Can Saabs get engine sludge?

Yes, regular oil changes really ARE important! If you’re driving around with old motor oil, the broken-down fluid (and resulting debris) isn’t protecting your engine parts. In fact, it may even be causing slow damage to your Saab 9-5’s engine! Routine oil changes may seem like an insignificant maintenance task, but trust us – your future self will thank you.

Is Saab's recommended maintenance really that important?

Yes! Saab has written a maintenance schedule for your 9-5. Since they made your vehicle, they know it well! Your manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule gives you solid guidelines for the frequency of specific services, and it can help you know when to replace certain parts before they cause secondary issues in your car.

What should I tell the technician when I bring my Saab to the shop?

Listen to your car (and your gut!). As the person who drives your vehicle day in and day out, you know it best! When you notice something that feels different while driving or just feels “off” to you, trust your gut! Often, small issues can be easily fixed if they’re caught early. But, letting even minor issues linger can spell real trouble for your car down the road. Don’t wait to get a repair service for your Saab 9-5.

You and your 9-5 won’t be going anywhere if you can’t start your car. Can’t get your Saab 9-5 engine to turn over? We can find the issue and take care of it. We’ll start with a thorough check of your battery, alternator, and starter to figure out where the root of your 9-5’s electrical problem lies.

"The engine is the lifeblood of America. It’s what moves this country, what built this country.” That’s how one of our lead technicians, Alex, thinks of engines. And frankly, we couldn’t agree more.

Saab 9-5 Radiator Repair Service

What does a radiator do, anyway? It helps regulate engine temperature. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, your engine can easily break down as a result of overheating. Radiator repair is essential for long-term engine health, and Saab’s maintenance guidelines recommend that you replace the coolant in your 2003 Saab 9-5 at regular intervals. Not sure what signs could indicate a faulty radiator? An abnormally high engine temperature, low coolant light on your dashboard, or coolant leaks below your car could all signify that you need radiator repair.
