When should Saab 9-3 spark plugs be replaced?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.

What should I do if I see leaks under my 9-3?

Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Saab 9-3. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.

Are hard starts and stops bad for my Saab 9-3 engine?

Hard starts and stops put extra wear and tear on engine components. Smooth, gradual starts and stops, on the other hand, are a great way to help your engine run better. They can also help maximize your fuel economy.

Saab 9-3 Engine Tune-Up Services

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Saab 9-3 engine tune-up services. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option.

The second service focuses on your 9-3's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. Our third service is a thorough cleaning of the fuel system.

Restored fuel system performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your 9-3: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best.
