The work this service covers at our Dubai Investment Park workshop. Open the full details below.
A car is due for a minor service at 6 signs. The first is its maker's km or month mark after the last visit. The other 5 are steering vibration, brake sounds or a different pedal feel, a new exhaust note, fluid under the car and stale vent air.
The service record shows when, and at what km, the last visit took place, and the maker's schedule sets the gap to the next one. Once the odometer or the calendar passes that gap, the visit is due. We carry out every item that visit lists, from the oil to the inspections.
Vibration in the steering wheel on the road is a change to have checked. We road test the car to find the speed at which the vibration starts. Then we balance the wheels or replace the worn steering or suspension part behind it.
A brake fault shows as 4 changes when stopping. They are an unusual sound, a pull to one side, longer pedal travel and a hard-to-push pedal. We gauge pad and disc thickness and look over the brake lines, then replace the worn or leaking part.
A change in the exhaust sound or a smell of exhaust fumes inside the car needs a check. We inspect the exhaust system for a blowing joint or a holed section and replace the leaking part.
AC condensate dripping while or after the system runs is normal. Drops of oil, coolant or brake fluid mean a leak. We track the drip to the seal, hose or gasket that lets it out and replace that part.
An unpleasant smell, poor airflow or windows that fog up and are hard to clear point to a clogged cabin air filter. We replace a clogged cabin filter when the cabin shows these signs, ahead of its scheduled change.
Our car minor service covers the items your maker's schedule sets for every visit:
Each item on a maker's schedule carries a letter. I means inspect, then adjust, correct, clean or replace as needed, and R means replace or change. We carry out every item as its letter sets out.
A car goes on the severe service schedule in Dubai when its use matches a condition its maker lists. Kia lists 5 for the MQ4 that fit Dubai driving, and a lower-grade oil adds a sixth trigger. On the severe schedule, items are inspected, replaced or refilled sooner than on the normal one.
Between 1981 and 2010, Dubai International Airport logged an annual mean of 17.7 days with rising sand. Dubai's roads take over 3.5 million vehicles each day across 25,000-plus lane-km.
We ask about your roads, your traffic and the oil used at the last service. Then we put the car on the normal or the severe schedule its maker gives.
A car minor service done to the maker's schedule protects the engine, the battery, the tyres and the air you breathe in the cabin. We carry out each item behind these results.
Contaminated intake air deposits dirt on engine parts and can upset electronics, cause ignition problems, waste fuel and shorten engine life. A new engine air filter stops that dirt at the intake.
Kia states that hot weather requires higher-viscosity engine oils for satisfactory lubrication. Kia lists SAE 0W-30 meeting ACEA C2, 5.8 litres in all, for a Middle East MQ4 G2.5.
Summer heat speeds up the ageing of a car battery through grid corrosion. Knowing its condition before June gives you the chance to change a tired battery before July and August.
Correct pressure and tyres in good condition guard against blowouts in high summer temperatures.
A fresh cabin air filter reduces the dust, allergens and fumes that circulate with the air conditioning.
The RTA periodic test examines steering play, tyres, suspension and battery mounting. A minor service inspects the steering, the tyres, the ball joints and the battery between tests.
Minor car services in Dubai fall due at the km or month mark set by the car's maker. On Kia's schedule for the 2024 MQ4 outside Europe, a visit falls every 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. Its Middle East line sets the G2.5 petrol oil and filter change at 10,000 km or 12 months.
Under severe use, that Middle East G2.5 oil change comes at 5,000 km or 6 months. On the same Middle East MQ4, the 12 V battery gets an inspection at 10,000 km or 6 months.
Hyundai sets the oil and filter at 10,000 km or 12 months for the 2025 US4 in its Middle East schedule. We set the next visit from the first of the 2 figures your car's maker gives.
Our minor service has 6 steps, from reading the schedule to torquing the wheel nuts.
We find the visit that is due from your car's model, engine, market and service record.
Our first job under the bonnet is to wipe dust from round the oil filler cap, sump plug and dipstick before opening them. The step matters most in dusty or sandy areas.
