What changes the price
The car. A 4-cylinder Toyota and a V8 Range Rover need different hours and parts. Parts. Original, OEM or aftermarket — we show the options and the price of each. How far the damage went. A leaking gasket caught early costs 150 AED; the same leak that ran the engine dry ends in an overhaul. Dubai heat. Cooling and oil problems escalate faster here, so we check the cooling system with every engine job.

You describe the symptom in WhatsApp or bring the car to Al Quoz 3. We run diagnostics (from 500 AED with endoscopy, from 50 AED for a check-engine read), send you a written estimate with parts and hours, and start only after you approve it. Warranty on all work.

FAQ
How much does engine diagnostics cost in Dubai?
At Golden Horse a check-engine read is from 50 AED and full engine diagnostics with endoscopy and a compression test is from 500 AED. The diagnostics fee is shown in the estimate; you get a written report with the cause before any repair.
How much is an engine rebuild in Dubai?
There is no fixed price: an overhaul depends on the engine, what failed and which parts are needed, so we quote it only after diagnostics. Expect 3–28 days in the workshop. Minor repairs such as gaskets, coils or a timing belt start from 100–350 AED for labour.
Is it worth repairing or should I replace the engine?
If the block and crankshaft are intact, a repair is usually cheaper than a used engine of unknown history. After diagnostics we give you both options with prices and warranty so you can compare.
Do the prices include parts and VAT?
The prices above are labour only, excluding 5% VAT. Parts are listed separately in the estimate with original, OEM and aftermarket options where available.
