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. 30 workshops in RAK Industrial Area 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.

A smaller market concentrated in the industrial area and Al Jazirah Al Hamra, weighted towards general repair, tyres and bodywork rather than marque specialists.
