Garage licence and what to check
A garage needs a licence from the emirate where it operates. Abu Dhabi lists an auto mechanical repair licence at AED 250, while the business licence for a Dubai garage usually starts at about AED 15,000 to AED 35,000. Ask the garage to show its licence and say whether the quote includes labour, since some brake prices are given before labour.
Season and the heat
Summer from May to September is very hot, and winter from November to March is mild, so plan a longer test drive after the repair in the mild season. Ask the garage whether the price includes a check after the job.
Axles, parts and how the work is priced
Brake and suspension jobs are priced per axle, per rotor, per calliper or per pair of shock absorbers, so tell the garage which side and axle are affected. A diagnostic check is typically estimated at AED 150 to AED 450, and wheel alignment should be listed as its own item. For example, a brake job per axle on an economy sedan runs from AED 150 to AED 350 before labour, while premium SUVs cost more.
What to write in your request
Say what needs fixing, the car make and model, and which axle and side are affected. Describe the symptoms, such as a noise when braking or the car pulling to one side, and say whether you want genuine or aftermarket parts. Add whether you need wheel alignment, the city or area, your deadline and your budget.
On BlaBlaPrice you describe the car problem in your own words in a chat, and a photo can be added. The AI asks for missing details, such as the car model and symptoms, then looks through garages' websites and price lists in the UAE and shows the prices and workshops it found. Garages registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their price, parts and deadline, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them.
