CAR MAJOR SERVICE — DUBAI
The deep overhaul your car needs after two years of heat and traffic.
A major service opens up the engine bay, cooling system, and drivetrain for a full inspection and restoration, so components that have quietly worn down get addressed before they fail on the road.
Full inspection: engine, cooling, brakes & drivetrain
FULL SCOPE
What a full major service actually involves
Technicians work through a defined sequence rather than a quick once-over.
Replacing the engine oil and oil filter
Fitting new spark plugs and cleaning or replacing the air filter
Running a full electronic diagnostic scan with a written report
Flushing the brake fluid and inspecting the braking system
Flushing the coolant and checking the radiator
Checking the gearbox and transmission fluid
Inspecting suspension, steering, and wheel alignment
Replacing the AC filter and checking cabin cooling performance
Every item is completed using OEM parts rather than aftermarket substitutes, so the work doesn't compromise your vehicle's warranty or long-term durability.
WHY IT MATTERS HERE
How Dubai's roads and weather wear down a vehicle
Extreme summer heat softens rubber hoses and drive belts faster than in temperate countries, while fine desert sand works its way into seals and filters even on carefully driven cars. None of this shows up as an immediate fault — it builds quietly until a component finally gives way, often at the worst moment.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
Major service vs. routine servicing
| What's covered | Routine service | Major service |
|---|---|---|
| Engine oil & filter | Included | Included |
| Spark plug replacement | Not included | Included |
| Brake fluid | Top up only | Full flush |
| Coolant | Top up only | Full flush |
| Diagnostic depth | Basic warning light check | Full scan with written report |
| Suspension & steering | Visual check | Detailed inspection |
| Typical interval | 10,000 km or 6 months | 30,000–40,000 km or 2 years |
If your car only needs the lighter side of this table, our car minor service covers exactly that.
TIMING & COST
How often, and what it typically costs
Most manufacturers set the interval at 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers or two years, whichever arrives first, broadly consistent with international automotive maintenance standards. Vehicles that spend most of their time in Dubai traffic and heat often show wear closer to the lower end of that range.
TYPICAL RANGEAED 1,200 – 2,500
For most sedans and SUVs, depending on make, model, and parts required. Luxury and performance vehicles often sit toward the higher end because of pricier OEM components. The exact figure depends on what your inspection uncovers, so it's worth getting a quote based on your specific vehicle.
BEHIND EVERY SERVICE
Engineering standards behind every major service
Every major service is carried out using dealership-grade diagnostic equipment, not generic scan tools, so faults get identified with the same accuracy you'd expect from an authorized center.
Diagnostics that go beyond the dashboard
A full scan checks the ABS, SRS, and engine control modules for faults that haven't yet triggered a warning light. Catching these early is often the difference between a minor sensor replacement and a much larger repair bill later.
Restoring cooling, braking & suspension systems
Fluids aren't simply topped up during a major service — they're flushed and replaced through a full coolant flush, removing the moisture and debris that build up over months of use. Combined with brake pad replacement where needed and a full suspension inspection, this restores the kind of ride quality and stopping power a vehicle had when it was new.
QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
What is included in a car major service?+
A full inspection and restoration, including new spark plugs, an oil and filter change, a coolant and brake fluid flush, a full diagnostic scan, and a detailed check of the suspension, steering, and gearbox.
How much does it cost in Dubai?+
Most sedans and SUVs fall between AED 1,200 and AED 2,500, though the exact cost depends on the vehicle and the parts needed. Contact us for a quote based on your specific car.
How long does a major service take?+
A full major service usually takes half a day or more, since it involves fluid flushes, a complete diagnostic scan, and a detailed inspection of multiple systems rather than a quick top-up.
Will it affect my car's warranty?+
Using OEM or manufacturer-approved parts and following the recommended service schedule generally keeps a factory warranty intact, though it's worth confirming the specific terms with your vehicle's manufacturer.
Can it fix vibration or unusual noise while driving?+
Often, yes. Vibration and noise are commonly traced back to worn suspension bushings, engine mounts, or brake components, all of which get inspected as part of a major service.
