I'm in a bit of a jam here, my Mini Cooper just decided to give up on me in the basement parking of my office in Zaabeel and I've got a meeting in an hour that I can't miss. I've heard that these cars can be really temperamental with battery changes, especially regarding the electrical system and ne...

So I've got a 2016 GMC Yukon that I use for family trips and honestly it's been such a solid vehicle, but about two weeks ago I started noticing this really unsettling hesitation when I'm accelerating from a stop, like the transmission is taking too long to engage and then suddenly it clunks into ge...

I help manage a volunteer organization in Sharjah that provides supplies to labour camps and low-income communities, and one of our biggest challenges is having enough safe drinking water available for distribution. We've been using these large metal tanks but they're heavy, they rust, and honestly ...

I was honestly preparing for the worst when my 2014 458 Spider started blowing hot air on the driver side while the passenger side was still freezing cold. You know how these cars can be, your brain immediately jumps to five figure repair bills and weeks of waiting for parts from Italy. I asked arou...

I was fully prepared to be writing one of those depressing posts about how my 2015 GMC Sierra gave up on life and I had to sell it for scrap but instead I'm sitting here on a Friday morning with a cup of karak and a truck that shifts smoother than it has in the three years I've owned it, and I just ...

I keep coming back to this 2019 F Pace S that's been sitting on Dubizzle for a few weeks now, the blue with the black pack looks absolutely gorgeous and the seller dropped the price again this morning which is making me think maybe I should just go for it, but then I remember every single conversati...

I hurt my knee pretty bad last fall working at a auto shop near Catskill, but I never reported it officially because my boss said he'd cover the doctor visit out of pocket and I didn't want to cause trouble. Fast forward to now, my knee still gives out on me sometimes, and the boss is pretending he ...

I've had my Aston Martin DB11 for about 18 months now and it's been an absolute dream, but I'll admit I've been slacking on keeping it as pristine as it deserves. The paint has picked up some fine swirl marks from the previous owner's wash routine and there are a few light scratches that catch the l...

I've got a 2017 Escalade with the magnetic ride control and honestly when it's working right it's one of the smoothest things I've ever driven. But lately it's been feeling really floaty and disconnected, like the suspension is just too soft and the car kind of wallows around on the highway. I remem...

Just wanted to share a positive experience because I feel like finding a good independent garage for these cars is like finding a needle in a haystack. I've had my 2017 E300 for about three years and I've been bouncing between the dealership (which is insanely priced) and a couple of other places th...
