Saab specialist in Aberdeen.

I've asked about this in the Saab forum but thought I should ask here as well, hope you don't mind.

Basically I'm looking for a independent garage who can service a 9-5 aero, rather than go to the main dealer.

I seem to remember someone on uksaabs mentioning somewhere in Insch, but I can't remember the name of the garage.

Would appreciate any recommendations.

Insch, that would be JD motors!

When I had my 9-5 Aero, I got it serviced at Car Clinic and a country garage in out the back of Drumoak. There's nothing particularly special about the Aero, IMHO.

Theres nothing particularily special about the 95 Aero. Ive got a 95 Aero HOT and will be putting it into car clinic for a service, good customer care and is quite reasonably priced.

Sorry for the very late reply.

Thank you for the suggestions, I'm aware there is nothing mechanically special about an Aero, to be honest it was one of the reasons for buying it.

However as each make of car has it's quirks I was hoping there would be someone who was more experienced with Saabs other than just the main dealer. Surprising, as there seems to be specialists in a lot of other makes that I would also consider to be fairly straight forward to work on.

I may even just start doing the servicing myself, the way second hand car prices are going it will soon be worth next to nothing anyway.

My brother-in-law Dave and good mate John at JD Motors in Insch are the boys, If there are any quirks with it they will know or will find out for you. Give them a ring on 01464 821151 Trevor

Got the car serviced by JD Motors this week.

Very pleased with the work done, excellent service.

So thank you for the tip, and I'd be happy to recommend them to others.