We let the old engine oil drain out, fit a new oil filter and fill to the maker's grade and quantity.
We fit a new engine air filter and a new cabin air filter at each visit that marks them R.
We inspect the steering rack, linkage and boots, the ball joints, the 12 V battery and the brake fluid. A torn boot, a worn joint or a failed battery that this inspection finds is replaced.
We set each tyre to the maker's pressure and tighten the wheel nuts to its torque. On a Kia coded MQ4 with 235/65R17 tyres, that is 2.4 bar front and rear at normal load and 107 to 127 N·m.
Book a minor service by phone or WhatsApp, and bring the service record for your car.
The cost of a car minor service in Dubai is set by 4 factors. These are the engine's oil grade and quantity, the filters due, the normal or severe schedule and any worn part found. An engine with a bigger sump takes more oil, and its maker's specification sets the oil type.
WhatsApp us the make, model, engine and km of your car, and we work out which items fall due.
Our minor service method follows each maker's own items and values.
Kia and Hyundai replace the engine air filter at each Middle East visit on the MQ4 and the Tucson NX4. Their other markets inspect it and replace it at every third visit. We follow the Middle East line wherever a maker prints one.
Kia tells MQ4 owners never to add additives to the engine oil. We fill the oil your maker lists and add nothing to it.
Scalding coolant and steam can blow out under pressure when a hot system is opened. We check the coolant with the engine cold and top up with deionised or soft water, never hard water, as Kia sets for the MQ4.
Kia's drive belt check on the MQ4 G2.5 falls at every second visit. It covers the tensioner, the idler and the alternator pulley as well as the belt. We inspect all 4 parts and replace the worn one.
Kia makes maintenance and record keeping the owner's responsibility, and the records establish compliance with its servicing requirements. Repairs caused by missed maintenance fall outside its cover. We log the km, the date and every item of each service we carry out.
Kia's MQ4 schedule inspects the AC compressor and refrigerant at every visit. Our technicians check both at each minor service and repair a fault they find.
Owners can run 4 sets of checks between minor services in Dubai. They fall at each fuel stop, once a month, every 500 km and every spring and autumn. Kia sets 3 of these sets for MQ4 owners, and Hyundai sets the 500 km oil check for US4 owners.
At each fill-up, Kia wants MQ4 owners to look at the coolant reservoir, the windscreen washer fluid and the tyres for low pressure.
The monthly list covers every exterior light, including the stoplights, turn signals and hazard flashers. It adds the pressure of all tyres, the spare included, and loose wheel nuts.
For the US4, Hyundai asks owners to check the dipstick and look for leaks at 500 km intervals and ahead of any long trip.
Kia sets a check at least twice annually for the AC, heater and radiator hoses, the washer spray, the wipers and headlight alignment. We replace a worn wiper or a failed bulb that these checks bring to light.
Tell us the make, model and what the car is doing, and we book it in at our Dubai Investment Park 2 workshop. Free pickup and drop-off by our driver comes with a service contract. Every service comes with a free car wash.
Regular servicing keeps small faults from turning into big repairs. Both packages are carried out by certified technicians using genuine or quality parts.

Dubai Investment Park 2. Ramps, a body shop and a detailing bay, all in one place.
A minor service at our workshop covers the items due at every visit on the maker's schedule. Those are the oil, the filters and checks such as the steering and tyres. A major service adds longer-interval items, such as a brake fluid change at 45,000 km or 36 months on Kia's MQ4 schedule.
Yes. Every car minor service we carry out drains the engine oil, renews the oil filter and refills to the maker's grade. On Kia's MQ4 schedule for the Middle East, the 10,000 km oil interval of the G2.5 engine is shorter than the 15,000 km visit interval. An oil change can therefore fall due between 2 visits.
We replace it. Kia's MQ4 schedule and Hyundai's Tucson NX4 schedule both mark the engine air filter for replacement at every Middle East visit.
Yes. We inspect the brake fluid at every minor service. Kia's schedule for the MQ4 in markets outside Europe adds a check of the brake discs, pads, lines and hoses at every second visit. That visit falls at 30,000 km or 24 months.
