I own a 1984 900 S hatchback, so I'm not sure about dealers. But as for mechanics, about the best in the Providence area is Conn-Tech Automotive Inc. in Warwick. Their ph. number is (401) 738-3665. The head mechanic used to work at Wigwam, a Saab dealer in North Providence. Actually the dealer where my car was originally purchased. I have also used East Side Auto Body in North Providence. I know them through my local service station (same owner). They have a good Saab mechanic who replaced my clutch for about $480 and it has worked almost perfectly for two years. Just needed one (free) minor adjustment. They have also done other small repairs. And, oh yeah, lest we forget: Rhode Island is a great state for taking joy rides in your Saab! In fact, so is all of New England, home of the most Saabs per capita in the USA! ;) -jw
