I'm shopping around for a transmission fluid and filter change on my 2018 A4 and I keep seeing shops describe themselves as adept, skilled, or expert. One place I called said they offer Adept Transmission Service Abu Dhabi but when I asked what makes them different, the guy just said "we know...

Every time I go over a speed bump or a dip in the road, my 2014 Ford Explorer makes this loud squeaking noise from the front end, like an old creaky mattress. It's embarrassing and I'm worried something is about to break. No bouncing or rough ride, just the noise. I took it to one shop who said...

Lately my 2015 Grand Cherokee has developed this solid thunk whenever I shift from park to reverse or drive, and I can actually feel the whole car rock a bit. No vibration at idle though, which makes me wonder if it's the transmission mount or maybe just one engine mount gone soft. I took a...

My 2017 430i was losing coolant slowly for months, and I kept topping it up. Finally got tired of the smell and took it to a place that specializes in German cars. They turned out to be a proper Dubai BMW Leak Repair Specialist and found a cracked expansion tank and a weeping water pump seal...

Thought I'd share a quick update because this forum has helped me before. My Hilux has been cranking slower each week and finally gave up on Tuesday. Called around for an Amaron 80D26L Car Battery in Dubai and found a place that delivered and installed it at my villa within two hours. The guy...

I've got a 2014 XF 3.0 that I absolutely adore driving but for the last couple of months every time I fire up the AC in the morning before heading out to work in Sharjah there's this musty sour smell that comes blasting through the vents for the first minute or so and then it fades into...

I picked up a 2007 Gallardo Spyder about a year ago after saving for what felt like an eternity and for the most part it's been the best bad decision I've ever made, that V10 howl never gets old, but over the last few weeks the e-gear has started doing this thing where it'll pause for a solid...

Just wanted to drop a quick note here for anyone else who's been losing sleep over a potential Porsche purchase in this city because I almost learned an expensive lesson the hard way. I've been hunting for a 997 Carrera for the better part of six months and thought I'd found the one, clean...

I bought some plastic storage crates from a shop in Ajman last year thinking I was being smart, but half of them have cracked corners already and one literally split open when I tried to move it with some books inside, so now I’m on the hunt for something properly made. A friend mentioned that...

I honestly didn't realize how bad it had gotten until my mother in law was in the back seat last week and she actually asked me if I'd changed the tyres to something "sportier" because she could feel every single crack in the asphalt on the way to Dubai Hills and I had to pretend I knew what she...

Took the JK out to Al Qudra last weekend for a bit of light dune bashing nothing crazy just letting some air out and enjoying the sunset and the thing ran like a champ the whole time but I go to start it this morning to head to work and it just cranks once really slowly and then the dashboard...

Found a 2012 IS-F that's been listed for a couple weeks at a smaller dealer near the industrial area and I went to take a look yesterday and it fired right up with that intoxicating Yamaha tuned V8 rumble which almost made me want to ignore the little voice in my head telling me to be sensible...

Got myself a used Leon Cupra a few months back and mechanically it's been a riot but the paint is looking a bit sad up close with the usual swirl marks from what I'm guessing were years of petrol station car wash brushes before I rescued it and I'd really like to get it polished up properly and...

So I drove out to Abu Dhabi last weekend to visit family and literally the morning after I had just done a full oil change at my usual spot in Al Quoz the service reminder light decides to start glowing on the dash like I've been neglecting the car for years, and I know it's just a matter of...

Took my 2016 Golf R out for a spin last night after not driving it for a couple weeks and the front passenger side is making this awful hollow clunking sound every time I go over even the smallest speed hump or a rough patch of tarmac, and it's gotten to the point where I'm actually avoiding...
