| Large SUV / 4x4 | Land Cruiser, Patrol, Prado, Pajero | 200 - 1,400 |
| German / European | BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW | 350 - 3,000 |
| Luxury / performance | Range Rover, Porsche, Lexus LX | 500 - 5,000 |

Of the 24 workshops listed in Dubai South, 4 list auto electrical — about 17% of the local trade. A minority of workshops here list it, so it is worth calling ahead rather than turning up.
If nothing in Dubai South suits, the nearest areas in Dubai where workshops list it are Dubai Investment Park (17 workshops, about 2.2 km away), Jebel Ali (4 workshops, about 8.9 km away), Al Barsha (13 workshops, about 14 km away), Al Quoz (62 workshops, about 16 km away).
The same workshops most often also list general repair, denting and painting, battery replacement, tyres, detailing — useful if you want more than one job done in a single visit.
