how expensive is maintenance of Honda Odyssey

[joonu]

i have heard that buying a car in dubai is easy but maintaining is expensive. I am thinking of buying Honda Odssey and i am not sure if its maintenance will be a rip off so i want some advise please.

thanks

its nothing like what you have heard yes few cars like mercedes, bmw, lexus etc are but not honda cars. they are not expensive to maintain at all.

mufftak is correct... and also if you are planning to buy brand new or 2 years old used car, you won't be having an expensive maintenance, you will just need a PMS (Preventive maintenance service),

Do you guys have specific garage to go to?

My suggestion is never stick to one garage and keep flipping these buggers, as I realized that the moment you get comfortable with one garage then after 2-3 time visit he will skin the hell out of you for all the trust he build in first few visit. I have been bitten by 3 diff garage in exactly same way.

Drive around al quoz, rashidiya, aweer in dubai and you will see plenty of all range of garage and get the three opinion and pick the honest and cheapest garage. Cost of repairing anything in sharjah will be cheaper by 30% so prefer to go there if you have bulky and many things to attend or else for minor maintenance rashidiya and aweer garage are not bad, al quoz is tad more expensive.

I imagine that will happen. Thanks Kasim for the advice, because I just got a really good deal In servicing my car & all of the sudden on my 3rd trip the price get a bit higher when they quoted me.
