The service light came on in my Cherokee last week and I’ve been putting it off because my usual place is booked out for ages. I’m near MBZ City so I’ve been looking into the Best Jeep maintenance garage near MBZ City, but I want to know if there’s anywhere nearby that actually understands Jeeps rather than treating them like any other SUV.…

I’m about to sign with a contractor for our bathroom and I’ve realised I haven’t actually verified anything about them beyond what they told me. They said they’re licensed and insured but I wouldn’t know how to check even if I wanted to, and I’m not sure whether it’s rude to ask for proof. I’ve been looking into the …

My Range Rover has started sitting low on one corner overnight, and while it levels out when I start it, I know this isn’t normal and it’s getting worse. I came across suspensionrepairdubai.ae/range-rover-suspension-repair while looking into it, but I’d rather hear from owners who’ve dealt with this. Is it usually a leaking strut, a valve…

Just moved to Green Community from Dubai and I’m due for my A6’s major service soon. Back in Dubai I had a garage I trusted completely, the kind where the owner would call you before doing anything extra, and I’m dreading finding a replacement because you never know who’s honest until it’s too late. Someone in my building mentioned a …

Posted a while back asking about alternatives to the dealer and got a few replies, so here’s how it actually went. My X5 had been throwing a drivetrain warning on and off for weeks and the dealer wanted to replace a whole module without even properly diagnosing it, which didn’t sit right with me. Ended up going with …

So after months of going back and forth I’ve finally booked my Tiguan in for a full detail. It’s a 2020 in deep black pearl and the paint is honestly a disaster, full of swirls from the previous owner and some hard water spots on the glass that I can’t shift. What pushed me to finally do it was a colleague showing me his Passat after …

My schedule has been pretty packed lately, so taking the Maserati in for routine servicing has turned into one of those jobs I keep putting off. I’m based around Abu Dhabi and was wondering if there are any decent workshops near ICAD that can handle the usual maintenance without making me wait days just to get the car back. I came across Exotic… Read more

Had a small bump in traffic last week, nothing serious, no injuries, but my front bumper now has a crack running along one side and the clips seem to have popped out slightly so there’s a small gap where it meets the fender. The car drives perfectly fine and the sensors all still work, so it’s purely cosmetic, but I can’t stand looking at it.…

I’ve had this slow puncture on my rear tyre for about a month now. I’ve inflated it three times and each time it holds for a week or so before dropping again. Took it to a guy who just pumped it up and said it’s fine. Obviously not fine. I’m looking for Affordable tyre repair in Sharjah because I don’t want to buy a new tyre if this one can…

We have had two pickups skipped in the last month and I cannot get a straight answer from anyone about why. The waste wheelie bins are the same ones we have used for two years, nothing has changed as far as I can tell. The crew just drives past, sometimes they leave a note we cannot read, and then I am stuck with overflowing bins for another…

My 320i would not start this morning, just clicking and the lights dimming, pretty sure the battery is done. Called the dealer in Dubai and they quoted me close to 3,000 dirhams including fitting and coding, which feels insane for a battery. I know these cars need AGM and some registration thing so I do not want to just grab a cheap one from…
