After moving to Dubai, I tried three different car repair shops in the first six months. One overcharged me for parts, another misdiagnosed a brake issue, and the third just didn’t communicate well. I almost gave up until a friend recommended a small but reputable place near Al Quoz. What made the difference? First, their staff actually listened and explained everything clearly. Second, they gave me a detailed quote with labor and parts breakdown. No surprises. They even offered a warranty on their work, which none of the previous shops did. Since then, I always check reviews, ask for certifications, and pay attention to how they treat me from the start. This article helped me organize my approach and look for the right things: – if you’re new in the city, it’s a must-read.
