponytail, and a knowledgable literary critic.
