Start from what your car is doing
You do not need to know the part. Pick the symptom and we explain the usual causes, then find the real one at the free inspection.
Find your car's page, 69 brands
Type your brand or filter by where it comes from. Each brand page covers the faults we see on that make in Dubai, the models we work on and how we price the jobs.
We do not have a page for that brand yet, but we probably still repair it. Ask us on WhatsApp.
Brands marked EV are fully electric makers. Many other brands also sell hybrid and electric models, and we work on those too.
What Dubai does to your car
Heat, dust, traffic and sun wear a car differently from the conditions most manufacturers plan for. These are the jobs that follow, and the pages that explain them.
Summer above 45°C
Batteries, AC compressors and cooling systems work hardest in July and August.
Filters that clog fast
Fine dust blocks air and cabin filters and finds its way into brakes and joints.
Stop and go every day
Slow traffic is hard on brakes, gearboxes and engines that never reach full temperature.
Paint and cabins that fade
Strong sun fades paint, cracks dashboards and dries out leather seats.
No surprises on the bill
Most people worry less about the repair than about the bill. So we work in the open, and nothing is done without your yes.
- We find the cause first. A free inspection, a road test and a full scan before we talk about parts.
- You get it in writing. A quote with parts and labour line by line, sent to your phone.
- You choose the parts. We explain genuine, OEM-equivalent and aftermarket options where they exist, and the price of each.
- You see the proof. Photos of what we find, and the old parts shown when the job is done.
- We tell you when it is not for us. If a job should be free at the dealer under warranty or a recall, we say so first.

Questions answered
Where we are, what we work on, prices and how quotes work.
Ask on WhatsAppWhere is your workshop?
Our workshop is in Al Quoz, Dubai. Message us on WhatsApp or call +971 50 608 7150 and we will send you the location. Directions, landmarks and opening hours are on our Al Quoz garage page.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. We inspect the car, find the cause and send you a written quote. You decide whether to go ahead.
How much does a car service cost in Dubai?
As a planning budget, a minor service is usually AED 350 to 900 and a major service AED 900 to 2,500, including 5% VAT. The exact price depends on your car, its oil and what is due, and your written quote confirms it.
How long does a service take?
As a general guide, a minor service takes about 1 to 2 hours and a major service about 3 to 5 hours once work starts and the parts are ready. Repairs or parts orders can make it longer.
Which cars do you repair?
We work on German, British, American, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and electric cars, from everyday models to luxury and performance cars. Use the brand finder on this page to find yours.
Do you repair electric and hybrid cars?
Yes, for tyres, brakes, alignment, suspension, AC, the 12V battery and bodywork. High voltage battery and software work usually belongs with the maker, and we tell you when that is the case.
Will servicing with you affect my dealer warranty?
It depends on your warranty booklet. Some makers require servicing at their own centres during the warranty. We check with you first, and if a job should be free at the dealer, we tell you.
What if my car cannot be driven?
Tell us where the car is and we arrange recovery to the workshop.
How do I get a price?
Send the make, model, year, mileage and the problem on WhatsApp. For most jobs we give a written quote after the free inspection, with parts and labour listed line by line.
