Greetings Saab-ies!
You have reached the home of Swedish Motorcar
Service, Spokane, Washington, owned by John Lippis. (We also
serve customers from Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Western Washington.
Saab owners from the Missoula area also find us closer than the dealer in
Billings.
We're
an Independent Repair Shop specializing in Saab, and proud to service one
of the finest automobiles in the world. Saabs perform well in
all weather conditions, and offer a spirited, high performance drive while
getting excellent gas mileage.
The
most important reason for owning a Saab is Safety for the Family,
however. Saab's are designed to protect people first and foremost in
all kinds of accidents: Head On - Rear End - Rollovers - Side Impacts and
even Large-animal collisions. In over 38 years of working on Saab,
we have seen scores of accidents involving Saabs, but have known of no
fatalities and few, if any major injuries. Saabs are designed
by the Swedish company, Saab-Scania, now owned by GM Imports (General
Motors of Europe).
Many
of our customers have kept their Saabs in the family for over 20 years, passing
them onto their teenage drivers for safety's sake. This kind of service
life is only possible with the best of Preventive
Maintenance.
If
you intend on keeping your Saab long term, please read our latest Flyer
Welcome
to Swedish Motors for important differences between our preventive
maintenance, and that of Saab's warranty & prepaid maintenance, or any
other service offered by automotive repair facilities.

Company Profile... Swedish Motorcar Service
was founded by John Lippis and his oldest sons, Dan and Mike Lippis, in
1991. John has been servicing Saabs exclusively for over 40 years.
We
specialize in full Saab Care,
not simply repair and servicing. Our Maintenance Program is far beyond
Saab factory specs and is modeled after the component maintenance programs used
in aviation maintenance. Our 5000 mile Oil & Inspection Service is
used as the basis for periodic inspections, and our advanced computer tracking
system (nothing like it in the industry) is used to monitor the service life of
the many components found on each individual model of Saab. All work done
on your Saab will either be done by John or Brad, experienced Technicians.
We have no "lube" or lesser trained personnel working on your
Saab. Please note that any of our articles,
past and present, may have information, opinions and specs. that have changed
without notice due to new information we have learned, but not reflected this in
our past articles. If any question, write us.
