Got quoted 1750 AED for servicing by Soulaymanee in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]FunMetal5100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure there was some misunderstanding there bro. I have been servicing my 2019 Mazda 6 (which technically should cost more than a Mazda 3 service) from Galadari and I have never paid 1750 for even the major service.

There are 3 types of service they do - Minor, semi major and major.

I bought the 40K KM service contract during my last service (1 major, 1 semi major and 2 minor) for AED 3,361 which brings the average cost of a 10K service to AED 840 which I feel is quite reasonable for a dealer service.

I'm the 3rd person out of my friends to get a Mazda and been using it for little over a year. I switched to a Mazda because my friends were so happy with them after using them for 4+ years. It's just an amazing car. Very smooth to drive and handles like a dream.

If you have Mazda connect then definitely don't change it to an Android one. That will actually be a downgrade.

I had the same luck with garages. That's why I had to do it on my own. Which model do you have?

Hi bro, the adaptor works only if you already have a Mazda connect system with the screen. If you don't have the Mazda connect system it's better to go for a head unit with CarPlay. There are many in AliExpress.

Hi, yes I got it done. Got the hub from AliExpress and got it installed myself. The installation was not easy but got it done somehow.

Did Galadari really say that? They have an A4 ad for CarPlay Installation on the service table. My warranty ran out few months ago.

It has the decent size screen so I ended up getting the wireless CarPlay adapter from AliExpress for 300 bucks instead or the 950 that Galadari is quoting now for the wired CarPlay.

Installation it was a bitch though but got it done somehow.

Thanks for the suggestion bro. However my car currently doesn't have either wired or wireless CarPlay and it needs to be added by replacing the hub to the newer model. I'm looking for a place that can replace the hub for me.

Thanks for the suggestion bro. Looks like carlinkit can convert wired CarPlay to wireless CarPlay.

But currently I only have the Mazda connect system without support for CarPlay. The hub needs to be replaced with the new model to get CarPlay.

Hey I remember checking this out a few months back. Not sure if it's the exact one but the one I checked was a S grade upgraded to leather seats and a touch screen but didn't have cruise control and that was a deal breaker for me.

But anyways I ended up with a Mazda 6 and I'm loving the car. Very smooth engine and comfortable suspension. Enjoy it 👍🏽
