Honestly, I’m still getting used to the driving here, it’s a whole different ball game compared to back home. My car’s been making this weird squealing noise whenever I brake, especially in stop-and-go traffic, so I figure the pads are probably done for. I’ve been putting it off because I’m always paranoid about getting ripped off at a garage, especially since I don’t know the area well. I just want a straightforward place where they do a proper job and don’t try to invent extra problems. I saw something about exclusive brake pad replacement offers in Dubai while I was browsing online, but I’d rather go somewhere based on a real recommendation from someone who’s been through it. Has anyone had a good experience with a specific garage in Al Quoz or around Sheikh Zayed Road?
