Having taken and followed the recommendation of others on this board about an independent near Baltimore (API in Elkridge, MD) and been very satisfied, I wanted to share with others my discovery of a new independent in Falls Church, VA - "Swedish Motor Cars, Inc". SMC is the joint venture of two Saab master mechanics with something like 35 years combined experience between them who got tired of the dealer treadmill and decided to start their own business. I recently took my 91 9000-T to them with several tricky electrical/mechanical problems. They have all been resolved to my satisfaction, and from what I can tell, in a cost effective way. SMC will use original Saab parts, OEM parts superior to Saab and/or good used parts as appropriate after discussion with the customer. From what I could see the work performed was done professionally with a lot of pride of ownership in the doing. Good luck to Rich and John at SMC.
