Of the 72 workshops listed in Bur Dubai, 7 list tinting — about 10% of the local trade. A minority of workshops here list it, so it is worth calling ahead rather than turning up.
If nothing in Bur Dubai suits, the nearest areas in Dubai where workshops list it are Deira (1 workshop, about 5.1 km away), Al Garhoud (15 workshops, about 7.4 km away), Ras Al Khor (28 workshops, about 9.3 km away), Al Qusais (17 workshops, about 11 km away).
The same workshops most often also list battery replacement, general repair, denting and painting, car wash, auto electrical — useful if you want more than one job done in a single visit.
