Oil and filter changes are the most quoted job in the UAE and the one where quotes differ most for reasons that have nothing to do with quality. 8 workshops in Al Jazirah Al Hamra list oil change.
Typical turnaround: 30 - 60 minutes. Typically needed every 5,000 - 10,000 km.
| Car type | Typical example | Estimated AED |
|---|---|---|
| Japanese / Korean saloon | Corolla, Sunny, Elantra, Civic | 120 - 320 |
| Large SUV / 4x4 | Land Cruiser, Patrol, Prado, Pajero | 250 - 600 |
| German / European | BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW | 280 - 700 |
| Luxury / performance | Range Rover, Porsche, Lexus LX | 450 - 1,200 |
The spread is oil grade and quantity, not labour. A 4-litre Corolla and an 8.5-litre Land Cruiser are different jobs before anyone lifts a spanner.
Low rates, but fewer specialist options — complex German and luxury work often travels to Dubai or Sharjah.
