800-CarGuru: roadside assistance, servicing and parts in Dubai

800-CarGuru operates as a car garage and service centre in Dubai, combining workshop work with an online store for batteries and tyres. Its own presentation describes it as a car repair and maintenance provider for the UAE, and the site organises its activity around two blocks: roadside assistance and a service centre, alongside a shop for batteries and tyres.

Roadside assistance and on-the-spot interventions

The roadside assistance section lists a set of urgent services that can be requested individually:

• Jump start, priced at AED 100 according to the site.
• Battery change, with a battery collection to choose the replacement.
• Tyre change, linked to the tyre catalogue.
• Fuel delivery, charged only for delivery.
• Car recovery and towing service.

These interventions are presented as separate bookable services rather than as part of a single package.

Workshop services and published starting prices

The service centre covers mechanical maintenance and vehicle inspection. The catalogue at the time of writing this profile listed the following starting prices:

• Oil change from AED 350.
• Brake pads from AED 180.
• AC gas refill at AED 400.
• Minor service from AED 350.
• Major service from AED 550.

Also listed are wheel alignment, vehicle inspection, vehicle passing (RTA) and minor services. The minor and major service blocks detail their inclusions: the minor service covers engine oil and filter change, power steering oil, coolant and brake fluid top-ups, air and cabin filter cleaning, an OBD check and a standard inspection. The major service adds spark plug change, air and cabin filter replacement, transmission filter and oil, differential oil change, disc polish, coolant flushing, tyre rotation, wheel alignment and wheel balancing.

Service contracts by mileage

The site presents three prepaid maintenance contracts with defined coverage:

• Standard 50K: 50,000 km, three minor and two major services, free pickup and drop-off on each visit, 24/7 UAE roadside assistance, engine oil and filter at every service, and air and A/C filters at two major services.
• Standard 100K: 100,000 km, six minor and four major services, with the same pickup, assistance and filter conditions, extending air and A/C filters to four major services.
• Premium 80K: 80,000 km, six minor and two major services, with OEM/genuine major service parts, premium synthetic oil and RTA passing included.

In all three, the major labour covers plugs, filters, gearbox and differential oils, brake pads, coolant flush, disc polish, tyres, alignment, balancing and OBD. Parts outside the covered list are offered with a 10% discount and labour included. The contracts are described as transferable, upgradable and usable across more than 50 workshops in the UAE; the Premium contract adds a coverage limit of one replacement per covered major part at a major visit.

Batteries and tyres in the online shop

The shop sells car batteries and tyres with a search by make, model and year. The battery range shown includes Bosch models in 12V formats from 55AH to 110AH, including AGM and DIN versions, with prices such as AED 1,575 for the Bosch 12V DIN 105AH AGM and AED 501.67 for the Bosch 12V DIN 55AH. Some references appear with monthly payment options.

The tyre catalogue lists brands including Bridgestone, Dunlop, Michelin, Nexen, Apollo, Nitto, Road March and Seam, with sizes and specifications such as 275/40R20 106Y, 215/55R17 94V or 185R14C 102/100T. Several references were marked as sold out at the time of writing this profile.

Vehicle makes covered

The site offers a make-based navigation that lists manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Changan, Dodge, Ferrari, Fiat, Ford, Genesis, GMC, Honda, Hummer, Hyundai, Infiniti and Jaguar, among others, to tailor the search for batteries and tyres.
