    I used to get my car serviced in FM Autos, but they are now closed.

    Any recommendations? Or would I be as well going up the country?

    It is a 2010 diesel.

    Is fm autos closed for good? That was there a v long time. Probably the last Saab specialist in Cork that I am aware of.

    Henderson's down on the Marina, down by Dineen's Crash Repairs, are decent to deal with and like to work on cars that other places might consider a bit obscure. They don't mind you bringing your own service items either (say if you had a preference for a certain brand of air filter or something or a certain oil you'd like them to use).

    Lewis Mellis in Fermoy is good as well. Not a SAAB specialist but he has a real interest in anything that's a bit different.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Regarding "any mechanic can look after it": one place (not mentioned here) said they will be able to service it no bother but they have found them a little difficult in the past, and if issues arise they cannot guarantee that they will be the best option for me.

    I wouldn't bother with that place in the future then - the 9-3 was a lovely car but shared a lot of underpinnings with the Insignia, it's not like you're bringing them in an old 900-series and asking them to rebuild it!

    In these cases, and you obviously want what's best for the car and have an interest in it, get to know a decent mechanic so you know what's going on and they'll go the extra mile for you.

    Yeah that's the place. Was there a long time.
