Sun and sand are unusually hard on UAE paint. Most of what detailing sells is protection from that, not cleaning. 10 workshops in Al Garhoud list detailing.
Typical turnaround: 4 hours - 3 days. Typically needed coating every 2 - 5 years.
| Car type | Typical example | Estimated AED |
|---|---|---|
| Japanese / Korean saloon | Corolla, Sunny, Elantra, Civic | 300 - 1,200 |
| Large SUV / 4x4 | Land Cruiser, Patrol, Prado, Pajero | 450 - 1,800 |
| German / European | BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW | 500 - 2,200 |
| Luxury / performance | Range Rover, Porsche, Lexus LX | 800 - 6,000 |
Ceramic coating sits at the top of every band and is priced by paint condition and preparation hours, not by car.
Dubai independent labour rates sit above the northern emirates and roughly level with Abu Dhabi.

Of the 189 workshops listed in Al Garhoud, 10 list detailing — about 5% of the local trade. A minority of workshops here list it, so it is worth calling ahead rather than turning up.
If nothing in Al Garhoud suits, the nearest areas in Dubai where workshops list it are Deira (1 workshop, about 5.4 km away), Ras Al Khor (15 workshops, about 5.9 km away), Al Aweer (Ras Al Khor Ind. 3) (7 workshops, about 6.5 km away), Al Qusais (4 workshops, about 6.7 km away).
The same workshops most often also list general repair, denting and painting, tinting, car wash, battery replacement — useful if you want more than one job done in a single visit.
The deepest independent workshop market in the country, concentrated in a handful of industrial zones. Almost any specialism can be found here, and prices span the widest range of any emirate.
Testing and registration: Dubai vehicles are tested at RTA-approved centres — Tasjeel, Shamil, Wasel, Al Mumayaz and Quick Registration among them. Cars over three years old need an annual test before registration renewal.
