Scrolling through the older posts came across this one. The company name was spelt wrong, it is Motorvation Saab Specialists. I am Chris and am the owner. To fill in some details we have been maintaining Saabs for 25 years next year. The 99s were still new in the showrooms then !!! We keep a fairly low profile and haven't ever really advertised much, relying rather on personal recommendations and keeping our customers for years and years. We are fully equipped with the latest Saab diagnostics which are updated every few weeks as Saab bring out upgrades. We use genuine parts and service cars from new, take care of warranty work and provide free loan cars.
We are located just off the A21 three minutes from the North Farm Industrial Estate. Following this post I welcome comments from any of our customers who may read this.
Our address is

Hi,

You can't take Chris's word for it. He is the owner.
As a customer let me say one thing: Fabulous. I carried a problem for almost a month with a faulty headlight for which I was quoted from £20 plus fitting by Neo Bros to £160 by the dealer who said that may not even be the problem. I called Motorvation and Chris told me to bring the car in, emailed me directions and gave an idea of what the problem is and what options there were.

When I got to the garage Mike his mechanic spent 20-30 mins diagnosing the problem and soldering the fuse that caused the problem. So I am thinking £20-£40 bill (based on what I'd been told by Neo Bros and the main dealers)...
Chris asked for £5 and it appeared like he was embarrassed to even take my money!

I have booked my service with them since and still go back. Mind you they won't offer you coffee, so bring your flask. Jokes apart, these guys are just fabulous.

Same here, I recently serviced my 9-5 Aero there. It was supposed to be a 102k service (quoted at £250), but they discovered breather valve mod not being done despite long main dealer service history and hoses already in bad condition. All in all the mod had to be done + cleaning slug from the oil sump. All for a fair £650. I got a free courtesy car too.
So far they made me a happy customer and I'm recommending the place!
