Orio UK, the sole and exclusive distributor of Saab original parts, has appointed Bennett’s (Scotland) as a Saab approved bodyshop.

Operating from sites in Ayr, Glasgow and Edinburgh, Bennett’s already holds a number of manufacturer approvals, and now Saab is being added to its credentials.

Given their BSI kitemark approval for business processes, workmanship and overall quality, coupled with all the latest high tech tools and over 30 years technical experience, Bennett’s are an ideal bodyshop partner for Saab, said Orio.

Confirming the appointment, Corin Richards, managing director of Orio UK, said: “Bennett’s are established experts in their field, and with over 175,000 Saabs still on UK roads, and a substantial number in Scotland, we want owners to be reassured there is a highly dependable and professional place to take their Saab in the unfortunate event of an accident.

"Bennett’s take away the burden of what to do next and ensure that all Saabs are restored to fantastic condition with the use of Saab Original parts.”

Working with the Saab authorised repairer network in Scotland, Bennett’s can also access technical information and draw on the widest range of Saab parts in the UK, available for immediate delivery to enable prompt completion of any Saab accident repair.

Charlie McCombe, director at Bennett’s, added: “We are delighted to receive Saab Approved status from Orio UK and be their first accredited bodyshop in Scotland. We are committed to making this a positive change for Saab owners in the area and look forward to being able to demonstrate our professionalism in the near future.”
