Dave White has been taking care of my cars for years. Always, always fair

and reasonable. Knows 900s inside and out. He helped me get going from his

cell phone for an hour, no charge!! His customers come from San Diego and

the Bay Area.

My father bestowed his beautiful (albeit high mileage) Saab 900 unto me for

my 16th birthday. I, of course, have driven it like a teenager. Somehow the

car still runs and is extremely reliable, thanks to Dave White's great work

at Saabs Unlimited. The Ignition Coil went bad on the car, so it would not

move for more than about 1/2 mile without stalling, if it started at all.

Dave helped me diagnose the problem, and sent me the parts and walked my

through fixing it myself. I was charged for parts and shipping. Better that

than having a mechanic tell you to "bring 'er in." I live 70 miles away

from Saabs Unlimited in South Lake Tahoe, and the car will only be worked

on by that shop. Every Saab driver deserves a man like Dave to keep their

car in tip-top shape.

Dave White has been my Saab mechanic for OVER 11 years. I've driven a 1986

900 Turbo for most of that time. And, I credit Dave with helping me get

that car to a QUARTER OF A MILLION MILES before I sold it. Dave is the best

Saab mechanic in the Reno-Tahoe area and probably well beyond that reach. I

went through SEVERAL mechanics who did me wrong before I found DAVE. He

lives these cars and drives one too. An honest Saab mechanic who has always

doen right by me.

I can only agree with the previous submissions. Whole heartedly at that. Just

to give you all an idea as to how long I've been a satisfied customer of

Dave’s services, please read on. It goes back to 1977 when I first considered

acquiring a Saab. Living in Lake Tahoe a neighbor was driving a Wagonback

Saab that basically got me interested. He eventually suggested to talk to Dave

about Saab's in general. At the time Dave was working out of one bay at his

dad's 76UNION Station at the South Shore of Tahoe. Ultimately, I ordered a new

'78 Saab Turbo from a dealer in Reno. This was a new model on the market, a

hot one at that. Great car as many probably know, along with a few infant

problems in the first couple of years. Well, the dealer took care of that. As

time went on I consulted with Dave more and more about minor problems etc. and

always felt that he really was into these cars and understood what it takes

to service them, unlike the dealer in Reno. Needless to say I became a loyal

customer. Over the years Dave was the only one that touched any of the Saab's

that I have owned. His advise always helped me make the right decisions in

getting or selling a Saab until this day. At one point he called me to let me

know that he had an '85 SPG that a customer wanted to trade-in for a new

Eagle Talon and that I should look at. I bought that Saab two days later and

still drive it today(as a third car) with 257,000 miles on it in 2001! One

other car of our's is a 9000 Turbo that Dave serviced and looked after

also. To really emphasize on his exceptional care and know-how, let me mention

this: I've been living in Las Vegas now since 1993 and have actually driven

both cars on several different occasions up to Reno (that's a 7hr. drive and

a 1hr.flight back), just to correct items and look after things that local

Saab mechanics or the dealer couldn’t get right or wanted to charge me an arm

and a leg for. This, along with countless advise over the phone, has helped me

to keep my cars in good shape over the years. Do I recommend Dave as you next

mechanic? Don't even hesitate to call him! He is the one to see.
