      Anyone know a good transmission specialist around ICAD?

      I’ve just started a new job out in the Industrial City of Abu Dhabi and I’m absolutely loving the reduced commute compared to my old place in Dubai, but the downside is I don’t know the area at all when it comes to garages and workshops. My 2018 A5 has just ticked over 75,000 kms and I’m pretty certain the gearbox oil has never been…

      Looking for an honest workshop for my Chevy near Khalifa City

      Looking for an honest workshop for my Chevy near Khalifa City that won’t cost a fortune.


      I’ve just moved to a new place in Khalifa City and I’m starting from scratch with all my regular contacts, including finding a decent garage that I can trust with my Chevrolet. I’ve been driving around for a few weeks now and I’m starting to notice a few…

      Does the brand of battery actually matter or is it all the same?

      I’m about to replace the battery in my SUV and I’ve been looking at different options, but honestly I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the choices out there. I’ve seen prices ranging from really cheap to surprisingly expensive, and I’m not sure if the expensive ones are actually worth the extra money or if I’m just paying for a brand name. I’ve… Read more

      My BMW transmission failed and the dealer quote made me sick – indie saved me

      So my 2017 530i started having really harsh downshifts, especially in sport mode. Took it to the dealership and they said the whole mechatronic unit needs replacement – quoted me 18k. I almost cried. A friend told me to try an independent that focuses on BMW repair Dubai instead of the dealer. I found a shop that specializes in German cars and…

      The shop that refused my money because I bought the wrong oil – saved my engine

      So I thought I was being smart. I bought what I thought was the right transmission oil online for my 2018 SQ5 and took it to a shop to do the change. The owner came out, looked at the bottle, and said “I can’t put this in your car.” I was annoyed at first thinking he just wanted to sell me his own oil. But then he spent ten minutes explaining…

      Transmission slipping between 2nd and 3rd – rebuild or replace?

      My 2013 Nissan Altima with the CVT transmission has started acting up. When I accelerate gently, it feels like it’s slipping or hesitating between what feels like 2nd and 3rd gear even though I know CVTs don’t have actual gears. The RPMs will flare up without the car speeding up. No check engine light yet but I can tell something is wrong. I…

      Intermittent stalling and warning lights – need a reliable Jeep fault finder in Abu Dhabi

      I’m at my wit’s end with my 2017 Grand Cherokee – every few weeks it’ll randomly stall at a traffic light or throw a bunch of warning lights (ABS, traction control, check engine) all at once, then drive fine for days. I’ve already replaced the battery and…

      Slight pull to the right after a curb hit – chassis damage possible?

      Last month I accidentally hit a high curb with my 2016 340i, and ever since the car pulls slightly to the right even after a full alignment. The shop said everything is in spec, but it still doesn’t feel right. I’m worried the impact might have tweaked the subframe or a control arm mounting point. I don’t want to just keep throwing alignments… Read more

      Anyone know a reliable place for a 200Ah battery in Dubai?

      I’ve been searching around for a deep cycle battery to run some backup gear at my workshop, and honestly I’m getting lost with all the options here in Dubai. A buddy mentioned that going with a well known brand saves headaches later, so I started looking into Amaron because I’ve used their smaller batteries before without issues. The tricky… Read more

      Lincoln MKT AC smells like a wet dog and the fan only works on max speed. Where do you guys go for this stuff?

      I inherited my dad’s 2014 Lincoln MKT a few months ago and honestly the car drives like a dream on the highway but the AC situation is driving me up the wall right now. First off there’s this musty damp smell that hits you in the…
