Its a very friendly, professional outfit that guarantees its work for the life of the car. They have worked on a lot of SAABs. OEM parts, paint blending and flex additive for the bumper. All in all it is going to cost about $4300 (ouch). New cars sure are expensive to repair (nothing happened to the other early 80's car which I hit from behind; big steel bumper on that sucker). Decided to submit a claim and get ready for the premium hike.
