Collision Damage Repair - Saab 9-7x Owner's Manual

Saab reserves the right to unilaterally modify, change or
discontinue Courtesy Transportation at any time and to
resolve all questions of claim eligibility pursuant to the
terms and conditions described herein at its sole
discretion.

Collision Damage Repair

If your vehicle is involved in a collision and it is
damaged, have the damage repaired by a qualified
technician using the proper equipment and quality
replacement parts. Poorly performed collision repairs
will diminish your vehicle's resale value, and safety
performance can be compromised in subsequent
collisions.
Collision Parts
Genuine Saab Collision parts are new parts made with
the same materials and construction methods as the
parts with which your vehicle was originally built.
Genuine Saab Collision parts are your best choice to
ensure that your vehicle's designed appearance,
durability and safety are preserved. The use of Genuine
Saab parts can help maintain your Saab New Vehicle
Warranty.
Recycled original equipment parts may also be used for
repair. These parts are typically removed from vehicles
that were total losses in prior crashes. In most cases,
the parts being recycled are from undamaged sections
of the vehicle. A recycled original equipment Saab
part, may be an acceptable choice to maintain your
vehicle's originally designed appearance and safety
performance, however, the history of these parts is not
known. Such parts are not covered by your Saab
New Vehicle Limited Warranty, and any related failures
are not covered by that warranty.
Aftermarket collision parts are also available. These are
made by companies other than Saab and may not have
been tested for your vehicle. As a result, these parts may
fit poorly, exhibit premature durability/corrosion problems,
and may not perform properly in subsequent collisions.
Aftermarket parts are not covered by your Saab New
Vehicle Limited Warranty, and any vehicle failure related
to such parts are not covered by that warranty.
Repair Facility
Saab also recommends that you choose a collision
repair facility that meets your needs before you ever
need collision repairs. Your Saab dealer may have a
collision repair center with Saab-trained technicians and
state of the art equipment, or be able to recommend a
collision repair center that has Saab-trained technicians
and comparable equipment.
