Al Riskalla, his crew and parts organization are the best friends your Saab 

ever had. Prompt service, a commitment to getting it right, and rides to nearby 

destinations or MBTA stops are hallmarks of this friendly and helpful outfit.   

Jim Maloof and the gang over at the parts store (617) 776-2978, make the 

operation more efficient than many dealerships, and are a great resource for 

the do-it-yourselfer.

ABJ has done an outstanding job keeping my 1990 Saab 900S running like a 

charm. Al, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and his 

prices are very reasonable. I recommend him highly.

Submitted by M. Grenier

These guys are great.  They have been servicing 2 of my 900's for the last

five years.  They are a mostly Saab shop and are very knowledgeable on these

cars.  They do good work and always stand behind their work.

Submitted by Jeff Epstein

I would also like to give a strong recommendation for ABJ.  Al   (the owner) is very knowledgeable and has a staff of very good mechanics.  They are very reasonably priced and were always very prompt and professional.  I would also recommend them for working with diesel engines, I had very good experiences with them working on my 1998 Jetta TDI.  Two thumbs up for Al and the ABJ crew.

Both myself and a co-worker own Saab 93's. On different 

occasions we have had work done here. The service is great and Mike the 

mechanic is really experienced with Saabs. He goes out of his way to 

accommodate his customers. I highly recommend you service your Saabs 

here. I have a CPO vehicle so warranty issues go to the dealer. For 

everything else, I go here and nowhere else.

road. They were pleasant and repair the problem quickly.

Their labor rate is 44 per hour . Thanks Bob and his cute dog BAAS ..

Submitted by Kathy McDonald

We just bought a convertible Saab. We were somewhat nervous because we have

never had a Saab. We were somewhat relieved to find a "Master Mechanic" in

our back yard. Bob; the owner of the establishment is polite, courteous and

extremely knowledgeable about Saabs. I would recommend him to anyone who even

remotely thinks about buying a foreign car, let alone a Saab.

When nobody else could figure out what was wrong with my 1991 SAAB 900S,

Patric did. Patric Rooney (ASE Master Tech., SAAB Master Tech.) is

knowledgeable, honest and pleasant to work with. He has worked on my car on

several occasions and I'd bring it to him every time... if only he were a

located little closer to where I live. I'll continue going to him any time

major work is needed. It's definitely worth the trip and peace of mind.

Submitted by Jeff Lucas

Patrick Rooney (ASE Master Technician/17 years Saab experience) is one of

the most honest and competent Saab mechanics that I've encountered. I

recommend him highly. He's keeping my 91 9000CS running like at top for a

fraction of what the dealer would cost.

Submitted by A. Wolfrey

Since I moved to MA in '99, Patric has been taking excellent care of my '94

Aero and '86 900S. He's an extremely good technician, with very fair

pricing. He's a very nice guy too! He frequently has a loaner car available

if you schedule an appointment with enough notice. This is a great shop.

John has been servicing all models of Saabs for over 35 years. I

have never met a more competant, honest and diligent mechanic in my life.

His commitment to his clientele is un-matched by any independent or Saab

dealership. Your vehicle is repaired the first time at a fair price. His

father Clarence owned one of the original Saab dealerships in the USA

(Import Motors) and John continues his fathers legacy. You will not be

disapointed! BTW, I have owned at least 25 Saabs from 99gle, 99Turbo, to

my current 1992 Saab 900 Turbo.

I have a "fleet" of four Saab 900 classic: 2 for my boys in college, one 

for my wife and the sleek shiny SPG for me. JG Service has been maintaining 

these cars for some time and I must say this is the best shop in the area. 

Very thorough and conscientious, great attention to detail, all at very 

reasonable prices. Call John, he also has a good stock of used Saab parts.

Trust me, this shop is not much to look at, But the work is far superior

than most. I have been dealing with Lenny (proprietor) for years, thru 3

SAABs of my own, my mothers Volvo and countless folks I have sent to him

(especially after hearing their horror stories)I have never had nor heard a

complaint and trust me, to bring your mother to a shop, you better trust

them! Anyway this shop specializes in SAAB and Volvo, good prices,

knowledgeable mechanics, and diagnostic skills. Never have I had to bring my

car back for the same problem.

Just had my 87 900 Turbo over and what a great place. Bart does great work 

and had some great advise. Fair price and fast. Feel comfortable if your 

local or just visiting on the Cape having Quantum working on your Saab.

Submitted by Greg Shopshire

Bart at Quantum has been servicing my '97 900S since '99 the 

car always returns from his shop better than when it went in. They only 

work on Saabs and Hondas. They have been very fair in regards to all 

repairs on our car. I'll continue to bring our '97 to him and our '02 

9-3 to him for any non-warranty work without hesitation.

Submitted by George Sykes

Quantum Mechanics has been specializing in Saab & Honda 

vehicles since 1980. The owner Bart and myself are Saab nuts who have 

been fortunate enough to make a living working on the cars we love. We 

have evolved from the days of 99's & 96's to the classic & new 900's and 

on to the 9-3 & 9-5's. 

Quantum Mechanics is an independent Saab shop that opened in 

1980. The owner Bart Guiney and his staff (that's me!)have been 

fortunate to work on the cars that we love while serving the Saab 

community on Cape Cod for 25 years. So if you're vacationing on the Cape 

and need our services, or have a Saab question or just want to check us 

out, stop by & say hello.

…And he has turned that SPG into a Viggen. When I drove my new 2000 Viggen on to his lot he came out with a tape measure to get the actual placement of the Viggen emblem. His car his beautiful but he won't sell it to me. He also does excellent work above and beyond my list of "fix its". He will fix the SID during lunch rather than replace it.

Brothers Doug and Phil now run their father's garage.  They are honest and

knowledgeable.  They have a loaner Vol*o which you can reserve. Prices are

fair and work is done quickly.  They close at 5:00 but I normally paid with

credit card during the day and they'd leave the keys for me.  NEVER had a

billing dispute. Not open on weekends. Specialize in Swede mobiles and

German. Sidenote: Bought my wife’s car from them a 93 Vol*o and inherited

unknown electrical gremlins.(Not apparent before purchase). Doug stood by

that car and finally solved the problem (replaced ALL computers) He lost

his shirt on that car but gained a customer for life. Wife crashed it a few

months later, hehe. Tell them you heard it from me.

Neil Cerrina is the mechanic and owner of the shop. He is unbelievable

when it comes to SAAB's. His knowledge and expertise rises above the rest.

Because he knows the car so well, his labor cost is less due to the less

time it takes him to fix things. I would recommend him to anyone.

Submitted by Jeffrey Stewart

I must agree!! Neil Cerrina is an outstanding SAAB Tech, as well as honest

and fair. I brought my wife's 93 9000CS to him for some cooling system work.

He talked me out of some unnecessary part replacements, and saved me a

bundle. A dealership would have taken my money an ran! As long as I live in

the area, Yankee Garage is where my SAAB will be serviced.
