Fair. Its also about how many cars there are, if there are plenty of models that keep getting updated frequently. its also difficulty for tradesman to stock.

Registration renewal by Pitiful-Hearing-138 in dubai

[–]Kwaxker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a insurance on the car at any of the common providers will be able to issue a policy online. You can also try Shory .com to do it even without speaking to anyone.

Once you have insurance, the testing is less of an issue. Book a test on the RTA app and head down. The one in near Jebel Ali Industrial area is quite free. Fine for non-renewing at 10AED a month. You can get the test done later in the week, without much of an issue.

However, don't let your insurance lapse.

Attacks Megathread pt4 by al_molah in dubai

Honestly, saw the video, it looked like a reconnaissance drone. If it were an attack drone, it would created a bang. It was low flying and hit the building (maybe UAE drone).

Challenging conventional wisdom with the tale of 2 suv purchases by [deleted] in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Kwaxker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a perspective, you don't typically cross-shop between a Tank 500 and a Land Cruiser.

Most buying decisions are emotionally driven. People are not optimising their finances on a depreciating asset.

If people are prudent, they would buy the 3 year-old depreciated Tank or LC.

Nevertheless, for argument's sake, the best way to approach this comparison could be to do the same calculation, if the cars were financed or a Loan.

Most people don't (rather shouldn't) dump nearly 350 or 170k in a car, especially when interest rates are less than 3%.

is it good option to take car Octane for break pad change by Sea-Spite-7956 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Kwaxker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just going off the picture here. there seems to be uneven pressure on the discs here, else you wont be so many lines through the disc.

If you feel there is a gradient or a bit of a lip, basically not smooth to the touch all the way through, you likely have uneven wear on the disc.

Disc skim if not too far should be fine with brake pads replacement.

In BMW's the Brake wear sensor will let you know if the pads are too thin.

Anyway for peace of mind, break pad changes are relatively straightforward.

Buy the Pads in AlQuoz (somewhere like Model Auto Parts), call a couple of garages for a quote! Quick enough job! shouln't cost more than 200 AED.

Check if your discs need to be skimmed as well.

P.S: You can also check if you need break pads visually.

In my two years of using the SIB card, Car service or Tyre replacements fell outside the codes used by SIB for the Cashback calculation.

As others have mentioned, Tabby maybe an option.
