Title II Forum

So I was about to buy this used TT from a private seller in Sharjah, really clean looking car, low mileage, guy seemed genuine. But something in my gut said get it checked first. A friend of mine who's into cars told me about Exotic Car Care and said they do proper inspections, not just a quick look and a thumbs up. So I booked it in and honestly best money I've spent. They found the car had been in a front end accident that wasn't disclosed, plus some suspension work that was done poorly. Nothing catastrophic but definitely stuff I would have been stuck fixing later. The seller got defensive when I brought it up which told me everything. Walked away and ended up finding a better one a few weeks later. Just sharing because I know a lot of people skip the inspection to save a few hundred dirhams and it can really bite you.

My Audi A6 is due for its gearbox oil and my biggest problem is time, not money. I work long hours in Musaffah and I cannot leave the car at a workshop for a whole day, because I need it to get to site and back. A colleague told me some places can finish the job while you wait, but another guy said a rushed job is a bad job. So I am not sure what to believe. I searched on my phone during lunch to see what a Fast Audi transmission oil change in Musaffah would even look like, and I still could not tell how long a proper one should take. The car has about eighty eight thousand kilometres. It drives fine, but I have never changed the oil, and the heat on these roads makes me nervous. What is a normal time for this job? Is one to two hours okay, or does that mean they skipped something like the filter or the warm up step? Also, should I book early in the morning so they are not in a hurry? And is it fair to ask them to show me the old oil and write the type and amount on the receipt? If you have done this while working a busy schedule, how did you manage it? I would love to hear what worked for you.
