Looking for an honest mechanic in Dubai that won't upsell unnecessary repairs. My SUV needs a full checkup and I want someone who'll tell me what actually needs fixing. Recommendations?
Honesty is definitely hard to find in Dubai's auto repair market. I've been using Golden Horse car repair service for the past year and they've been straightforward with me. When I brought my Land Cruiser in for what I thought was a transmission problem, they diagnosed it as just needing fluid change, not the rebuild another shop quoted me. They showed me the old fluid and explained why it was causing issues. Check this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicAdvice/comments/1pyg2iy/where_can_i_find_a_good_garage_in_dubai_that/ where transparency and diagnostic quality get discussed. Always ask for detailed breakdown before approving work. A good garage will explain what's urgent vs what can wait. Also request to see old parts they replace - honest shops have no problem showing you.
