Trying to decide between dealer and independent for gearbox diagnostics

My Aventador has been throwing an intermittent gearbox warning for about a month now, always clears itself, always comes back. I've been avoiding dealing with it because I know the dealer will want the car for days and charge me for the privilege of telling me they couldn't replicate the issue. But ...

Anyone know if this Sharjah Porsche page is worth a call?

My Cayenne has been throwing an air suspension fault on and off for about three weeks now, always in the morning, always disappears by the time I reach the office. It's the kind of thing that's impossible to show anyone because it fixes itself, and I've already had one garage tell me they can't find...

Learned my lesson about cheap brake pads, sharing my experience

I used to just go to the cheapest place I could find for brake pads and ended up with squealing and poor stopping power after only a few months. Last time I decided to do it properly and found a Trusted brake pad replacement in Dubai through a coworker's recommendation. The difference is honestly ni...

Skipped the inspection on my Cadillac and regretted it

Bought a used Cadillac CTS a couple years ago without getting it checked because the seller seemed honest and the car drove fine. Big mistake. Within months the suspension started acting up and a mechanic pointed out previous accident damage that was never disclosed. I ended up spending way more tha...

Kitchen remodel stalled because my plumber didn't get the cabinet plan

We're about three weeks into a kitchen and guest bath update and I'm already pulling my hair out. The plumber I hired came highly recommended for general repairs but it turns out he doesn't do much remodel work and it shows. He roughed in the sink drain without checking the cabinet layout we approve...

Dealer quoted me a fortune for major service, is that normal or am I being ripped off?

My 2017 430i is about to hit 100k km and I know it's due for a major service, probably spark plugs, all the filters, brake fluid, maybe transmission fluid too. I called the dealer just to get a ballpark and they quoted me something close to 4500 dirhams which honestly felt like a punch in the gut. I...

Installer quality vs film brand, what actually matters more?

I've been going back and forth with a couple of shops and noticed something odd. One place quoted me way less but when I asked what film they use they got weirdly vague about it. Another shop charges more but was upfront about everything and even showed me samples of different films. I started readi...

Vibration at idle getting worse, could it be the engine mounts?

My 2015 Grand Cherokee has developed this vibration that you feel through the steering wheel and the floor when the car is sitting at idle, and it's been slowly getting worse over the past couple months. It smooths out once I'm moving so at first I ignored it, but now my passengers have started comm...

Anyone know a decent VW garage in ICAD that won't rip me off?

So my Golf has been making this weird rattling noise from the front suspension whenever I go over speed bumps, which is basically every five minutes in my neighborhood. I took it to a general garage in Mussafah and they told me I needed to replace the whole control arm assembly for like 2500 dirhams...

Finally getting my storage room sorted after years of chaos

I've been putting this off for way too long but I'm finally tackling the disaster zone that is my back storage room at the shop. We've got boxes of inventory piled on top of each other, random equipment just sitting on the floor, and it's honestly embarrassing when clients come in and see the mess t...
