K & N Automotive

Great service and great price. Very professional and able to get all Saab parts and services done perfectly.

Honest, skilled, and reliable. That sums up my experience with K&N. I bought a used Saab anticipating that some work would need to be done.
These guys have me a clear and accurate assessment of what I needed and why (e.g. for safety, comfort, etc.), they also are very clear about what services could be considered optional.
Overall I found their skill and knowledge to be above average. I was particularly impressed with the description vs. reality of what I should expect after the repairs.
The only downside is they don’t have loaners or shuttles. However; that is pretty common for smaller shops and doesn’t change the quality of their work.

If you own a Saab, you owe it to yourself (& your car) to get familiar with K&N.
The guys at K&N have been taking care of Saabs for over 30 years. They are very knowledgable about the unique cars and their rates are very reasonable when compared to dealerships.
On more than one occasion, K&N recommended repairs to parts on my car rather than a replacement with new parts that saved me hundred of dollars. I haven’t been to a dealership in years that can actually repair a car. All they can do is replace parts until the problem goes away, which is often a very expensive fix to a problem. For example, Saab recommends the pulley be replaced when the surpentine belt is due to be changed. However, the pulley really just needs to be repacked with lube and is good to go for many more miles — which is exactly what K&N recommended.
The only negatives I can note is that the hours aren’t the most convenient — no weekend hours. Plus they don’t have any arrangements for loaner cars. I worked around that by renting a car for the day from the local branch of one of the large national rental chains nearby.
One of the sad things for me about recently selling my Saab 9 – 3 was that I would no longer have K&N to take my new car to for reliable and honest service. I highly recommend K&N to all Saab owners.

I seriously considered selling my Saab when I recently moved from Ann Arbor, because I wouldn’t have access to K&N.
Finding someone you trust is difficult, and these guys are it.
I’ve had multiple times where I’ll drop my car off expecting it to take 3 days, and it takes 1.
Super repair shop.

Best car mechanic I’ve ever used. I have a Saab 9 – 3 with over 200k miles and when it suddenly died I took it to Huron Automotive first.
They quoted me a new everything basically, totaling $ 2800. I decided to have my car towed to K&N after some research and it was the best decision I’ve ever made regarding my car. It was quickly discovered that the throttle body intake had simply disconnected. Total cost — $ 100.
The only negative is that they are very busy and short staffed currently. I dropped my car off and was told it would be 2 weeks before they could have time to look at my car but would try and at least check it sooner. Luckily, only 3 days later I received a call with the diagnosis informing me that my car would be able to be picked up that day.
I can confidently say that I will never use another repair shop for my Saab as long as K&N is in business.

If you drive a Saab, don’t bother going to your dealership, because they often don’t know what they’re talking about. Bring you car here.
We’ve had our 96 9000 in twice; once for a bad starter and once for ball joints and CV boots. Don and Kevin took care of us. It’s on the pricey side as far as shop time goes, but I can’t say enough about their knowledge or passion for quirky little Swedish cars like ours, and they do a lot of little «extras» — like when they replaced our dried out and leaky turbo hoses with new silicone ones, or when they re-​hung our gas tank because it wasn’t done properly when it was replaced, reset some gauges and status lights, so on, and so forth. These are the only ones we trust with our car, and they really do know everything.
