Saabtech Welwyn used to be Saabtech in Stevenage. When the old main dealer in Welwyn, Squire Furneaux, decided to sell up, Saabtech moved down the road into their premises. They, like others, are broadening their range and have opened Saabtech Mini on the adjacent site. Sadly Saabtech seem to have become more “corporate” recently and the new service manager keeps the customers away from the mechanics working on the cars. Not as informal as before, and didn’t deal with a post repair problem to my satisfaction. My complaint didn’t get an apology, just standard email replies from an admin person.
The parts department is run as a separate company by a former employee of Reading Saab, they have quite a few bargains on their eBay shop.
My local former Saab main dealer Viking Saab, is just down the road. They were taken over by a local garage group, Spire, and became a Seat dealer. There is a sign around the side saying “Spire Saab” and they are an approved Saab agent. But I don’t go there any more. Too many mistakes, and all the Saab men seem to have left.
