Back when Saabs were first coming to the US, Saab reps went out looking for small car dealers and repair shops that had good reputations. Then they'd cut a deal to sign them up as dealers. That's how Gary Blake Saab in Exeter, NH got started. Now he's the only indy Saab store in NH and only one of two Saab dealers in a state where Saabs are common.
IMHO, Saab needs to do something similar today, but also work with selected indies to provide authorized service. This is done in some parts of Europe and provides service when there are no dealers nearby.
