25.01.2022 Little laugh for the day, no offence intended. - Cheers Mrs Saab Care :)

24.01.2022 The contents of what was once our pride and joy are all up for auction today . Can not believe how cheap everything is . :( for more information click on link below . Just a reminder that Saab Care / Oldano automotive pty ltd is no longer associated with Michael Oldano . It is now in the hands of the Administrators.

23.01.2022 Dear Customers , friends and suppliers, I have been holding of posting this post, but I feel the time is right to get it up here. Company owner Mike , my super talented husband and partner in crime , was diagnosed with a aggressive Brain Cancer at the beginning of this month. He has had a large tumor successfully removed from his right temproral lobe, and is due to commence Radiotherpay and Chemotherapy next week. Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade 4 , is one nasty beast of a can...cer. Whilst we remain positive and focussed in fighting this thing, it will be a tough battle. SAAB CARE is still business as usual with thanks to Billy, who is doing such a remarkable job. We thank all those who have donated their time to help keep the door opens. So now I ask for all your help. We have been blessed to have the "Rally Family" get behind our family and provide a Raffle, all proceeds going towards Mike and the battle he has ahead of him. I ask that you share this link below, buy a sticker, or raffle ticket and spread the word. This will Help make his journey alot easier. There is a facebook page set up, where you can follow his progress. I will upload it next. Please feel free to pop in and leave him a message of support. Special thanks to everyone for their ongoing love best wishes and support. Much love Caz, Mike and family

22.01.2022 OH my lord..... Can you image that... Customer "there is a purring noise coming from my car!"

22.01.2022 Registered until September 2015, RWC immaculate .... Is this your future car?

22.01.2022 A common factory failure we often come across is a crack in the firewall . Models effected are usually 900s and 9-3's upto 2003 . So how will this effect your car ? If unattended the steering mount can break away from the firewall - in short you will have no steering! This is the worst we have ever seen .

22.01.2022 Are you going away over the Easter Break? Do not forget to do safety check on your car. Saab Care offer FREE safety checks , when you book in for a service. Phone 07 3394 1411

21.01.2022 My goodness this is impressive, hope no one was injured!

20.01.2022 Interesting read....

19.01.2022 With special thanks to AJS GYM At Algester , and the beautiful Andrea Kruck and family. We would like to invite you all to a special Father's Day relay marathon . What to do .... Grab your team of 8 people and register , all the details are on the picture below . Just another way to get behind Mike and help him kick cancers butt. #relayformike

19.01.2022 Never say never. Mike is most impressed as will be the customer . He just saved her large amounts of money. It all comes down to bush mechanics at it's finest. So here is where we start . The dog ate the customers remote . This immobilised the vehicle and without the remote working , the complete immobiliser unit would have to be replaced . So by pulling the remote apart , soldering wires where the battery cradle use to be and bridging the switch contacts with a screwdriver , mike was able to hold the batteries in his hand and make the transmitter work only once, which is all it needed. Now with access to the immobiliser system it was an easy job to program a replacement remote and send the customer on her way . Saved her at least $500 #happycustomer #brilliantmechanic

18.01.2022 It is with much regret that I am now selling some of our cars . First car for offer is "Saabrina" My beloved little Saab 2003 9-5 Linear estate , only ever serviced by SAAB CARE , the benefit of being married to a brilliant mechanic and owner of SAAB CARE is that this car has been kept immaculate .

Beautiful back Leather interior , tinted windows , electric seats , electric windows , electric mirrors , cruise control , seat heaters , automatic , Turbo , A/C , ABS , reverse sensors , roof racks , Cup holders front and rear , plus more , this car has it all. no expense spared . Great car for hwy cruising she just glides . If your after an affordable car , with all luxury comforts , then she won't disappoint . RWC Location : Algester , Queensland .

17.01.2022 Does anyone remember this advertisement?

17.01.2022 Mike (left) and Billy (right) are the heart and soul behind SAAB CARE. I just want to take this opportunity to thank Bill . While Mike is dealing with kicking cancers butt, Bill is keeping Saab care running. It is tough for him , he is one man down , and not once has he complained . The work continues to flow in the door thanks to our loyal customers . SAAB CARE is up on the market , FOR SALE , simply because Mike and myself need to focus on Mikes health. He was diagnosed... with Glioblastoma Multiforme IV an aggressive brain cancer. It is such a regretful sale , but right now we would sooner smell the roses , than deal with the day to day runnings of successful business . All enquires of those interested in purchasing Saab Care , can be emailed to [email protected] Billy we are so thankful to have such a motivated and dedicated team member, but more importantly a great mate. Thank you Bill.

10.01.2022 So sad to see this happening. As mike has been diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer . I ask for your help by sharing this page. This here is our family business. Mike invested so much time into this business , starting here as an apprentice over 2o years ago. To see her up for sale just breaks my heart. This is his passion.

10.01.2022 NOTIFICATION OF BUSINESS CLOSURE. With much regret Saab Care will close its doors and cease trading as of Friday 23rd October 2015. ALL CUSTOMER bookings will be notified by telephone tomorrow with an alternative ... Repair shop recommended for your repairs . SUPPLIERS please forward all invoices to our accounts department at [email protected] Given Company directors Mikes recent diagnosis with Brain cancer , the focus is on his health . We just do not have the time to continue to advertise the sale of our business . Mike and I are absolutely shattered by the closure of our much loved family business. Knowing how much Mike put into this to walk away with nothing just breaks my heart . I know money does not buy happiness , it would have been nice for mike to have been rewarded for all that hard work. On behalf of my family and the team at Saab Care , we would like to thank all those people who have fought so hard to help keep the doors open. I apologise to our customers , for the inconvenience this will cause you. As much as the tears flow today , we have great memories to look back on . My focus now is on my beautiful husband Mike and his continued fight to stay in this beautiful world . Much love and thanks . Caz.
