The mechanic I have been using for the past five years recently retired and moved back to his home country which leaves me in a difficult position. I am not someone who enjoys hopping between different garages and hoping for the best. I prefer building a relationship with one person who knows my car's history and driving habits. Finding a reliable auto technician in Abu Dhabi has become my weekend mission because I have a long trip planned next month and want everything checked before I hit the road. I have asked a few colleagues but everyone seems to have different opinions. How do you personally vet a new mechanic before trusting them with your car? I want someone who communicates clearly and does not push unnecessary services.
