These are written from the jobs the workshop actually does, with the prices we actually charge. Where the honest answer is "you can do this yourself", the guide says so — a customer who understands the work is a cheaper customer to serve than one who does not.

Prices, not price ranges

Every cost guide quotes the figure this workshop charges, VAT included, and says what moves it. A guide that gives a range wide enough to be always right is a guide that told you nothing.

Written for Dubai conditions

Heat, sand and stop-start traffic change every wear interval in the manufacturer's book. Guidance written for a temperate climate is optimistic here by a wide margin, and these guides say by how much rather than repeating the schedule.

What we will talk you out of

Several of these guides end with "this is not worth paying for yet" or "the cheaper fault is more likely, rule it out first". That is deliberate. The alternative — a page whose every road leads to a booking — is a sales brochure, and nobody trusts a brochure enough to act on it.

The five questions, for every service

  • What does it cost, and what should a complete quote contain
  • What are the signs, and what else causes the same symptom
  • How long does it take, at the car and in the workshop
  • Can I do it myself, honestly, and what is the Dubai catch
  • What is it, what does the job include, how do I know it was done right

Questions we get asked

Are these guides selling something?

They are written by a workshop, so read them with that in mind. What we can offer instead of a disclaimer is that where the answer is 'do it yourself' or 'wait', the guide says so, and the prices quoted are the ones on our own invoices.

How current are the prices?

They come from the same catalogue the booking pages use, so a price change updates the guides at the same moment it updates the service pages. There is no second list to go stale.
