Be careful  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

Nice people, one very good mechanic, but at the same time often overbooked and very expensive. In my case, a cursory test of a simple clutch problem will cost me a new transmission. The problem is they sometimes don't have enough mechanics for all the work.

PROS: Friendly, knowledgable
CONS: Expensive, not well managed

Saab repair shop review  5 Star Rating - World class

I own a old school Saab 900 and have been to most shops in the Bay area. I have finally found a doctor for my Saab that I completley trust and does great work. I see one of the cons as high cost but I have yet to find a Saab repair shop that is cheap. Anyways, I'm very happy with Planet Saab at this point and hope the service stays the same.

PROS: Great customer service
CONS: Location in a tight alley way

Be Careful  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

I use to say this place was great but will now give it the thumbs down. Terribly managed and over-priced. The last few times I've taken my car here the work was not completed and there was no follow up on several items and I got charged a boatload. Avoid. Try Dale's Auto in SF which is less expensive and they also specialize in Saabs.

PROS:
CONS: High prices, poorly managed, chaotic

Excellent Customer Service 5 Star Rating - World class

I own a 2000 saab 9-5 aero sedan and I have always taken it to planet saab. Everytime I leave the shop I am always satisfied with the great work the guys put into my vehicle. They always keep me updated with all the services and maintenance that needs to be done to keep my vehicle well maintained. I must admit that at the end of the day I wouldnt choose any other shop to service my vehicle that offers good customer service like planet saab does.

best saab service 5 Star Rating - World class

I have an 01' 9.3 that i really love, I have it service at regularly at Planet Saab. Its good to know that there is such a thing as Saab Specialists. I feel that they see so many of these vehicles that it minimizes the chance of a fault in there repairs. Lets be real you dont go see an optometrist for a problem you might be having with your arm right? You need a specialist. Over all these guys are great to me and my car. Highly recommend them

Pros: Great customer service,Knowledgeable staff,Friendly peaople

Not Recommended 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

This place is no good. I have a 900S 1992 Saab which I dearly love. It only has 118k miles on it and I do everything I can to keep her running. Every time I've taken it here I don't get real explanations of what is wrong with it, there is no follow-up when I am waiting for parts i.e. blinkner lights etc. to come in, and the original pricing I get quoted is not what it ends up costing. The last time I took it here they were supposed to fix the fact that the right and left blinkers didn't work at all - they charged me over $100 and I drove away and they STILL were not working. It was completely annoying - and the worst part was that they didn't care when I called to tell them this! They couldn't have cared less that I had taken a day away from the office to have them fix the problem - and it wasn't fixed at all. I really don't like this place for a lot of reasons. Take your car elsewhere, think this place is for the birds - didn't even mention that it's way over-priced.

Pros: none
Cons: high prices, unfriendly people, unreliable repairs
