It is known fact that Consumer Rights agencies across countries get more calls about poor quality automotive services than any other services. You may get mechanics with various qualities but thinking all of them have all the repairing knowledge of every type cars, is just impossible.

If you are staying in Dubai, finding a quality car garage Dubai that can suit to your needs and budget can be overwhelming. Here are some of the awareness tips and precautions you must take when leaving your car for car repair in Dubai:

  1. Knowledge about Your Vehicle is Important: Many people do not keep even the smallest mechanical knowledge of their vehicle which is an important aspect when you leave your car with a car service center In Dubai for repairs. If you don’t have time, just go through the catalogue of the car or instructions recommended by the manufacturer about maintenance schedules. Learning the basic functions of the vehicle is important because it gives you the knowledge what exactly is the fault in the car. For example, if you know a little about engine, starter, battery etc. it will enable you to understand the potential diagnoses by the mechanic.

  2. Let the Service center Diagnose the Problem: If you know what repairs are required for the car, you need not explain it to the car garage Dubai. Just tell them the problem you are going through and let them do the diagnoses. If there is a problem with car startup or transmission is not working, don’t voice your ideas to the mechanic. Giving your ideas can mislead them and it may tempt them to sell you something different which actually is not the problem.

  3. Take a Written Estimate: If you are going to a particular car service center in Dubai and have satisfactory experience with them, it is fine to take the estimate of repairing, diagnosis, and authorization on phone. But if you stick to a written estimate, it will be helpful for both the owner and the service center as nobody will be having any doubts about last minute misunderstanding.

  4. Note down the Symptoms of the Ailing Vehicle Beforehand: You, being the driver of the vehicle, will specifically come to know the problems, such as a noisy engine or a sudden smelling; signs that your car is giving to you. Note down all the things which you feel are wrong with the car so that you can explain them to the service manager of the car garage Dubai. You can also ask them to have a drive to find out the vague problem clearly.

  5. Take a Written Account of the Repairs Done: Make sure that the service center, you have left your car with, should give you a written statement of the work they have done. The best garages in Dubai should have written policies about refunds, warranties, and will ensure the customer a “come-back” policy which means if you go to them again, they will give you a prompt response.
