Choose the right starting point
These are different situations. Tell us what happened, whether the car was in a collision and what work has already been done.
No known collision
A fault can involve wiring, a connector, a sensor, the clock spring, a pretensioner or the control system. A scan helps guide testing, but the code alone does not establish the failed part.
The system may not protect occupants as intended. Follow the owner’s manual and arrange prompt assessment before continuing normal use.
After a crash or deployment
A deployed airbag cannot be reused. The vehicle needs an assessment of the restraints and other collision damage, with replacement and checks following the manufacturer’s procedure.
Arrange vehicle recovery. Do not drive it merely because the engine still starts.
Buying or checking a used car
We can review available crash and repair records and inspect suspected previous restraint work. A tidy dashboard and an unlit warning lamp do not prove the whole history.
Tell us about replaced seats, steering wheels, dashboards or missing paperwork.

What changes the total? Your model, exact part number, access and any additional collision damage. Premium vehicles can cost more. Dashboard trim, seat covers, headliners, extra failed components and additional testing are quoted separately where needed.
No duplicate programming charge. Programming already included in a replacement quote is not charged again. Used-airbag options are quoted separately after checking suitability and availability.
How the parts add up
AED 2,300–6,000 including 5% VAT
This combines the new driver-airbag estimate of AED 1,500–3,500 with one new seat-belt or pretensioner assembly at AED 800–2,500, including the fitting and checks listed above.
It is an example of these two replacements, not a complete collision-repair quote. We assess sensors, modules, trim and the other restraints, then show all required work in your car’s total.
Find the fault behind the light
SRS means Supplemental Restraint System. It includes airbags and related restraint controls; seat belts remain essential to occupant protection.
We discuss the warning and repair history, then agree the checks needed. Our workshop uses AUTEL or other vehicle-compatible diagnostic equipment. Tell us your make, model and year so we can confirm the right inspection for your car. Intermittent faults and previous collision repairs may need more testing than an initial scan.
Do not unplug, probe or bypass restraint components to try to remove a warning. Airbags and pretensioners need trained handling and vehicle-specific precautions.
We read the relevant modules, record fault information and check the airbag warning lamp against the manufacturer’s startup sequence, including a lamp that fails to come on when expected.
We test the relevant circuit or component using the vehicle’s repair procedure before recommending a replacement.
We explain the diagnosis, suitable parts and any further testing needed, with a quote before repair work starts.
We complete the required setup and post-repair checks, including passenger-seat detection calibration where specified. Your repair record identifies what was replaced and checked.
Look beyond the steering wheel
A pretensioner tightens the seat belt during certain collisions. If it fires, it needs the replacement specified by the manufacturer. The repair may also require sensors, the control module and other restraints to be checked or replaced.
Damaged webbing, a locked belt or a fired pretensioner needs the correct assessment. Changing fabric or resetting a warning is not a substitute for restoring the specified restraint assembly.
We discuss required parts and related checks as one plan. Any associated collision repair is assessed alongside the restraint work.
Spend on the repair your car needs
Tell us about your car and share any quote you already have. We handle the diagnosis and parts comparison, then explain where a suitable alternative could reduce your bill.
We can source used, undeployed airbags for some vehicles. Our team handles the part matching, supplier history, recall checks and manufacturer requirements before offering an option.
New parts avoid the uncertainty of an airbag’s previous use. If your manufacturer requires new restraints or a used part’s history is unclear, we quote new parts. We explain the condition, price and warranty terms before you decide.
Used-airbag availability and prices depend on your car. We confirm which options are suitable before quoting.
We investigate the warning before recommending parts. A connector, clock spring or sensor fault may need a different repair from airbag replacement.
We compare available suppliers for the correct parts. Where a used option is appropriate, we explain it alongside the new-part quote so you can see the difference.
We explain parts, fitting, required programming, related work and VAT in your quote. Programming already included in a replacement is not charged again.
We identify connected restraint and trim work before starting. Planning access and parts together helps avoid unnecessary repeat dismantling and lets you understand the complete repair cost.
Know what your repair includes
An airbag warning does not always mean you need a new airbag. A deployed bag, however, must be replaced. The fault, crash history and manufacturer’s instructions determine the parts and checks your car needs.
We match replacement airbags to your VIN, restraint system and seating position, and document the part and source. Similar-looking airbags are not automatically interchangeable. We exclude repacked bags and parts with an unverified history.
Driver, dashboard, seat, curtain, knee and center airbags are different assemblies. Their location changes the access, trim and related parts needed. We identify each affected position in your quote.
Seat-airbag repairs may require a new cover, foam or other seat parts under the manufacturer’s procedure. Ordinary restitching is not a substitute. The passenger-seat detection system may also need calibration after seat components are changed.
The answer depends on the vehicle, the module’s condition and the manufacturer’s instructions. Replacement or programming may be required. Erasing crash data alone does not establish that the module is suitable for reuse.
A cleared code or an unlit warning lamp does not prove a complete repair. Required checks must cover the affected restraints. Bypasses and removed warning bulbs do not restore missing or damaged safety components.
We provide an itemized repair record covering replaced parts and relevant post-repair checks. Restraint work, interior trim and collision repairs are clearly identified, with the applicable warranty terms explained.

No. A deployed airbag must be replaced. The rest of the restraint system also needs the inspection and replacement steps required by the vehicle manufacturer. Repacking the bag or hiding the warning is not an appropriate repair.
The warning may mean the restraint system will not work as intended. Follow your owner’s manual and contact the team promptly before continuing normal use. After deployment or a collision, arrange recovery and inspection before the car is driven again.
Not by itself. The underlying fault must be identified and repaired, with the required checks afterward. Erasing codes without addressing a defective component can hide a problem without restoring protection.
At My Car Repair Dubai, initial SRS diagnosis is AED 150–350, clock-spring replacement is AED 400–1,200 and driver airbag replacement is AED 1,500–3,500 for common models. These estimated prices include 5% VAT. The final quote depends on the exact vehicle, parts and related work. Used-airbag options are quoted separately after suitability checks.
Yes. All prices shown include 5% VAT. Replacement rows include the listed new part, fitting and post-repair checks, with setup or programming as stated. Extra testing, damaged trim and other required components are identified in your quote before approval.
Yes, we can source used, undeployed airbags for some vehicles. Our team handles part matching, source history, recall checks and the manufacturer’s repair requirements. We explain suitable options and their price and warranty terms. If new restraints are required or a used part’s history is unclear, we quote new parts.
No. The warning relates to the wider restraint system. Wiring, connectors, sensors, clock springs, pretensioners or control faults can be involved. Diagnosis is needed before choosing a part.
It depends on the event, their condition and the manufacturer’s procedure. Fired pretensioners and damaged restraint parts require the specified replacement. Inspection must go beyond whether the belt still clips into its buckle.
We can discuss an SRS inspection and review available fault information, parts and repair history. A diagnostic scan alone cannot prove the complete accident history or guarantee every concealed component is original.
No. Some vehicles switch the passenger airbag status according to the seat or occupancy system. Check the owner’s manual for the expected behavior. If it is unexpected or accompanied by a restraint warning, arrange an assessment.
