Thought I'd share something that's been really helpful for me lately, especially since I'm still pretty new to owning a car in Dubai and figuring out what's reasonable to pay for stuff. I've been burned a couple times already, like paying way too much for a simple battery change because I didn't know any better and just went with the first garage I found near my place in Barsha. Since then I've been trying to educate myself a bit and came across this website that breaks down typical maintenance costs for different makes and models here, really detailed stuff from oil changes to major engine work. It's dubaimetromap.ae/car-maintenance-costs-uae if anyone wants to check it out, I found it super useful for getting a baseline before I start calling around for quotes. Just got my AC serviced and used their estimates to negotiate a bit, ended up saving a decent amount compared to what the first place quoted me. Anyway, just thought I'd share in case anyone else is tired of feeling like they're overpaying every time something goes wrong with their car, always good to have options.
