2 workshops in Dubai name Infiniti in their own trading name. Shares mechanicals with Nissan, so Nissan specialists usually cover Infiniti at a lower rate.
Infiniti's UAE agency is Arabian Automobiles. Under warranty, the agency or an approved workshop is usually the right call. Out of warranty, an independent workshop with the right diagnostic software generally does the same job for meaningfully less.
The thing to check is not the badge on the door but whether they have the software for your car. Ask which diagnostic system they use before you book.
Infiniti sits in the Luxury / performance price band. These are estimated independent-garage ranges — the workshop sets the final price.

| Brake Repair | 900 - 4,500 | 2 - 4 hours |
| Battery Replacement | 600 - 1,600 | 20 - 40 minutes |
| Car Repair | 500 - 8,000 | diagnosis same day, repair depends |

2 workshops in Dubai either name Infiniti or position themselves around european cars. They cluster like this:
Once the manufacturer warranty has expired, the calculation changes. Arabian Automobiles will still service the car, and for a warranty claim or a recall that is the right place. For routine servicing and out-of-warranty repair, an independent workshop with the correct software generally does the same work for meaningfully less.
What you give up is the stamp in the agency book, which matters at resale on some marques more than others. On a luxury car it can matter a great deal, so keep every invoice and every parts receipt.
