Of the 862 workshops listed in Sharjah, 24 list inspection — about 3% of the local trade. A minority of workshops here list it, so it is worth calling ahead rather than turning up.
Within Sharjah it clusters in Sharjah Industrial Area (14), Al Sajaa Industrial (4), Khor Fakkan (3), Muwailih (2), Al Dhaid (1).
The same workshops most often also list general repair, denting and painting, auto electrical, AC repair, tyres — useful if you want more than one job done in a single visit.
Industrial Area and Al Sajaa hold a very large concentration of workshops, and Sharjah is where a great many Dubai residents go for body and paint work because the rates are lower.
Testing and registration: Sharjah registration and testing is handled through Sharjah Police approved centres. Requirements differ from Dubai — check before assuming a Dubai test transfers.
One request, several workshops. Free for car owners.
