Is paint protection film actually worth it here or just an upsell?

Picked up a new car last month and the dealer immediately started pushing paint protection film, quoting some eye watering number. My instinct was that it's just another add on they make commission on, so I said no and walked away. But now I'm second guessing myself because I've already noticed a ...

Towing company wanted cash only, no receipt, seemed off

Had my car towed from Al Jaddaf yesterday and something about the whole thing felt wrong. The driver turned up, did the job fine, but then insisted on cash and said he couldn't give me a receipt because "the machine wasn't working." I needed the car moved so I paid, but now I'm wondering what I ...

Porsche gearbox warning came on mid drive, need somewhere quick near Al Qusais

Was driving home from work yesterday and out of nowhere my Macan flashed a gearbox fault warning and went into what felt like limp mode for about thirty seconds before going back to normal. It has not come back since but I am not stupid enough to ignore it. I need to get it scanned properly this ...

Charger owner, need a shop that actually knows HEMI engines

I have a 2016 Charger R/T with the 5.7 HEMI and it has developed this ticking sound on cold start that goes away after a minute or so. I have read enough forum threads to know this could be anything from an exhaust manifold leak to lifter issues, and I am genuinely nervous about it because if it is ...

Is this Range Rover brake pad site actually legit?

I've been putting off replacing the pads on my Range Rover Evoque for way too long and now the grinding sound is getting embarrassing. I started searching online and stumbled on brakepadreplacementdubai.ae/brands/range-rover which seems to focus specifically on Range Rover brake pads. The site looks ...

Almost bought a Ferrari blind, glad I got it checked first

I've been dreaming about owning a Ferrari for years and finally found a 2014 458 Italia that looked perfect in the photos and the seller seemed like a decent guy. He was asking a fair price and kept telling me the car was flawless, full service history, never tracked, all the usual stuff. I was ...

After two bad experiences, finally found a plumber who knows what he's doing

I've had terrible luck with plumbers since moving here. First one charged me an arm and a leg just to snake a drain and then it clogged again a week later. Second one tried to convince me I needed a full repipe when it was just a faulty shutoff valve. I was about ready to give up and just live with ...

Booked my major service near ICAD, hoping I didn't get scammed

Hey everyone, so I finally bit the bullet and decided to get the major service done on my 2015 328i. I've been putting it off for months because I was worried about cost and honestly didn't know who to trust. I called a few places and one quoted me something outrageous, another said they'd use ...

Anyone know a trustworthy AC shop near ICAD? My Prado's cooling is weak

I've been living in the ICAD residential area for a couple of years now and my 2017 Prado's AC just isn't cutting it anymore. The air coming out is cool, but it's definitely not as cold as it used to be, and the airflow seems weaker even on the highest fan setting. I've already swapped out the cabin ...

Storing bulk olives – drum or barrel?

I've got a bit of a dilemma with my latest batch of cured olives from the family farm – last year I used these old metal barrels and they ended up rusting at the seams, which ruined about twenty kilos of perfectly good produce and I'm still kicking myself over it. I've been looking into food-grade p ...
