So you caught that sentence... In some small towns like Missoula MT there isn't enough folks to have a full dealer and mechanic's shop so its split between 2 towns. The shop is Evergreen Engineering in Miss MT (406) 549-9051. They are one of the few in the nation that are independant but can service warranty items. UNFORTUNATELY they are going out of business in a few months. I do have the mechanics name if you want it. OR call them..
They have now fixed 4 different Viggens with the same exact problem. THe first Vig they fixed they ended up installing and blowing 3 complete new engines before replacing the MAF which cured the problem. By the time they blew the second they had replaced almost everything under the hood (except the MAF).
When I blew my engine I called all local dealers in Seattle and Portland and got nothing but "your out of luck" and not one was willing to initiate help... or for that matter had even heard or acknowledged the problem. I wanted someone familiar with the car first and second familiar with the problem ... and found both 2 states away. Saabs FUBAR.....
Saab needs to address the problem now while they can... there were only 15 vig blocks left at the factory in May.
