I put off getting my BMW’s gearbox looked at for almost two weeks because I couldn’t find a shop I trusted. Every place I called either sounded clueless or quoted me a price that seemed way too high. Last week I finally decided to try gearboxrepairsharjah.ae/brands/bmw after a colleague mentioned he’d heard good things. They told me to bring it…

My Range Rover Evoque has been acting up lately. The AC is weak and there’s a warning light on the dash that I don’t recognize. I’m in Al Nahda and I’ve asked a few people for recommendations but nobody seems to know a place that actually understands Land Rovers. I don’t want to take it to just any garage because I’ve heard too many stories…

My Camaro SS is due for new brake pads and I’ve been putting it off for weeks because I don’t know where to take it. I’ve been burned before by a garage that used cheap pads and they started squealing within a month, so I’m being extra careful this time. I was searching around online and came across a page that said “…

So I’m finally making the move to MBZ City next month and while I’m excited about the new place, I’m honestly a bit stressed about having to find new go-to spots for everything, especially for my GMC Terrain which is getting up there in mileage and needs regular maintenance to keep it running smooth. I’ve been using the same garage near my…

So my Nissan Sunny finally gave up the ghost this morning, battery completely dead and I was already stressed about getting the kids to school on time. I live in Bur Dubai and honestly I’m tired of driving all the way to Deira or Al Quoz every time I need something done on my car, there’s got to be a decent place closer to home that…

I’m seriously torn right now because I just picked up a gently used 2021 Autobiography and the previous owner clearly loved their automatic car washes a bit too much – the holograms are everywhere and it’s doing my head in every time the sun hits it at a certain angle. I’ve been scrolling through forums and watching way too many YouTube…

So I’ve got a 2017 Maserati Ghibli that’s been absolutely brilliant for the most part, but over the last couple of months I’ve noticed this annoying knocking sound coming from the front suspension whenever I go over uneven roads or speed bumps, and honestly it’s starting to really bother me. I took it to a garage near my place and they had a…

So I’ve been driving my Patrol around for the past few months with this annoying clunking noise coming from the front passenger side, and honestly I’ve just been turning up the radio to ignore it. But yesterday I had my dad in the car and he immediately asked what was wrong with the suspension, which forced me to actually face the problem. I…

I’ve got this situation that’s been slowly getting worse over the past few months and I think I’ve reached the point where I can’t just ignore it anymore. The breaker for my kitchen and dining room area keeps tripping randomly, sometimes when I’m running the dishwasher, sometimes when I’m using the toaster and microwave at the same time,…

Looking to book certified PPF installation in Sharjah – need a shop that actually wraps edges, not just cuts on the surface

Hey everyone, I’m finally taking the plunge and getting PPF for my new car, but I’m honestly overwhelmed by all the options and horror stories I’ve read online. I’m based in Sharjah and I’ve seen a few places like Armor Car…

Well that was a bit embarrassing. I took my 2018 Dodge Charger to a drive-in cinema last weekend with the family and after a couple of hours of listening to the radio with the engine off, the car wouldn’t start. Had to get a jump from another moviegoer, which was pretty humiliating to be honest. I know I should have been more careful…

Well this has been a fun week. My 2019 Velar wouldn’t start on Monday, I called a recovery service who gave me a jump and everything seemed fine. I drove around for about 30 minutes to let the alternator do its thing and parked it. Tuesday morning, same story, completely dead. So I figured the battery is clearly toast and I need to get it…

My F-Pace has been sitting in the car park for a couple of days because the battery decided to completely give up on me, and honestly I’ve been dreading dealing with it because I just don’t have the time to sit around a garage waiting for them to get to it. I’m in The Springs and I’m trying to find a place that actually stocks the correct…
