New to Abu Dhabi and looking for a reliable garage for my daily driver

By: winstonoakshott on Sep 02, 2026 05:09 AM EST
Hey everyone, I just moved to Abu Dhabi from Sharjah a couple of weeks ago for work and I'm still trying to find my bearings around the city, especially when it comes to car maintenance. I drive a 2016 Toyota Camry that's been pretty bulletproof so far, but it's coming up on 150,000 km and I know I need to get the transmission fluid changed and probably the serpentine belt replaced before something fails on me unexpectedly. The thing is, I don't really know anyone here yet who can recommend a good workshop, and I'm always a bit hesitant to just pick a random garage off the street because I've had some pretty bad experiences in the past with places that overcharge or do shoddy work. I've been driving past a few shops in the Musaffah area during my commute and there seem to be dozens of them, which is honestly a bit overwhelming when you're trying to figure out which one is actually trustworthy. A colleague at work suggested I visit this page for auto care services in Abu Dhabi to get an idea of what's available and what kind of work they specialize in, which seemed like a sensible starting point rather than just guessing. I'm really just looking for a place that does honest work at a fair price, doesn't try to upsell me on unnecessary services, and actually stands behind their work if something goes wrong. I don't mind paying a bit more for quality and peace of mind, but I also don't want to be taken advantage of just because I'm new to the area and don't have a regular mechanic yet. If anyone here has been in a similar situation or has a garage they've been going to for years that they actually trust, I'd be really grateful for some recommendations so I can get this service done without stressing about it.
