The makes we work on
Full mechanical repair on any car is an easy sentence to write. This is what stands behind it: the marques that come through the door in Sharjah, and the four kinds of car that ask a workshop for something different.
Naming a make here means we work on it. It does not mean we are approved, authorised or appointed by anyone who builds it.
Four groups, because four things actually differ
The engine is not what separates these pages. What separates them is what a workshop has to do around the repair: which cars have to be coded after a part is changed, which cars cannot reach the lift arms without ramps, which cars wear brakes and bushes out because of what they weigh, and which cars have the part on a shelf in Sharjah this afternoon.
If your car is not named on any of the four, it is still a car and the process does not change. Ask.
Coding and adaptations after a part is changed, oil to the approval the engine asks for, and the service interval the car computes rather than the one on the odometer.
Clearance, torque specs, parts that arrive on their own schedule — and a straight answer about which part of the job stays in this building.
Big V8s and full-size SUVs: brakes and suspension that work harder for the weight, air springs that feel the heat, and parts that are usually already in the country.
The cars this workshop sees most. Parts on a shelf in Sharjah, and a CVT or a timing belt that this climate has an opinion about.
A workshop that says it works on everything is telling you nothing. These four pages say what is actually different about each one — including where the difference is nothing at all.

The shapes that come through
The lists above are names. These are the cars behind them — different weights on a ramp, different intervals, different parts to find in Sharjah on a Tuesday afternoon.
If your make is not on a list
The lists are the makes that come through the door often enough to be worth naming. They are not the limit of what we take. What decides a job is the job, not the badge:
- Whether the fault can be reached and proved here — a lift, the tooling for that job, and a technician who has done it before.
- Whether the part can be got in a sensible time. On an uncommon make that is the usual answer to “how long”, and we will tell you before you leave the car.
- Whether it needs a machine or a trade this building does not have. If it does, it goes out, and you are told which part and to whom before it moves.
- Send the make, the model year and what the car is doing. If the answer is no, you get that answer, and it costs you a message.
The question the front desk gets asked most
“Do you work on mine?” Send the make, the model year and what the car is doing. If the answer is no, you will get that answer, and it will cost you a message.
