Gawie Herholdt Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hello folks, I'm new to the UAE and looking for recommendations for good independent LR specialists in the Dubai area. Ideally the kind of folks who can actually still fix and repair stuff and not just fit new parts and charging arm and leg (the last service at Al Tayar came to a whopping 4K AED for a basic 65,000km service!). There is a knocking sound coming from the front suspension when applying brakes or going over speed bumps, and this is becoming progressively louder and more prominent. I suspect it might be worn bushings and need to get this inspected and repaired. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertdude Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Try Capital Auto in Al Qouz a lot of guys from the LROUAE go there and always have good things to say about them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Which LR is this and which year model? Depending on that I can advise that you actually need a LR specialist or not. I recently sold Range Rover Supercharged and my experience with Al Tayer was same as yours and when looking for minor service from LR specialist it become 2k instead of 4K. Having said you can still shave off lot of cost if issue is confirmed of bushing or mountings (I doubt), then you can get the original OEM parts from Gulf star with free delivery and get it change to any decent workshop near your area instead of LR specialist adding marking up 20-30% on parts and with double the labor cost. 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Gaurav Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 7 hours ago, Gawie Herholdt said: My Landy is a 2014 LR4 SCV6 I would say show it to two LR specialist and get the diagnosis done, so you know what it is. Get the pricing with parts and without parts to compare how they both stack up and also share here so we can advice further. If it's something simple you can still opt for non specialist, if it's too technical and require programming after parts change, better stick to specialist. LR4 is not too complicated like RR but being 2014 I'm little concerned having too many sensors and gizmos. @Halit Mert Issever please advice how complicated your LR4 is and which garage you are working with? 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.
