My car is finally out of warranty, so I'm stepping away from the dealership for the first time and looking for a good local garage in Sharjah. It's a bit nerve wracking because I don't want to end up with unnecessary repairs or poor workmanship. I found a really helpful article online that broke down what to look for in a repair garage, like checking for licensed staff, asking for written quotes, and seeing if they offer a warranty on their work. It also suggested looking for a place with modern diagnostic tools. Before I just pick one from Google Maps, I thought I'd ask here. For those of you in Sharjah, what were the green flags that told you a workshop was honest and skilled? Was it their communication, their willingness to explain things, or something else?
