When Jenny learned to drive, her father said if you are going to drive them then you need to know how to fix them. She spent the summer between high school and college working on cars and handling the books for her father’s business. Jenny loves the car business and is actively involved in the Baltimore community that has supported the growth of Saab of Baltimore.”

It is no surprise that this dealership with the combined 300-years of experience of knowledeageable and Saab enthusiastic staff on board, could or should be designated as one of the premier Saab dealerships in the United States, if not the world.

Here is their press release below.
