Is there a SAAB mechanic near Vilamoura

Dear members,
Hello, my name is Robert. I am from NZ.
I would like to ask if anybody knows of a SAAB mechanic near Vilamoura?
I have a SAAB 9.5 2003 (petrol).
We will be visiting PORTUGAL from April of this year. I would like to do some maintenance work in PORTUGAL. This will be my first time in PORTUGAL. Thank you.
Regards
Robert

Hi Robert
Assistance for Saab in the Algarve is sort of lacking. The official representative is currently a Mercedes-Benz dealership that purchased the Saab workshop after it closed when Saab went bankrupt. Their website is

I live in Loulé which is 10 min away from Vilamoura, if you need any help, just let me know, I’m always happy to help a fellow Saaber.

Dear Rui Henriques,
Thank you for the reply, I appreciate that.
I have discovered that there are not many SAAB mechanics around in general. Not many in France on the Atlantic coast side. This has meant that I must read up on planned maintenance and known problems for my SAAB and then replace parts before they fail. Maintenance is critical with my car now. I buy my parts from SKANDIX in Germany and then request that the SAAB mechanic fit them. But it also means that I need to know where a SAAB mechanic is before I travel into a new area. So that was the reason for my question.
My SAAB is an absolute pleasure to drive.
Thanks and regards
Robert

I’m not sure if there they are able to fit your own parts, since they are an official workshop, and that’s not a very common practice here in PORTUGAL. I usually get the parts for my Saab from the web and have my mechanic fit them, but it’s not a Saab specialist. Maybe if you go towards the Lisbon area, there are more Saab workshops. What kind of maintenance are you looking at doing? I have some contacts at StarSul, maybe I can arrange something out.
