Mechanical and electrical repairs in Al Quoz

Car Repair in Dubai

A warning light, a new noise or a car that will not start can interrupt your day. MyCarRepair handles engine, brake, gearbox, AC and electrical repairs, with the work and estimate explained before you commit.

Share your model and what has changed. We can help you arrange the right repair appointment.

A guide to repair costs

The price depends on the part that needs attention and the work needed to reach it. These fitted examples give you a starting point. All amounts are in AED and include 5% VAT.

RepairFitted guideWhat the amount covers
Brake pad replacementAED 300–1,500
Market estimate per axle
Pads, fitting and an applicable wear sensor for the front or rear axle. Discs and hydraulic repairs are separate.
Starter battery replacementAED 350–1,500
Market estimate per battery
One conventional starter battery, fitting and applicable registration. Traction batteries and unusual lithium systems are excluded.
Timing belt or chain kitAED 1,450–4,400
MyCarRepair guide per job
Applicable kit, tensioners or guides, fitting and timing. Exact kit contents and access depend on the engine.
Head gasket repairAED 2,900–7,800
MyCarRepair guide per job
Head removal and checking, replacement gasket and coolant. Additional damage or machining can change the estimate.

Engine figures are our published indicative estimates. Brake and battery figures are BRITFIX’s published market examples, not MyCarRepair fixed rates. Performance brakes, unusual battery specifications and complex engine access can fall outside these ranges.

Send the make, model and year for a relevant quotation. A basic check, paid fault investigation, dismantling and the completed repair are different jobs; agree any investigation charge before work begins.

Repairs for the problem you have

You do not need to name the faulty part to book. Describe what the car is doing and choose the relevant area below for more detail.

Engine, leaks and overheating

Rough running, power loss, oil leaks and rising temperature need different repairs. The work may involve an ignition part, seal, hose, radiator or another failed component. Internal damage can require more extensive engine repair.

A cooling leak and a damaged cylinder head are very different quotations. Testing and the engine’s condition determine whether a targeted repair is enough.

Gearbox and transmission faults

Slipping, delayed engagement or harsh shifts can involve fluid leaks, controls or internal wear. Transmission repair may mean repairing a leak or control fault, rebuilding a suitable unit, or comparing a replacement.

Tell us whether the problem appears when cold, when warm or in a particular gear. An oil change is maintenance and cannot be assumed to cure a damaged transmission.

Brakes, steering and suspension

Grinding, pulling, knocking or vibration can involve several parts. Brake repairs include pads, discs, calipers and hydraulic faults. Steering and suspension work can involve bushes, arms, dampers, joints or related components.

The estimate should identify the front or rear, the number of parts and any alignment needed. A noise alone does not tell you which component to buy.

Starting and electrical problems

A car that will not crank may need a replacement battery, but poor connections, the starter or the charging system can also be involved. Electrical work includes wiring, sensors and control-related faults where supported for your model.

Computer diagnostics helps investigate warning lights. Reading or clearing a fault code is not the same as repairing its cause.

AC and cabin cooling

Weak airflow and air that blows warm need different work. Car AC repair can involve the blower and controls, a refrigerant leak, condenser or compressor, depending on the fault.

A recharge replaces refrigerant; it does not repair a leaking component. Your car’s refrigerant type and the parts required belong in the estimate.

Dents, paint and accident damage

For damaged bumpers, dents, scratches or collision damage, our body shop explains panel repair, replacement and painting choices. The material, damage and adjacent finish affect the work.

Tell us if the damage followed an impact or also changed the steering or ride. A photograph helps with an initial enquiry, but hidden damage needs assessment.

If the car is running normally and the next scheduled visit is due, see car servicing for maintenance inclusions. For a hybrid or electric car, share the powertrain first; electric-car repairs need model-specific acceptance, particularly for high-voltage work.

The right parts for the repair

A model name alone may not identify the part. Engine code, build date, brake size and fitted equipment can change compatibility. A registration or VIN detail helps resolve that before parts are ordered.

Where alternatives are available, compare the specified genuine or aftermarket part, what is included and the applicable warranty. The cheapest part price may leave out fitting hardware, sensors, fluids or required setup.

Brake work is a useful example. A pad set is quoted for an axle, while discs, a sticking caliper or a wear sensor may be additional. The estimate should describe the actual combination being fitted.

When a larger repair is needed

An expensive engine or gearbox fault deserves a comparison of viable options. The condition of the remaining assembly matters as much as the failed part.

Repair the failed part

A localised leak, damaged connection or replaceable component can allow the rest of the assembly to stay in place. The repair still needs to address what caused the failure and any resulting damage.

Rebuild a suitable unit

A rebuild can make sense where internal wear can be corrected and the main casing or engine structure remains serviceable. Dismantling may be needed before the final parts and machining requirements are known.

Compare a replacement

A new, remanufactured or used assembly may be an alternative when available for the vehicle. Compare its condition, included accessories, fitment, setup and written warranty with the complete rebuild cost.

Compare fitted totals. Removing and refitting a unit, seals, fluids, programming and correcting an associated fault can make a low advertised assembly price very different from the completed repair.

Planning the time without your car

A straightforward replacement with the correct part available is different from a repair awaiting dismantling, machining or a special-order component. Ask for the expected workshop time and the parts lead time separately.

Before major work starts, we explain the findings and estimate. If additional damage becomes visible, the extra work needs your approval. At collection, ask what was replaced, how the original complaint was checked and which follow-up instructions apply.

Driving in or arranging collection

For loss of braking, severe overheating or a car that cannot be driven safely, stop in a safe place and arrange suitable assistance. Do not drive to the workshop simply to keep an appointment.

For a drivable car, ask about pickup and return availability. Collection depends on the location, vehicle condition and schedule; transporting an immobilised car is a separate arrangement.

Before you book the repair

Can I send an estimate from another garage?

Yes. Send the written estimate with your make, model and year. It helps identify the parts and labour you want us to quote. Matching the listed work does not confirm the diagnosis, so the vehicle may still need assessment.

Can you quote from a noise or warning-light photograph?

A description, recording or photograph helps us understand the concern and arrange the visit. It usually cannot confirm the failed part or a final repair cost. Note when it happens and whether recent work changed the symptom.

Can maintenance and repairs be booked together?

Yes, explain both when enquiring. Keep the scheduled-service items and fault repair separately listed so you know which parts and labour each amount covers.

Where do I bring the car?

MyCarRepair is at 39, Al Quoz 4, Dubai. Workshop hours are Monday to Friday, 05:00–22:00, and Saturday, 05:00–18:00. The workshop is closed on Sunday. Call before visiting to arrange an appointment.
