Came across a 2016 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara at a lot in Al Quoz that’s got the exact color combo I’ve been hunting and the price is actually pretty fair for the mileage they’re advertising, but when I took it for a spin the steering had this slight…Read more

Took my 2015 Wrangler Unlimited out to Al Faya last weekend with a few friends and got a little too enthusiastic on a climb, nothing crazy just a bit of wheel spin in the soft stuff and then this horrible metallic grinding noise started when I tried to shift…Read more

After moving to Dubai two years ago, I started noticing my car would pull slightly to the left and the rear end felt loose going over those weird dips near the curb cuts.…Read more

Honestly the search for a decent place to do a basic Lincoln brake system repair and pad replacement in this city has been one of the most frustrating exercises in keyword confusion I’ve ever experienced, I type in Lincoln brakes Dubai expecting to find a…Read more

Been obsessing over a 2017 F Type R coupe I found listed on a local classifieds app and the seller seems like a decent guy but the car’s got Gulf specs and spent its whole life here in the Abu Dhabi heat which always makes me nervous about the cooling system…Read more

Had a friendly chat with an inspector last week at our Ajman site who politely pointed out that the “bunding” we’ve been relying on for the past three years is basically just a few faded plastic pallets with a rim so low they’d…Read more
